    Not to be that guy but Stage 4 pancreatic cancer is pretty much very tough to fight.
    Mostly because it tends to be diagnosed late...you don't hear a lot of stage 1 or 2..and by stage 4 it has spread to distant sites.

    "The five-year survival rate for distant (stage IV) pancreatic cancer is 3 percent"

    I wonder if Dawson could have gotten away with all the kissing in this day and age.

    Oh hell no, he'd be a pariah.

    It is hilarious watching the old gameshows every once in a while.

    ok, forgot about him. Who else?

    I watched the "Celebrity Match Game" the other rainy day at my grandmothers....I don't remember the host's name but he is straight up one of the creepiest people I've ever seen.

    He looks like a ventriloquist dummy that came to life and turned into a sex offender

    Don’t forget the uplifting tale of game host Ray Combs.
    Drew Carey... Monty Hall...Ed McMahon on Star Search.

    That guy is really creepy. Has the same feel as the Richard Speck prison video... with a splash of John Carpenter after turning Bob Crane into guacamole.

    One of my classic favorites was Bill Cullen. Dude always seemed so oblivious to the game show answers.

    I remember seeing a pretty great actor on TV (forget who it was) say that unscripted TV is the hardest thing to do in entertainment. Game show hosts and people that host live events are super good at what they do and its a niche skill set.
