We rarely associate hotness with game show hosting, but why is that? It takes bravado, rigidity, and charisma to run a good game show, and I'd say the same rubric applies to male strippers and So You Think You Can Dance contestants. In honor of the late Richard Dawson, the original host of Family Feud and an unforgettable Match Game panelist, I'll be tallying the hottest men of televised gaming. Please remember to phrase your cat-calls in the form of question.
10. Jeff Probst, Rock & Roll Jeopardy
Though he only hosted VH1's Jeopardy! spinoff from 1998 to 2001, Jeff Probst's dimpled cuteness and conversational hosting style were enough to substantiate him as a great emcee. Naturally he's better remembered for hosting Survivor for all of its 5,700 cycles, but he looked mighty fine standing behind Trebek's podium.

Gsn is moving forward with its revival of "The Newlywed Game," ordering 40 half-hour episodes from executive producer Michael Davies.
The series, a modern take on the classic game show, is set to begin shooting in February in New York for a spring premiere on Gsn, where it will air weekdays. Sony Pictures TV and Davies' studio-based Embassy Row are producing.
Davies ("Who Wants to Be a Millionaire") said the show will be updated in an organic way.
"Marriage has changed over the years -- what couples talk about, what they fight about," said Davies, a fan of the original. "So there will be a lot of updating just by the fact of our casting. In doing presentations, it's become clear to us that wives today are far more vocal than in the previous episodes. There's just a lot of guys looking concerned that they're about to get in trouble -- and usually they do.
