Crosswords is the eagerly awaited new game show from Merv Griffin that premieres in syndication this fall, and they have found their host.
Ty Treadway, a former actor on One Life To Live and a co-host of Soap Talk with Lisa Rinna (who also has a new gig, taking over for Joan and Melissa Rivers at the TV Guide Channel) for several years, is going to host the new word-oriented game show. In explaining the choice, Griffin said that Treadway "exudes the kind of energy that will keep audiences engaged and excited."
Come on, Ty Treadway? Is that his real name? Indeed it is. It sounds like a name of a Simpsons character. Was Guy Smiley not available?

Don't diss Ty Treadway. Die-hard One Life to Live fans will tell you that Ty Treadway was THE REASON to watch it for several years before they stupidly let him go. He also did a decent job on SoapTalk when he was the host. Trust me, Crosswords will have a built-in audience with Treadway as the host.
