		Richard Dawson's hosting style was very unusual: for example, he almost always kissed the female players, and gave some of the women and their children lollipops from a special "lollipop tree" (introduced in the middle of the 1982-83 season) at the end of each family podium.
		At the end of the 1993-1994 season, Combs was replaced by Richard Dawson in an effort to boost the syndicated version's declining ratings.

	Too much class (Metro Times Detroit) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Richard Dawson had already made a name for himself on the ludicrous “Hogan’s Heroes.” Before contract disputes soured his mood in the last years of “Match Game,” Dawson delighted to no end.
		Miller goes on to argue that Dawson possesses an unusual and unhealthy sway over the contestants — they know how sophisticated he is, they know the potential bite of his silver tongue and they will do anything to prevent his ire, including permitting the obligatory kisses of their womenfolk.
		Miller wrongly assumes that Dawson’s sangfroid is akin to the cheap irony of Letterman and Carson; for him, Dawson is a bullying arbiter of televisual cool, at once indulging and mocking the unhip enthusiasm of the contestants.

		Richard Dawson was irritable, but always in a funny way, and was, I think, one of the best gameshow hosts around, always quick to mock contestants and enforce the rules.
		Richard Dawson was great during the original version, and I thought Ray Combs was great to and as good of a replacement as you were going to get.
		Richard Dawson was a great host and my favorite of the series, but he always took too long blabbing with contestants and especially at the end of his run, started mumbling a lot.

		Richard Dawson lip-kissed just about every female contestant on the show, multiple times, every episode.
		But I can't generally bring myself to watch the reruns of the Richard Dawson show on the The Game Show network, even though I watched it avidly as a kid, because I cringe too much every time he gropes the players.
		There was one woman that, when Dawson came around to talk to each of the players, kissed him once for some friend of hers, once for some other friend of hers, and once again for herself.

		Yes, Richard Dawson's departure hurt the show; part of the genius of this great program was having three regulars and three guest panelists, assuring every time you'd watch there would be both novelty and familiarity.
		Richard Dawson may have become more withdrawn in his last months on the show in 1978, but at least he still rooted the contestants on with his traditional crossing of the fingers.
		Richard was great until he got Family Feud and it was then painfully obvious he felt the show was beneath him.

		Dawson follows fellow off-spinners Graeme Swann (1999 to South Africa) and Jason Brown (2001 to Sri Lanka) into an England tour party after playing just 10 first-class games.
		But he contributed 30 wickets in nine games to Yorkshire's first County Championship success for 33 years and hopes are high that he will rise to the challenge of bowling in the sub-continent, where the only spinners to thrive are those of genuine ability.
		India was seen as the ideal environment to continue his cricketing education and he responded by taking a creditable six wickets in the series, including a four-wicket haul on debut.

		I think one major reason Richard didn't appear on G-T Game Shows from the late 70's on is that he had started making a "reputation" for himself in the company demonstrated by his tyrant behavior on Feud and his indifference on Match Game.
		They asked Dawson to be on it, but he refused, unless he was the only person on it.

		A silk shirt in an empty English cupboard, Richard Dawson helped bowl Yorkshire to their first Championship since 1968, and at just 21 was chosen for England's 2001-02 tours to India and New Zealand.
		An accurate, attacking bowler with a dainty, high-stepping action reminiscent of Peter Such, Dawson flights the ball well, and extracts plenty of turn, grips the turf and uses his height to conjure some hearty bounce.
		Handy in the outfield as well, he is multi-dimensional enough to make more of a mark than England's last two wet-nursed offspinners, Jason Brown and Graeme Swann, and in 2004, he was named in England's 30-man pool of players for that season's Champions Trophy.

		This link to a Richard Dawson fan page describes what he did as a common practice of the times.
		That notwithstanding, I've heard that his penchant for kissing all the female contestants did in fact raise the ire of many fans--but the one page I've found that gave any specifics pointed out that he got the worst flack over kissing fl contestants.
		Of course, I love Richard Dawson ever since he was in The Running Man. It's amazing how differently I look at him now after seeing him in that after only ever seeing him on the Feud or Hogan's Heroes.
