Some TV Game Shows That Tickle My Gay Sensibilities
Although my viewing of game shows is limited to the times when I'm visiting my mother, I find them mildly entertaining, especially The Price Is Right, Jeopardy, Let's Make a Deal and Wheel of Fortune. Perhaps it's because they serve up a steady diet of eye candy, whether it's the on-screen "talent" or the contestants. It's a very different viewing environment from when I was a child. Unlike the boyhood crushes I had on some of the actors from shows in primetime, hosts of game shows in the '60s and '70s were a rather bland lot, such as Jeopardy's Art Fleming, Dick Clark from The $20,000 Pyramid, Hugh Downs from Concentration, or The Match Game's Gene Rayburn. (Let's Make a Deal's Monty Hall was the closest to being a bit cute.)
So what is it about the game shows I watch, that arouse my gay sensibilities? Read on ...
LET'S MAKE A DEAL - Of the four shows, Deal's host Wayne Brady is the sexiest; and in the summer of 2023 he came out as pansexual. As for the rest of the show, I have no interest.
THE PRICE IS RIGHT - In the fall of 2012 the show began featuring male showcase models. The ones I've seen are Rob, James and Devin. Occasionally they appear bare chested, but even fully clothed they're a pleasure to ogle. I also like host Drew Carey, who's good-natured and cute in a stocky way, a LEGO™ character come to life. I'm also dazzled by the colorful sets. Lastly, the show has a lot of cute male contestants as well, some who are busting out of their t-shirts as they jump around. And it's not uncommon to hear them shouting out to boyfriends and husbands. (And when this is happening on a show as main stream as this, there's no going back.)
JEOPARDY - Has had its shares of gay contestants (or brainy types that give off a gay vibe), but they're usually not dressed that well, and can be a bit full of themselves (this applies to the straight contestants as well). And despite aging, its late host Alex Trebek always possessed a bit of sex appeal (although, befitting a show that celebrates book knowledge, he was on the aloof side). Then in 2025, the gay-vibe was ramped up by the appearance of telegenic Drew Goins.
WHEEL OF FORTUNE - This one used to be all about Vanna. Letter-turner Vanna White is somewhat of a campy delight in her Cher-like gowns - and still looks amazing after nearly 40 years on the job. Additionally, in episodes I watched in 2019, three contestants were members of San Francisco's Gay Men's Chorus, and in the past few years, a number of gay school principals have been contestants. Then at the beginning of the 2024-25 season, the gay vibe changed as Ryan Seacrest (he of the "is he, or isn't he?" sexual orientation) replaced straight-laced Pat Sajak as the show's host.
