I know that he brought the show back to TV. I even will give it to him that he appeared as a celebrity on the premier show.
But now - he's been on every Password show since. His over the top jumping around; yelling when he wins; and mugging for the camera every chance he gets - has gotten to be too much.
As such - he's ruining the show. He's not funny. He's getting pathetic. It's like he's got to be the focus of the show. But the game itself should be the focus.
I like the show - but he should give it up as a guest celebrity and every show they should have two different celebrities give and take the passwords.
They should take the lead from the show $100,000 Pyramid.
Jimmy Fallon has got to go.

Password was dumbed-down a bit for the 80's reboot (reruns can be seen on Prime), then totally lost the magic when Alan Ludden died. Sounds like it's been dumbed-down to the max for 2022 like everything else: most film, sports, politics, news. etc.
Just what is the appeal with Fallon? Kimmel and Colbert smoke him every night. He makes the Tonight Show is unwatchable.
