Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

Howdy Doody and Buffalo Bob! While they weren't really Game Show hosts they were by far the Greatest!

Bob Barker is awesome, but Drew Carey rocks, too. But my favorite is Wayne Brady in Let's Make a Deal. Hilarious!

I agree with this. Drew is cool in some respects (like he actually chit-chats with the contestants, makes comments, etc.) but he's not Bob. And I like Wayne Brady too. Awesome host.

I'm Bryan. Nice to meet you, Wooter.

I believe the correct line is:

"I'll take The Rapists..."

Trebek, Sajak and Dawson are all known for one show. You're missing Chuck Woolery and Bob Eubanks, for sure!

No love for Pat Sajak? Did 95% of woot voters miss the twitter/trebek-vid awesomeness last year?

I miss those....
