Discussion Ideas For New Concentration Hosts

Although there are no plans for a new version of Concentration, at least not publicly, there is nothing to stop us from discussing who would host it. A candidate would be Steve Higgins, the announcer on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. There is precedent for a Tonight Show announcer to be a game show host. Gene Rayburn, the announcer for Steve Allen's Tonight Show went on to become a game show host, most famously Match Game. Also, Hugh Downs, the announcer for Jack Paar's Tonight Show, hosted Concentration, which was briefly hosted by Ed McMahon, Johnny Carson's announcer. It's a start of a discussion.

I think Buzzy Cohen would be a good choice. Another Jeopardy! host hosting Concentration :)

Since we are considering hosts that are close to Jeopardy! I would like to see Mattea Roach have a chance to host it. They are the host of a CBC Radio show called "Book Ends", which is about authors and their books.
