You get the tic, you get the tac, you get the dough...but watch out for that dragon! Tic Tac Dough, hosted by the now-late Wink Martindale, was a television staple long before Jeopardy ruled the prime-time game show realm. Countless hours were spent watching that and Joker’s Wild. Wink was an affable host, moving the game along with deft humor.

Two titans of television game show history already adorn my personal Mt. Rushmore of Dead Game Show Hosts: Alex Trebek and Bob Barker. I would place Wink on there as well. With a fourth vacancy, I’m interested in reading which departed personality you’d add.

Richard Dawson? Monte Hall? Chuck Woolery?
