Taking a quick perusal of the Game Show Network lineup, whatever pool of
generic game show hosts there was dried up and/or retired long ago. That said,
the actors serving as hosts of GSN programs lack the name recognition to get a
meeting for an ABC summer game show.

As far as the next host, it's not going to be Olbermann for the same reason
it's not going to be, say, Sean Hannity: too much baggage. I don't know if
there's the same sort of pool now of generic game show hosts that there was
when Merv chose Trebek for the syndicated version, but it would be easy to
imagine the producers wanting to go in that direction. The game remains the
star, so there's no reason to bring in a big name.
