Without Bob Barker, should TPiR go on?
 

If a replacement host was found for Bob Barker on TPiR, would you even bother to tune in? How good/great would his replacement have to be for you to even consider watching? I'm considering not watching if they don't cancel it sometime between now and Sept., TBH

Won't ever be the same. I say end it.

I stopped watchin when I was 10.

End it

It'ssssssssssss a brand new carrrrrrrr!!!!

They have tried out new hosts when Bob gets sick or takes a break and it just isn't the same. It shouldn't continue, but it will until it falls flat on its face.

It would depend on who they select. I mean if the rumors are true and Rosie O'Donnell becomes host, then HELL NO I wouldn't watch. I guess we will have to wait and see first.

I heard Mario Lopez was going to take over.

I heard way back John O'Hurley was a possibility. If Rosie O'Donnell gets it, just send it over to GSN.

Todd Newton was a rumored possibility. That would be good, he does a good job (did on Whammy).

Chuck Woolery

yes

*WARNING: GAME SHOW NUT ENTERING THREAD*

Mario Lopez turned it down.

Chuck Woolery's very comfortable doing Lingo. (Read: fondling Shandi Finnessey every day)

Dave Price (the weatherman on the Early Show) was supposedly the heir apparent, but his audition sucked so bad that it left the network scrambling.

At one point, they had announced a top three: Todd Newton, George Hamilton, and Mark Steines (Entertainment Tonight guy), but now they're doing more auditions, including John O'Hurley.

If it were up to me, I'd have it down to two by now: Newton and Marc Summers. Marc's been hosting a live stage version of TPiR at a Harrah's casino, I think in Atlantic City, and supposedly is doing a hell of a job.

In answer to DAMNiNATOR's question, yeah, keep it going, as long as they don't choose an incompetent as hell host.

Apparently Bil Dwyer had an audition, also.

Marc Summers would be incredible.

What, Marc Summers???? That would be the best thing ever.

Holy shit yes Marc Summers :love:

If Marc Summers hosted TPiR, that would be the cleanest set EVER for him.

I don't watch now, but I don't see why Bob Barker leaving should change anything.

Will Farrel

Booker T

The word is that Rosie wants to be the new host.

marc would be awesome as the new host. apparently the chick who i went to my junior prom with was on what would you do?, and her whole family swore by it. i never seen the tape of it though.

Carlos Mencia

Marc Summers would be awesome. But isn't his show on Food Network still going? Or did that get axed?

Unwrapped is still on.

Marc Summers is the only person who would work. END OF DISCUSSION

Actually, what about that black guy from Nick Arcade?

or the guy who hosted "Legends Of The Hidden Temple"...

Phil Moore

Kirk Fog

Or Olmec if you're talking about the giant rock.

lol, Olmec as the host of The Price Is Right

Also my friend was on Double Dare.

Olmec would be AMAZING.

OLMEC: "Is the actual retail price higher or lower than $25,386?"

I was addicted to Legends of the Hidden Temple as a kid.

I dreamed of being a Silver Snake.

WHO IS YOUR DADDY!?!?!?

I watch Legends of the Hidden Temple all the time when I'm stoned.

The choices are yours, and yours alone. WHO'S GOING FIRST?

I AM.

VERY WELL, JASON.

:lol:

Seriously, he would be awesome for TPiR :D

I'd :lol: at Rich Fields introducing Olmec at the beginning of the show.

I'd take Olmec before Rosie O'Donnel as host.

I feel depressed after looking up all this stuff on old shows I used to be addicted too. I found episodes of "The Angry Beavers", "Clarissa Explains It All", "Pete & Pete", "Rocko's Modern Life",and "AAAAAH! Real Monsters" on Demonoid though. :love::love::love:

Search The Angry Beavers or Nickelodeon.

OLMEC: The Lost Corpse of the ’57 Chevy can be found in the (high-pitched yell) Shriiine (normal speech) of the Si--...oh, wait...wrong show! OK, let’s take 5 people, and we’ll wrap up after lunch...

Chuck Norris.

I mean suppose a contestant plays Plinko and they land the plinko chip in the "0" slot, Chuck gives you a roundhouse kick for your poorly played Plinko skills.

Or how about during the Big Wheel and your spind puts you over $1.00, Chuck gives you a going away prize, a left fist to your face.

Id hope to see Summers or O'Hurley get it.

Id rather see it end that for Rosie to get it.

Pretty sure I would only watch if it were one of the following

Phil Moore
Olmec
or Kirk Fogg

lol @ the image of Olmec helping an old woman spin the wheel

They can always hire this guy back:

BEST HOST EVER

There has been an offer tendered by CBS to.....
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...hoseLine04.png

I did hear Drew Carey got offered the spot. I wonder if this means Power of 10 is gonna do a few shows or get canceled quick.

http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?sec...rld&id=5502308

Done deal. Drew's in.

Not a fan of Drew Carrey

Yea just read that Drew Carey is getting the go ahead with the series...

He is supposed to officially announce it tonight on David Letterman.

Wow.

I'd like to hear what Bob Barker says about that.

DREW

:love:

Ehhhhhhhhhhhh.

It could be worse.

What Spilly said.

At least it wasn't Todd Newton or Rosie O'Donnell or some shit.

Tiger Ali Singh at the Royal Rumble: "Drew Curry, who is Drew Curry?"

Damn...

I like Drew Carey, though. As long as they just let him be himself and don't make him into another Bob Barker.

so is it officially announced as him or what


if so i will never watch it again. can't get more annoying then drew.

god it is true. :foc:

Drew is average. I think he will be decent. They could have done better but they could have done worse as well.

I am shocked Boone didnt post a headline that said Former WWF Wrestler becomes new host of Price is Right.

Umm...Rosie, Doug Davison, Pat Finn, Jeff Probst, Ryan Seacrest, that boring as fuck host from the equally boring (and mercifilly cancelled) Pirate Master, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Wesley Eure....


...no, none more annoying than Drew. :roll:

I like Jeff Probst :n:

Well, it looks as though CBS Daytime has officially gone down the shitter...*SIGH*

I guess you don't think like alot of people that he's a fucking moron.

Well perhaps I really don't care that a lot of people think he's a fucking moron. Perhaps he is a fucking moron, I don't know I never met him.

But that's not going to change anything, from what I've seen I kinda like him :n:

Damn, from you continuing to neg rep me over this, you're taking this WAAAAAY too seriously. I never said he wasn't likeable, just that he was sometimes annoying, and is more annoying than Drew Carey (and seeing as how I was able to name a TON of people more annoying than Drew, Jeff was kind of in the majority).

Still, you negging me just proves that you're taking this WAY too hard.

cry about it why don't you :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

IT'S NOT JUST A GAME SHOW BRO, IT'S MY LIFE. You just don't understand this. Every day for 3 years I taped tPiR and watched it as soon as I got home from school. And for you to soil the good name of the man who hosts Survivor. Simply amazing. I just can't deal with this at all right now, I need to take all my feelings out on you with my inegative repuation and make you feel the wrath of STONE COLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd

(way to lazy to spread rep around to G to neg rep you again tho)

Seriously, they've already got him doing that “Power of 10” game show in primetime, which debuts tomorrow night, there CERTAINLY were many better choices than Drew for TPiR.

Power of 10 is probably gonna run a short course.

Well, I checked out the first ep. of Season 36, and let me tell ya, it was the most god-awful ep. of TPiR I’ve ever seen. I mean, yeah, Drew kinda sorta new his shit, but he'd fuck up with some of the game descriptions and he didn't even know how to do the cues for the announcer that well...I have a feeling this could very well be TPiR's death bell tolling in the not too far off future...

I actually enjoyed Drew. Yeah, he slipped up at times, but it was his first show, and he didn't slip up often. His pace was much quicker than Barker (with all due respect to him), and his humor was well planned and he didn't really overshadow any of the contestants by being overbearing, making the contestants more comfortable (I loved that he cracked on the sound effects guide, making the contestant say "oh great sound effects guide"). The set was alot better than it has been lately.

Know some of you guys won't agree with me, but I like the freshness of this modified TPIR.

Was looking at a youtube vid of Drew Carey and it's not horrible. Could be a lot worse. He just needs to settle in basically.

Saw this vid on there though and Bob's reaction at the end is great. I think he mouthed "Are you fucking kidding me?"

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sqk1-q8gXcY"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sqk1-q8gXcY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

I'd fuck her.

</P>
The vid's been taken down but I do recall that moment quite vividly. Another moment is on one of the "Million Dollar Spectacular"s, where something pissed Bob off (I think a contestant was taking too long to make a bid for his/her showcase or something), and he actually reportedly sat on the stage steps until the bid had been made. I seem to recall him being quite bitter about that. *SIGH* MAYBE, just maybe TPiR can struggle through this season but I don't know how much more it's got left in the tank without Bob or without Rod Roddy. Ever since that man's passing, yes, Rich...whatever his name is has done a OK job announcing, but whenever I hear him it makes my ears bleed. If it gets picked up for Season 37, or even makes it through this season without being cancelled, I for one, will be amazed.

I caught an episode with Drew a couple days ago. It's gonna be rough but If I watch it long enough I can probably deal with it. The who set really hurts my eyes. I don't know what they were thinking with the bring colors and the showcase podiums. But this could work. Then again, it might not.
