Joe Pyne -OK...technically, he was a radio talk show host

Former KRTH morning man Dean Goss was the OCA for Let's Make a deal in the 80's. Actually he was on camera as well.

Charlie Tuna and M.G. Kelly did some announcing work including several game shows.

Wasn't Casey Kasem the voice of NBC for awhile?

 

[MsMusicRadio]

What about Charlie Van Dyke?

 

[LKellerIII]

Correction - I meant to put Robert David Hall in the voice-over category. I don't believe he ever hosted a game show.
