Rules

1. You may vote up to 4 entries that fit the prompt.
2. No alts.
3. No deleting or editing posts; though, editing posts shortly after you post is fine.
4. If you change your vote, clearly indicate that you are changing a previous vote. Same for adding or subtracting picks.
5. In general, if there are two picks that can be considered the same product (i.e. Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle), I will combine them.
6. If a vote is vague, I will pick the first available choice that best matches the vote (i.e. "Mario" for Wii Games becomes Super Mario Galaxy).
7. I will post the parameters of each Rushmore topic. Other than that, feel free to vote however you like and based on any criteria that best fits the "Mount Rushmore" of that topic.
8. If a vote doesn't fit the topic, it will count as a blank vote.
9. You may nominate as much as you want and have an unlimited amount of seconds for established nominations.
10. Every Sunday, I'll post the schedule for next week. I will pick based on the number of nominations. Any ties will be determined by RNG.

I'm pretty sure pop tart is not a tart. But alas, it gets on.

I appreciate the votes for the other definition of tart. Except the one that nominated my mom.

You must choose hosts of game shows.

Game shows are defined as any TV show where people can win rewards of any sort through competition or scoring.

Hosts are defined as the individual who runs the game show on-screen. People who are often shown on-screen but not necessarily the main person asking questions or talking to the people may be considered too.

Guest hosts or short-lived hosts are acceptable.

The first two are indisputable, and anyone (especially if they're from the US or Canada) saying otherwise should be disregarded. There are about eight choices for the last two, but I picked the one that hosted one show for over 40 years and the one who had an impact in both the US and the UK.

The three Americans there are the ones that transcended the show beyond just beyond good at their jobs and got a more worldwide fame. Could also have gone for Bob.

Oh hang on, is Taskmaster a Game Show?

Because Greg Davies absolutely replaces Anne Robinson if so

I originally had Pat Sajak instead of Steve Harvey. However, since getting a new host, Wheel of Fortune hasn't really changed that much. Family Feud with Steve Harvey is very different from without him, and he's been on it for a long time at this point.

I'd agree she's more iconic to Wheel of Fortune than Pat, but I'm not sure I'd call her a host. More like a supporting host.

Game shows are defined as any TV show where people can win rewards of any sort through competition or scoring

Id argue itd be silly not to include Probst or Keoghan. Theyre quite legendary.
