I used to love game shows but I rarely watch them anymore because they have celebrity hosts and even celebrity producers who need to get their name and face out there too for some reason.
I agree that game shows and celebrity hosts need to separate themselves. I'm guessing that the producers go with celebrities in order to drive initial viewers with a recognizable name. The only "celebrity" host that I think does a decent job is Riggle on Holey Moley.
