Top 10 Worst Game Show Hosts

Richard Karn

Richard Karn is terrible! How dare he try and take credit: "I'm tripling the points!" The game show is set up that way! He does terrible impressions and is about as awkward as any human I have ever seen or met. He is by far the worst host.
Louie was not very good either.

He was always the sideline punster on Home Improvement, and he brought his total lack of personality to Family Feud and made me want to change the channel every time.
Sad, because I love Family Feud.

So awkward to watch him stumble through an entire show. It just makes you feel embarrassed for all the contestants who had to endure his witless banter for 22 minutes an episode.

Louie Anderson

A morbidly obese, boring, annoying moron with no talent. Nothing he says is funny. I would like to meet the people who decided to make him the host of this show and punch them in the face for polluting the airwaves with that P.O.S.!

Some people up there thought Richard Karn was bad. They have not seen Louie Anderson.

Karn was not as bad as Louie Anderson. In fact, it's not even much of a competition.

Patrick Wayne

Two words: YOU WIN!
Granted, he was handed a rather poor show, but all he did was make it even worse.

Jim Caldwell

Jim Caldwell is the worst game show host ever. He made mistakes constantly throughout every show. I fail to see how he remained a game show host. No preparation whatsoever.

Arsenio Hall

Vernon Kay

Drew Carey

Andrew Allison "Drew" Carey is an American actor, comedian, sports executive, and game show host. He gained fame through The Drew Carey Show and later became the host of the long-running game show The Price Is Right. Carey is also a part-owner of the Major League Soccer team Seattle Sounders FC.

The Price is Right must have really been desperate in their choice of Drew Carey to fill the huge shoes of Bob Barker as host of the show. He is absolutely silly. There is nothing funny about him or his idiotic heckling at his own jokes, which are not funny at all. He does stupid things like shaking hands too much, offering shout-outs, and then saying hello to everyone.
There could have been a far better host for this iconic show. Drew Carey is bringing the ratings down with his idiotic manner. He needs to go ASAP. Get a real host who can live up to Bob Barker's standard.

Drew Carey is a poor man's replacement for Bob Barker and also getting no love from the Daytime Emmys. Barker is still the best, and they should've picked someone much better, with the brains like Bob and not as funny as Drew.
Todd Newton or Tom Bergeron would've been great candidates to replace Bob, not Drew Carey. Either that, or The Price Is Right should get cancelled in a very bad way.

Cedric the Entertainer

John Davidson

Michael Burger

Chuck Woolery

He never hosted anything good. Love Connection was trash, Pat Sajak is the true host of Wheel of Fortune, Bill Engvall was more entertaining as the host of Lingo, and Greed was just a failed attempt at trying to copy Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

Love Connection sucked. Scrabble didn't last, and Pat Sajak was a way better host. Also, Greed sucked too.
Speaking of Greed, he now does podcasts kissing Trump's ass nowadays.

Robert Belushi

Pat Sajak

He thinks he's so funny, but he makes me want to gag! He is so controlling - not only with Vanna, but with the contestants as well. He tries to make them look stupid, and he thinks he has to tell them what to do and when to do it, as though they don't have any intelligence, when actually they are all much more intelligent than he is.
I do a lot of muting when I watch this show, all because of him!

The most boring, stupid, and annoying show host. He doesn't know what words to say besides calling some alphabets. The worst thing is when people are disappointed because they cannot solve the puzzle, then he gets upset.
When are they going to replace him?

Rolf Benirschke

Given his life story and his battle with ulcerative colitis, I really sympathized with the guy, but good God, as a game show host, he was totally out of his element. After six cringe-worthy months as Sajak's daytime replacement, he was mercifully replaced by Bob Goen.
Not surprisingly, he hasn't done any television since.

Ben Gleib

What an uncharismatic, smarmy, awkward, unattractive host. Makes me want to punch him in the face. I think the show and concept are fun, but I can't tolerate watching him - so I don't watch.

He has this jerk quality that's difficult to tolerate. His jokes (especially when he gets personal with people) are cringy as hell.

Host of Idiotest. I fast forward through the banter between him and the contestants. Such a condescending, sarcastic prick!

Steve Harvey

Broderick Stephen Harvey, known professionally as Steve Harvey, is an American comedian, television host, producer, radio personality, actor, and author. He is best known for hosting The Steve Harvey Morning Show, Family Feud, and The Steve Harvey Show. Harvey has also authored several self-help books... read more

I feel badly saying negative things about anybody, but although I like Family Feud, I have a hard time when Mr. Harvey makes jokes. I don't think they are funny, and I wish he would stop doing so much of that. He seems to be trying to make the show about himself.
That being said, I am sure he is a fine person, and he does a much better job than I would do.

Worst host the show has ever had in my opinion. It's called Family Feud, not "Steve Harvey Does Improv." He brings the fun of the time-tested FF format to a screeching halt every time he mugs for the camera or does some ridiculously over-the-top reaction to the mildest "impolite" humor.

Alex Trebek

It gets old watching him day after day, year after year. Time for him to move on.

A know-it-all, with all the answers right in front of him.

No personality. No sense of humor.

Wayne Brady

Lifeless and dull. Looks like he just wants to be anywhere but there. Let's Make a Deal would be better with anybody else as the host. Just awful. The worst.

John O'Hurley

He should be number one. He just made it seem like he was bored and didn't like being there.

Howie Mandel

Howard Michael "Howie" Mandel is a Canadian comedian, actor, television host, and voice actor. He gained early recognition as Dr. Wayne Fiscus on the medical drama St. Elsewhere and became widely known for creating and hosting the game show Deal or No Deal. He's also notable for his voice work on the... read more

He is horrible at everything - he's not funny and makes idiotic comments on America's Got Talent. If he weren't a germaphobe, no one would hear from him.

Pat Finn

This whole show is terrible, and Pat Finn is so uncomfortable, it's hard to watch him. GSN, please remove this show that you air during the afternoon so many times and replace it with a good game show.

Anne Robinson

Lynn Swann

Lynn Curtis Swann is an American former professional football player, broadcaster, politician, and athletic director. He played as a wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1974 to 1982 and won four Super Bowls with the team. Swann was named Super Bowl X MVP and was inducted into the Pro Football... read more

He put me to sleep when he was on To Tell the Truth. That's how bad he was.

Sherri Shepherd

Doug Davidson

Richard Dawson

He was too controlling on the show. It was all about him, and he fought with the producers. Kissing every female on the show and marrying one, then having a kid with her. I'm glad he is gone. The show was good, but Richard should have been let go after the first year.
