Game Show Host: Todd Newton

Todd Newton is one of the best of the "new" breed of game show hosts. It's hard to call him new. He's been around for a decade or more now in our homes...or close to a decade. He has hosted a number of game shows, probably most notably "Whammy! The All-New Press Your Luck" and "Hollywood Showdown," both on GSN, with "Showdown" being reran on both the TV Guide Channel and the now defunct PAX-TV. He did an absolutely amazing job on "Whammy!" and "Showdown," earning my respect as a true game show host. He also served as announcer on "Lingo" during the 2003 April Fools' Day stints on GSN. For that day, he also host the Mark Wahlberg-hosted "Russian Roulette," doing a truly great job. In a complete misplacement of job position, he was the prize delivery correspondent on "Gameshow Marathon" on CBS during the summer of 2006. He did a GREAT job on it, but DEFINITELY should have been the host. He also hosted such shows as "Powerball Instant Millionaire" as well as non-game shows like "Performing As..." and "Reality Remix." He is currently a host on HSN, but thoroughly deserves to be a new host. Absolutely amazing host!!!
