Okay, so I'm watching another episode of Adventures in Wonderland - Game Shows People Play. The host of the game show played in the episode? Pat Sajak.
So... Anyone else got something?

Alex Trebek guest-starred in an episode of Rugrats in 1992 or 93 as Alex Quebec, the host of a show called Super Stumpers. I think Pat Sajak was also in an episode.
Bob Barker and Drew Carey both lent their voices to portrayals of them in Family Guy.

Mark L Walberg appeared in a movie called I Want To Marry Ryan Banks as the host of a dating show and Mark L Walberg is fabulous in the movie and when I first saw this movie I never knew Mark L Walberg was also a wonderful actor, Kelsey

The only thing that I can think of is the time I saw the host of the Canadian Match Game, Darrin Rose, in some commercial that I presume was local for whatever affiliate I was watching at the time.

Chuck Woolery can be found as the spokesman for Australian Dream cream and is so cool in the commercials. Another game show host that's also in commercials is Regis Philbin and he appeared in 1992 in a commercial for Nabisco Harvest Wheat crackers with his wife Joy. And finally Wayne Brady appeared in a commercial for International Delight coffee creamer singing a parody of Dionne Warwck's song I Say A Little Prayer and is such a nice commercial. It's always fun to see our favorite game show hosts in commercials having fun and getting their big breaks, What other game show hosts can you spot in commercials?, Kelsey

Dick Clark did several commercials for Dairy Queen, and for outlets like Columbia House, which used to provide classic rock compliations.
Wink Martindale had a guest role on Dave's World (clip uploaded by Wink himself).

I'm surprised nobody brought this up yet...
Bob Barker's appearance in the infamous fight scene in Happy Gilmore. This was the only time I ever heard Bob Barker swear in any form, and I couldn't believe it.
Bob Barker also appeared on a CBS sitcom during the 2006-2007 season, if I recall - was it How I Met Your Mother? And I heard that there was a blonde model that appeared - it probably wasn't Shane, as she was on maternity leave, unless the episode was taped much earlier. Or was it Rachel or Gabrielle?
Jim Perry of Card Sharks and $ale of the Century fame also appeared in a commercial for salt back in the 1970s, if I recall (probably when he was hosting Definition in Canada at that time).
Richard Dawson even appeared on two kids' shows back in the day. He appeared in New Zoo Revue, and later his most noted appearance on a kids' show, the "Family Food" segment on Sesame Street.
Regis Philbin, the original host of Millionaire, made a guest appearance on the police drama CHiPs - the "Disaster Squad" episode from 1978, if I recall.
I believe Dick Clark of Pyramid fame played his own role in animated form on the short-lived Fantastic Four cartoon series in 1994.
The night before Dick Clark started his gig on The New $25,000 Pyramid on CBS, he also hosted the Pac Preview Party on September 19, 1982 on ABC - a prime time broadcast that showcased some of the new additions to the Saturday morning lineup debuting the following Saturday, including a new cartoon remake of The Little Rascals, along with Mork & Mindy and most notably Pac-Man. Most of the cartoons that debuted in 1982 ended up getting low ratings, and all but one lasted two seasons max.

Wasn't that the episode where the Red Queen played in a spelling game show with The Mad Hatter and Alice? I used to love to watch Adventures In Wonderland when I was young and I remember that episode very well and I didn't know Pat Sajak played the host, Kelsey

Last night you'll never guess what I saw? An episode of 227 starring a very famous star in the game show world. And the star featured in 227 was Chuck Woolery and he appears when the character Sandra went on Love Connection and it is such a funny episode and is the third game show themed episode of 227 starting with the following episodes and game show hosts that made appearances in 227's seasons, 1. Wheel Of Misfortune {1986} Guest starring Pat Sajak, 2. Sandra And The Survey {1988} Featuring the late Ray Combs, 3. The Matchmaker {1989} Starring Chuck Woolery, To be honest I didn't even know that episode was gonna be on until I told Dad that I wanted to see this episode of 227 and seeing Chuck Woolery on 227 was really awesome, If you haven't seen this episode of 227 check it out when you can, Kelsey

In 1985 a very young Alfonso Ribeiro had an infomercial where he advertised his very own book called Alfonso's Rocking and Bopping where he taught young kids all sorts of popular 80's dances such as the Moonwalk and many other dances were featured too and it also had it's own dance mat and hip-hop record. Who would've thought Alfonso would be the star of his own dancing book before he went on to Catch-21, Kelsey

On an episode of Friends {At the time of the game show's popularity} Donny Osmond appeared as the host of Pyramid when Joey {Matt LeBlanc} gets a chance to appear as a featured celebrity guest on Pyramid. If you haven't seen this episode be sure to catch it when you can because it's funny., Kelsey
