Wink Martindale, one of TV’s most beloved game show hosts whose name became virtually synonymous with the profession, died Tuesday in Rancho Mirage, CA. He was 91.

His death was announced by a spokesperson for Martindale’s family. No cause was given, but the statement said the host of such classic game shows as Tic-Tac-Dough, High Rollers and Gambit as part of a 74-year career in radio and television was “surrounded by family and his beloved wife of 49 years, Sandra Martindale.”
