MoTown 11-02-2006, 04:17 PM Did you just say you can do better than the Hoff?
Glenn 11-02-2006, 04:18 PM No disrespect.
(sorry I left that off)
Glenn 11-02-2006, 04:20 PM Is Gene Rayburn still alive?
What about CNR?
Bah, I bet they want a younger, "fresh face" for the housewives to get excited about.
Larry King?

They should just shut the show down. Ever seen some of the foreign TPIR clips? Its just not right. Not that I watch it much, but I wouldnt even bother with a diff host.
how has Adam Sandler not been mentioned yet??? people will be on the edge of their seats, waiting for a "THE PRICE IS WRONG, BITCH!!" moment.

Apparantly I was wrong, I can totally go for that.
Uncle Mxy 11-03-2006, 07:12 AM Mark Cuban or Charles Barkley
Bill Murray should do it just for like a month.
1) Because it'd be great
2) Because you can't just throw someone new in there and expect to have him not catch resentment and turn off viewers. Murray would give the public a wonderful transition period.
3) Because it'd be great.
WTFchris 11-03-2006, 09:51 AM People are pining for good old Chuck Wollery, but he's pretty old already. It better not be Bob Saget, Marc Sommers or any other crappy game show type hosts (I realize bob wasn't a game show host, but AFHV was close).
WTFchris 11-03-2006, 09:55 AM What about Ozzy?
One of my favorite show hosts is the Mike from dirty jobs. he's got the charisma to draw the ladies, but he seems like the type that would want a manlier job than that.

gusman 11-03-2006, 11:12 AM It will be interesting to see what age person they select and if the audience is only loyal to barker. Barker doesn't really do or say anything special, he likes to yell at people who take too long with their game. I am just so use to the the guy and richard karn has already done the family fued so not sure about him. Give me David Spade
