The visible front end of any [[Game Show]]. This is the person who moderates the show and actually runs the game; s/he also enforces the rules (though s/he usually has to defer to off-screen officials for any close judgment calls), engages in small talk with the guests, and keeps the mood light and fun.
Line 10:
There has been a recent (not new) trend, at least for high-profile American programs, to cast has-been D-listers as Game Show Hosts.
* [[Bill Cullen]], the original host of ''[[The Price Is Right]]'', ''[[Blockbusters]]'', and many other shows.
* Bob Barker of ''[[Truth or Consequences]]'' and ''The Price Is Right'', probably the most famous game show host in history.
