Not in a face-eating way necessarily, but the man made it his mission to kiss every woman he could, which likely wouldn't fly these days. But despite all that, Dawson was charming and funny and he seemed like a likeable enough guy. But that was on camera. Behind the scenes, rumors of Dawson's behavior were a little less than complimentary. He would clash with producers over whether contestant answers qualified, and he'd tell long stories that ate up screen time and jokes that needed to be edited out.
He'd get angry when lightbulbs were burned out. At one point he even forbade a show producer from coming on set and hired his own daughter-in-law to fill the role.
In a number of ways, he became the parody of a game show host he ended up playing in the movie The Running Man. For a hot minute in , the game show Weakest Link was the hottest thing on American television. Part of the charm was host Anne Robinson, the antithesis of the usual friendly game show host in that she was a stern, stone-faced British person who mocked failed contestants and dismissed them with a curt, "You are the Weakest Link, goodbye!
But maybe it wasn't. In October , Robinson weighed in on the then-young MeToo movement, which aims to call out and eradicate sexual harassment and other awful behavior, particularly in the workplace.
Back in her day, four decades ago, they "had a much more robust attitude to men behaving badly," she told BBC Radio 4. She added: "I was also really shocked that women further up the pole weren't doing more to curtail it. That's, as they say, problematic.
Alec Baldwin does a lot of things. Off-camera, Baldwin is something of a hothead. In , he ran after a photographer trying to take his picture and levied a profane, homosexual slur.
In April , Baldwin got in a fight with an ex-aide to Mitt Romney, which ended in some more anti-gay language. Baldwin doesn't even save his vitriol for strangers. In , a voicemail Baldwin left for his year-old daughter, Ireland, leaked to the media. Apparently, she missed a scheduled phone call from dear old dad, and he came unglued. He topped it off by calling his flesh and blood a "thoughtless little pig. Woolery left the show in and from then on it was hosted by Pat Sajak.
Sajak, a former weatherman, only left the job briefly to host his own talk show but has otherwise remained at the helm of the show for most of its run. While his onscreen chemistry with both Vanna White and the contestants is mostly innocuous stuff, off screen things have gotten a little contentious. On Twitter, which allows anyone and everyone to speak without really thinking first, Sajak has loudly and aggressively espoused his disbelief in the science behind climate change.
In May , Salon noted that Sajak wrote "I now believe global warming alarmists are unpatriotic racists knowingly misleading for their own ends. Sajak later tried to backtrack his comment saying it was just meant as a joke, the "racist" part tossed in to highlight the name-calling directed at those who don't believe in science, but Vice dug into his posting history and noted that he's been denying climate change for quite some time.
Stein has actually been in law and politics for years, however, and was a speechwriter for Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. That said, Stein is also known for having some pretty questionable ideas. Stein made a movie called Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed that was critical of evolution. And that's fine, but as the USA Today review notes, the movie portrays anyone who supports evolution as un-American The Anti-Defamation League actually released a statement denouncing the film for its misappropriation of the Holocaust.
Strauss-Kahn has been accused of numerous sexual assaults over the years and, though never found guilty, he has settled at least one civil suit against an accuser out of court. Rather than dealing in facts, Stein's defense rested on the idea that Strauss-Kahn was either too important to sexually assault someone, or that it's just not a thing people like him do.
Yes, if we've learned anything in our modern era, it's that rich men are terrified of abusing their power over women. If you like Family Feud at all, you have Match Game to thank for it. Match Game is where Richard Dawson got his start in game shows before going on to host Feud , and it's also the inspiration for the whole show. Basically, Family Feud was an adapted version of Match Game 's final round, even though the rest of the game format was very different.
On that show, a contestant has to match fill-in-the-blank answers with a celebrity from a panel of guests, all under the helpful guidance of host Gene Rayburn.
Match Game was very much a product of the s and looking back on it years later can induce some serious cringe. Host Gene Rayburn routinely engaged in banter that, by today's standards, would qualify as racist, sexist, or just generally offensive.
Clips show Rayburn acting like what could be at best described as a dirty old man. In one clip he seems to actually grope panelist Elaine Joyce then laugh it off when she calls him out on it. In a different clip he makes Joyce stand up to show off her outfit. Another time he dropped two jokes in a row about Fannie Flag's breasts.
In addition to the writing on the show constantly playing on innuendo, Rayburn was definitely into making things uncomfortable for some members of the audience. Way up north during the s, Canada was airing its own string of exceptionally '80s game shows that suffered from a lot of the terrible wardrobes and bad haircuts you'd expect from '80s TV.
One of those shows was called Just Like Mom and featured children as the contestants along with their mothers. The pairs had to match questions and then mom had to eat some gross "bake-off" items to guess which one their own kid made.
They also had to deal with host Fergie Olver. In years after the show aired, clips began to circulate on YouTube that really showcased how off-putting Olver was as a host.
In particular, he had a habit of very frequently kissing the little girls on the show. Often he would ask for a kiss and regardless of whether the girl agreed, he'd proceed to give one. Most of these girls are between 6 and 12 years old, and most very clearly don't want to be touched by Olver as they literally recoil from him.
But he kept doing it. Maclean's magazine in Canada discussed the issue , pointing out that audiences likely never noticed how weird it was at the time, but when it's run all together it's exceptionally uncomfortable to watch. Viewers might expect a certain amount of insults to be flung at contestants in reality and competitions shows like The X Factor — especially considering it's headed by the music guru everyone loves to hate: Simon Cowell.
But it turns out there are hosts who have crossed lines that even Cowell just glances at from afar. There's constructive criticism, and then there's whatever it was that husband-and-wife judges Natalia Kills and Willy Moon decided to do to year-old contestant Joe Irvine. After his performance, Kills accused him via The Guardian of stealing her husband's look, then called him "disgusting," "artistically atrocious," and "creepy," adding "you make me sick.
They were fired shortly after, with the statement, "While the judges on X Factor are expected to provide critiques of the performances, we will not tolerate such destructive tirades from any of the judges. Kills and Moon felt the outrage on social media, and both later apologized, saying via Billboard that "things got out of hand. It's not entirely surprising that in June of , The Wrap announced E! What is surprising is just how often Hart makes it clear how homophobic he is.
In , he did an interview on the New York radio station Power He also noted that he "appreciates and respects" the gay community. But it didn't seem that way in , when he — as The Verge put it — "tweeted himself out of a job hosting the Oscars. Hart hasn't stopped the hurtful comments. In , NBC reported that he was at the center of another controversy when he shrugged off Lil Nas X for trying to have a serious conversation about the stigma gay people still face.
Once again, Twitter made it clear that dismissive homophobia is not cool. From to , History says Queen for a Day gave audiences some entertainment that would be very, very uncomfortable today.
Host Jack Bailey would interview a panel of four pre-selected women who each wanted something, and at the end, the winner was chosen by audience applause. Here's where it gets creepy. Bailey was a former carnival barker, which gives an idea of his style. And the contestants on the show were poor, down-on-their-luck women who were asking for things they desperately needed — requests included a wheelchair for a disabled child, a crib that didn't keep falling apart, an artificial leg, a gurney so a polio-stricken child could get some fresh air, and encyclopedias for children's schoolwork.

Left a review a few days ago, but looks like it didn't go through or got removed. I was stuck on that without any boosters left for 4 days straight! I hate when you do the challenges, that are already next to impossible without 50 boosts to help you, and once you finally beat it, you realize that if you lose the next round, you have to go back to level one and spend days tryna beat it AGAIN! Once your lives are gone, realize you have no boosts, no coins, not enough gems It suddenly started glitching, right in the middle of a great game, it freezes I love the cut away scenes and though I can see the words they are using, there are no animated characters talking, just a black screen.
