Lost legends

The legends aren't really lost, just doing other things. I'm talking about the hosts of the late lamented Nickelodeon GAS game shows, including the pictured Kirk Fogg from Legends of the Hidden Temple.

Nick GAS's sad fate is a cautionary tale for its grown-up counterpart, GSN. Luckily, the grown-up game show network has survived and even prospered. Hey, they can pay Drew Carey!

This Flavorwire story tells us what's happened and is happening with five former Nick GAS hosts: Fogg, Double Dare's Marc Summers, Figure It Out's Summer Sanders, Wild and Crazy Kids' Omar Gooding, and Nickelodeon GUTS's Mike O'Malley.

You probably know about O'Malley, who's found work on some show about high school glee-ers. The other folks have bounced around TV's unscripted precincts, ranging from Summer's stint on Celebrity Apprentice to Marc's efforts on the Food Network, plus some scripted gigs.

But Kirk, who's made a lot of commercials and a few movie appearances, gets off the funniest line in the story. He swears that he can remember only one disembowelment by the temple guards on Legends.
