Is a GameShow getting a new host really an example? It\'s not like anyone\'s pretending it\'s the same \
to:
Pulled this:
* \\\'\\\'ThePriceIsRight\\\'\\\', having been in production consistently since 1972, has outlived \\\'\\\'two\\\'\\\' announcers (Johnny Olson and Rod Roddy); following both men\\\'s deaths, a rotation of substitutes announced the show until a successor was picked among the substitutes. The third non-substitute announcer, Rich Fields, was fired in 2010 and he, too, will have a succession of sub-announcers until a permanent successor is picked Incidentally, both of the men who announced the 1950s version (Don Pardo and Johnny Gilbert) are still alive, and Gilbert is still active announcing \\\'\\\'[=~Jeopardy!~=]\\\'\\\'.
** There\\\'s also the fact that Bob Barker held onto the hosting position well into his eighties before Drew Carey took over.
* Similarly, \\\'\\\'WheelOfFortune\\\'\\\' has had changeover in all three typical game show roles (host, announcer, model):
** Host Chuck Woolery left the show in 1981, and Pat Sajak replaced him. After a nighttime version of the show began in 1983, Sajak pulled double-duty until he abandoned the morning version for a TalkShow in 1989. The morning version was handed over to Rolf Benirschke and then Bob Goen before limping its way into 1992. Sajak has held down the nighttime version for its entire run.
** Charlie O\\\'Donnell announced the show from 1975 until the early 1980s, when Jack Clark took over. After Clark\\\'s mid-1988 death, he was replaced by M. G. Kelly until early 1989, when Kelly was replaced by ...Charlie O\\\'Donnell, who still announces the show to this day.
** Susan Stafford, the original letter-turner, left a few months after Pat took over. After a rotation of substitutes, [[TheVanna Vanna White]] was picked, and her popularity has made her iconic of game show models as a whole.
because I don\\\'t think they\\\'re examples of the trope; no-one tried to pretend it was the same \\\"character\\\", did they?
