A buddy of mine was on Definition. It was a hoot. Won a mattress and some fake brick panelling.

The best Canadian game show had to have been Mad Dash. Those prizes were epic. And you've just won this lovely....................Cuisinart food processor.

Hehehehe. The pries on Canadian game shows were hilarious.

I thought he also did Password or Super Password.

He had a nice flow as a game show host - RIP

Definition and Headline Hunters were my favourites that he did in Toronto.

I liked Sale of the Century more than Card Sharks of the games he did in the U.S.

So he was Canadian, or just came up here to work? I do remember him.
