Dick Clark would need it when taping 10 episodes of “The 10,000 Pyramid” in a day. Game shows were once shown live, or taped with hardly any interruptions, so the skill of an experienced broadcaster used to those conditions was prized, Nedeff said.
“He's kind of the last of the old school,” said Adam Nedeff, author and researcher for the National Archive of Game Show History at the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York. He'll be forever known for standing onstage at the wheel, with Vanna White at the board. But he was 35 years old when he started hosting “Wheel of Fortune” and will be 77 when he leaves next year.
He has a handful of other entries on his resume, disc jockey (many of his ilk also got their start in radio) and television weatherman among them. Each of the other men was known primarily as broadcast television game show hosts.
