Robert Kuehl "Bob" Goen (born December 1, 1954) is an American game show emcee and television personality, best known for his work on Entertainment Tonight between 1993 and 2004. He hosted GSN Radio, an internet radio game show, with his wife Marianne Curan.
Goen was born in Long Beach, California, but was raised in Los Angeles's suburb of Lakewood, California. In a 2009 interview at the Game Show Awards Red Carpet, he stated when he was 5, he always dreamed of becoming a game show host, with the encouragement of: Bob Barker, Bill Cullen, Bob Eubanks, Tom Kennedy, Geoff Edwards, Wink Martindale, Monty Hall, among many others, and his dream came true as a young adult. Goen graduated from Lakewood High School in 1972, and from San Diego State University in 1976 with a degree in telecommunications and film. In 1977, he used his college radio experience to land a part-time job at KFOX radio in his native Long Beach, which led to his first full-time job as a disc jockey/producer for KPRO in Riverside, where he was promoted to work as a director. In 1981, he came to television, becoming a sports anchor at KESQ-TV, the ABC affiliate in Palm Springs.

When is a game show not a game show? When the disclaimer at the end of the show tells us the show is for entertainment and educational purposes only, and that the prizes mentioned were not actually awarded. That said, here's part 1 of Bob Goen hosting "Beat The I.R.S.", from 1985. John Harlan is the announcer.
(c)1989 CBS Corporation Part of the CBS anti-drug campaign (Stop the Madness); this version features Bob Goen; who had just joined as host of the original daytime edition of Wheel of Fortune (which had just moved to CBS from NBC). Goen had been brought on to replace Rolf Benirschke, the former San Diego Chargers placekicker who ended up CLEARLY in over his head replacing Pat Sajak following Sajak trying his hand out on late nights (while retaining his role on the surviving syndicated version); this, along with the CBS decision to adopt the nighttime edition's all-cash format...only to slash the cash values in half, helped hasten the daytime version's 1991 demise. Goen would later join the Entertainment Tonight crew in 1993; replacing longtime host John Tesh upon his departure in 199...

Staring down the walls, with your empty hands
Never forced you to feel anything
Stealing back the time and all the innocence of everything
Has finally made you see:it's finally made you believe
We seem fortunate for pain
And stale goodnights
I've been sitting here thinking for days
So fortunate for change
Wrapped around the nights, with all your emptiness
You'll see the face you believe in anyway
Giving back the time and all the innocence of everything
Has finally made you see...it's finally made you believe
That we're fortunate for pain
With the stale goodnights
I've been sitting here thinking for days
We're fortunate for pain
Stale goodnights
Fortunate for change
You're always bringing me down
You're bringing me down
Ending all the pain of never being here
Has finally forced you to feel for a change
Giving back the walls with your empty hands
