Couldn't decide whether this would better fit in the Game show Community / Game Show Fandom thread, I could see it having some crossover appeal.
Christopher Barret's Game Shows
An autistic late-20s guy who loves American syndicated TV game shows like The Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! and makes videos on Youtube where he hosts episodes of various play-at-home and video game editions of those game shows, often with his toys as faux contestants. His output is probably his most outstanding characteristic. I mean, the guy has over 5,000 uploads to date (some "episodes" are broken into three videos, so it inflates the numbers, but its still quite a lot) These episodes are all subdivided into entire seasons for each game edition of each show, since he began uploading in September, 2021, making for a pretty extensive playlist.
He announces the games and voices the "contestants", with occasional soundboard effects, except when he is playing the video game versions -which is sadly what he mostly does now. He doesn't do any narrating over the video games, just allowing the game's audio to play though a capture card, so they are far less interesting. He seems to mix in other youtube commenters/subs(?) as his contestants for his video game versions, well the ones that aren't Z-List celebrities (like former Price is Right prize girls, Mario voice talents, or the local NBC affiliate's weather girl) anyway. It's kind of strange the guy has as many subs as he does: over 2,000! You'd think a channel like this would be pretty obscure, but some of these videos get tens of thousands of views, so maybe he occasionally hits the algorithm lottery because of his Nintendo character usage and the bots rush in? He also has habit of scheduling lots of videos to go live at weird times. There's probably dozens of videos scheduled to go live forming entire future seasons four months out.
There's probably not a ton of laughs to be found here, it's a gulf of content wider than it is deep. Straightforward, but competent in a barebones earnest sort of way, and he commits to the bit. The guy honestly tries to be like the host of these game shows just as they are done on television; most of the laughs I got were from his pronunciation errors. I don't think I've heard him pronounce "fabulous" correctly a single time, which would be important to do if you were trying to introduce "THE FABULOUS PRICE IS RIGHT!"
