What is a game show host salary?

Answer 1

There are only a few Game Shows seen by many viewers than command high salaries. Most game show hosts are on cable channels like GSN and do not make salaries that are high and the prizes are also not very high. A Hit like the cancelled Prime time Who wants to be a Millionaire pays much better than the show that took it's place when it was no longer on Prime time with Regis. The rating on a show like The Price is Right are not comparable with shows like Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy or some of the Prime time hit game shows. Ratings determine the income of a show and just what they can afford to pay there host.
