Richard Dawson's death shocked the world. And while it's a difficult time for all those who grew up watching Dawson, it's hard not to think about some of the memorable moments supplied by the actor/comedian/game show host.

In fact, Dawson's days on Family Feud — which he hosted from 1976–1985 and 1994–1995 — and his tenure on Match Game during the 1970s got us thinking. With so many unique personalities in sports these days, it wouldn't be surprising to see a number of them go on to pursue television careers after their playing days are over.

Sure, there's reality TV opportunities and plenty of analyst roles, but who could truly follow in Dawson's footsteps and become a game show host?

The job requires plenty of personality and creativity, as well as the ability to motivate contestants and captivate the audience. With that in mind, we developed a list of current athletes who we think would thrive in such a role.
