Share

Today Donald Trump, sedated in his office and waiting to be taken away, has added names to his fictitious Garden of American Heroes.

But he’s included only one game show host, Alex Trebek, of “Jeopardy!”

By doing so, Trump has snubbed a long list of beloved television personalities including Hugh Downs, Gene Rayburn, Peter Marshall (still living), Monte Hall, Wink Martindale, Richard Dawson, Peter Tomarken, Art Fleming, Jack Narz, the guys from “The Dating Game” and “The Newlywed Game,” and most beloved Allen Ludden, husband of Betty White.

He’s also bypassed the legends like Bud Collier, Garry Moore, John Daly, and so on who paved the way for those above. And what about Merv Griffin? Come on!

Tsk,tsk, Donald. What about a garden just for game show hosts?
