Bob Eubanks Hosts Special Game Show Host “Newlywed Game” May 18th

If you’ve got GSN, you aren’t going to want to miss The Newlywed Game Tuesday, May 18th, at 6:00PM ET.  The show, now in its third season, is generally hosted by Carnie Wilson.  However, she will quickly be taking a step away from the hosts podium and allow the legendary original host the show, Bob Eubanks, to take over.  He’s hosting a very special edition of the show as well.  Eubanks will preside over the game show icons edition.

Famous game show hosts Wink Martindale (of Tic Tac Dough and others), Monty Hall (of Let’s Make A Deal), and Peter Marshall (of Hollywood Squares) will all compete with their wives to win $10,000 for the charity of their choice.  The two runners-up will receive $2,500 each.  Again, this episode will air at 6:00PM ET on Tuesday, May 18th, with an encore at 9:00PM ET.  Bob Eubanks hosted an episode of the show back in January when Carnie Wilson and her family became contestants, so it’s great seeing him back.

GSN sent me a screener copy of the show.  Those of you who are fans of the classic game shows are in for a real treat.  It’s an incredibly funny and candid look into the lives of some of your favorite hosts.  It’s great seeing them all interact.  However, most importantly, it’s just nice to see Bob Eubanks step in as host again.  He brings a lot into the show and it’s amazing how quick witted and hysterical he is.  It’s especially interesting because it’s clear all these guys know each other, so there’s a lot more good-natured ribbing which makes for some memorable answers.  Don’t miss it.
