You may not know the name Mayra Gomez Kemp, but she was a genuine TV trailblazer with a unique connection to Wheel Of Fortune. Gomez Kemp, who died at 76 on October 13, was, per Pop Culture, “the first woman in the world to host a game show….” She eventually hosted Spain’s edition of Wheel OF Fortune. It was called La ruleta de la fortuna. Gomez Kemp was also a singer and an actress. What an accomplished person!Hosting a game show is no easy feat. You have to be on your toes every minute, be able to lightly banter with contestants, keep things moving and lively, consistently bring in impressive ratings, and hopefully become a beloved figure like the late Alex Trebek of Jeopardy or the retired Pat Sajak of Wheel. That is a hefty agenda.
