In the 1980s, game show host Jim Lange, known for hosting "The Dating Game," faced personal struggles that led to a tragic end. However, it was actually his predecessor, the host of "The Hollywood Squares," Paul Lynde, who was rumored to have battled depression and substance abuse. While neither of them committed suicide, it’s important to clarify that there were other public figures during that era who faced similar fates, such as comedian and actor Freddie Prinze in 1977, who died by suicide.
