I'm not asking "Which of these people http://www.bing.com/search?q=list%20of%20game%20show%20hosts&rrid=_4a4d8ca6-d007-c59d-34cf-7b40dfa07200 have-made the most money or -had the most fans or -hosted the most hours-of-television," I'm asking 'which game-show host is the "optimal game-show host"?' ... like he/she was born to host a game-show (or two or five)? My choice (and the reason I asked this question) is Ellen DeGeneres ... mostly because I'm jealous of her. Oh, I'm sure she has struggles in life and deals with a lot of stress etc.; but you'd never know it, even as you watch her do some of the 'stress-adding labor' (starring in sitcoms, talk-shows & game-shows, and probably producing/writing/directing/deep-fried catering a ton more movies & tv shows & ... i dunno, Broadway musicals & fireworks displays & playing-card castles etc!) I watch her in Ellen's Game of Games, and I see her graciously take her seat on the puppet-master's throne! Are there any game-show hosts who more thoroughly take control (control that's taken lovingly & humbly, and then given back almost as graciously) of their contestants very souls?

You are only referring to current game show hosts?

@mythociate I do not have a favorite. I used to watch Ellen and loved her little dance up the stairs in the beginning of the show and liked her. i thought she was really funny.

I have seen her on youtube a bit but apart from that I donĀ“t know much about her really. I liked what I have seen of her. There are a couple of good hosts here too but you would not know them for sure.

I haven't watched game shows in ages so I have forgotten who all the old ones were and I do not know any of the new ones.

I love Ellen's game show. It is hilarious. I also really love Steve Harvey.
