Geoff Edwards, RIP

[Mod City]

Actor, radio personality and game show host. Interesting guy, and a likeable host.

But here is where I knew him from. He's regarded as the best of two hosts of Starcade, the old arcade competition game show on WTBS circa 1982/83. For a little 80s goodness:



Rest well, sir.

I remember him from Treasure Hunt with it's wonderful mountain of prizes. RIP.

Tough couple of weeks for the endangered old game show hosts as this follows on the heels of Jim Lange's death.

The New Treasure Hunt is what I remember Edwards hosting. I believe the gentleman that ended up hosting the early 2000s GSN show Inquizition was the 'security bondsman' from Treasure Hunt. The voice sounds amazingly alike.
