Here is my list:
D.L. Hughley--Funny comic, great delivery on punch lines, but can't act worth jack. Case in point: The Brothers.
Bill Daily (Maj. Healy on I Dream of Jeanne, and pilot Howard Borden on the Bob Newhart show). This man is NOT funny and can't act. Also a regular on Match Game 1979-81. It's as if he literally tries too hard to be funny.
ODB - Sounds like he got his career started at a liquor store. Nuff said.
Charles Cozart - Comedian on Def Comedy Jam (1992). His monotone punchline delivery plus his stale jokes equaled a very lame comic.
No talent game show hosts/announcers:
Patrick Wayne --Tic Tac Dough 1990 (too hyper)
Pat Finn--Shop Til You Drop, Joker's Wild 1990 (Robot style hosting plus trying to get his feel on with the female contestants)
Bill Rafferty--Blockbusters 1987 (too stiff in hosting)
Rich Jeffries--Annoucer of Blockbuster 1980 & '87 (Sounds like Kermit the Frog after drinking a fifth of Hennessey)
Burton Richardson--The Nighttime Price is Right 1994 (Can say Arsenioooooo Hall! but not Come on Down!)
Rolf Benirshke--Wheel of Forture '89--former place kicker for the New England Patriots (Sounds like a nervous teenage boy, and once said at the end of the main game when two contestants were tied that he didn't have a clue what to do at that point. Suggestion: GET OFF MY SET!!!)
More later.
