Bob Eubanks Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Eubanks received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame because of his television work in 2000. The star is in front of Grauman’s Egyptian Theatre, where Eubanks worked during the initial years of his broadcasting career. In 2005, he received a lifetime achievement Emmy award in the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. During its introduction, it was an instant success, as well as the show’s popularity led the network to enlarge the primetime lineup, where it’d run on the air for five years. Just 28 years old when he began hosting, Eubanks became widely popular for bringing a youthful energy to daytime television, pressing contestants into giving awkward and hilarious solutions. Exactly the same year, he also signed Merle Haggard to an exclusive live-performance contract, producing over 100 dates per year together with the performer for nearly a decade. His first end of his first-run network TV show, The Newlywed Game, finished in 1974, after 2,195 episodes, making Eubanks one of the most precious and bankable game show hosts to date. He also hosted various versions in syndication, from 1977–80, 1985–88 and 1997 99. In springtime 2010, Eubanks hosted another episode of The Newlywed Game, subtitled the “Game Show Kings” episode. This episode featured Monty Hall and his wife Marilyn Hall, Peter Marshall and his wife Laurie Stewart, and Wink Martindale along with his wife Sandy Martindale. This makes him the only man to host the identical game show in six distinct successive decades (1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s).

| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | I was a smart-ass, snot-nosed kid. I walked with a certain swagger and style that was different from the typical hosts at the time. I was young and into rock and roll. Times were changing and the networks wanted their game shows to push the envelope more, which I was willing to do. |
| 2 | There are a lot of dogs in the game show business, and I've hosted my fair share of them. Sometimes you have to put your ego aside and say yes, even when you know it's going to be a disaster. One show in particular, The Diamond Head Game, was such a piece of you know what. They took a poorly designed game, shot it in Hawaii, and thought it a good idea. I hated every minute of hosting it. Luckily, it didn't hurt my career. |
| 3 | Bill (Cullen) took me under his wing and helped me develop my own voice as a host. He was always warm and treated me with respect. What you saw on TV, he was like that in real life as well. A sly sense of humor, very intelligent, made anyone feel like the most important person in the room. A wonderful mentor who I continue to miss today. |
| 4 | Chuck Barris was a genius. Crazy, no doubt, but a genius. He never took his shows too seriously because he knew game shows were a silly genre, but at the same time he knew the right mix of creativity and insanity to make them ratings hits. He was one of the true renegades in the business. |
