Soooo, someone in their 20s or 30s hosting a cable show. Male, last name starts with H. Not a reality show, nor a competition, nor sports, and not known for comedy. I don’t watch fishing shows, or many cooking/food-related shows, nor gambling, nor what’s in the warehouse shows. It’s not Comic Book Men. Hmmm…

Not talking about a Property Brother (though I was talking about a Pawn Star). As you did not state a name on 1, would you care to try again, or should I take a DQ?

By “Not on broadcast TV,” this would be someone on cable? I don’t know any of the news anchors on CNN, Weather Channel, etc.
