Classic Game Show Host: Peter Tomarken

Peter Tomarken was one of the most underrated game show hosts in the history of game shows. His ability to deliver directions and questions while still having the ability to be fun and playful with the contestants is a skill not every host has (Rossi Moreale from "Temptation" anyone?). His style was laid-back while still forceful, fun yet still serious. He was truly a legend. If he were alive today, I would not be surprised if he were in demand for a new GSN game show. He was that good. Thank goodness we have "Press Your Luck" to look back on to see how great this man was. For those unaware, "Hit Man," "Bargain Hunters," "Wipeout," and "Paranoia" are other game shows hosted by this great host. He was truly a legend.
