Just like how they passed the torches to Gary Kroeger and Brad Sherwood in 1996. It ain’t happenin’.

I like both of these ladies, so I’ll give the shows a shot. I hope they do well.

Wait…I think you got the hosts mixed up. The Reuters article says that Kim Coles is hosting The Dating Game and Judy Gold is hosting The Newlywed Game, which makes more sense to me.

GSN is aiming for the female audience, particularly the housewives, and these 2 shows have a history of attracting female audiences. So it didn’t surprise me that Kim Coles (who was funny on Living Single and In Living Color despite the fact she’s been on the latter just one season) and Judy Gold (never heard of her) were tapped to be hosts. Kudos to GSN (IMHO, Bob Eubanks is too good of a game show host to do a show on GSN).

Yeah, I like Kim Coles well enough, but she doesn’t seem like the right type of host for TNG. I’m not familiar with Judy Gold so I can’t vouch for her, though TDG doesn’t really call for a particular type of host. I don’t really have high expectations for these revivals, especially since I’m not much of a NG/DG fan to begin with.

This could get interesting. I am all for more equality and all. I can’t wait to see how this turns out. I like Kim Coles, but this is again an interesting choice for The Newlywed Game. I hope she gets some advice from Bob Eubanks. Vice versa for Judy Gold, I hope she gets it from Jim Lange.
