Love it, love it. The whole “…for me to poop on” line would lose its punch after a while. Watching Triumph struggle through the spayed and neutered lines would also get bland after the first week.

Bob has nothing on Triumph. While Bob may have done some inappropriate touching, Triumph has a guy’s hand up his butt.

Mike,

Don’t forget Triumph the Insult Comic Dog!

I think the Powers That Be are missing the whole point: they should be finding a capable, charismatic person who can keep the show going for years to come - yet instead they’re practically drawing names out of a hat and tossing out big names to keep us talking. It’s getting insane!

A Tampa radio host put one of my top picks into perspective, have a look at this video to see what I mean:

Andy,

Can you stop with the damn hypothesizing about who’ll replace Barker? Every idea you’ve had has been ridiculous. I’ll help you get it out of your system–Billy Bush, Judge Joe Brown, Michael Bloomberg, your 8th grade art teacher, Lassie, Thomas Jefferson, the tooth fairy. There. Now you don’t have to randomly throw out idiotic names for TPiR hosts ever again.

Check out ‘Millonare’ guest host Tim Vincent. He might become another contender.

Wait and see how Drew Carey does with “Power of 10″. I’m not sure if we want to Drew Carey doing two gameshows.

Drew Carey strikes me as a bit too ego-centric and laid-back to host a true game show, IMHO, especially one as contestant-oriented and rigidly structured as Price. Then again, that’s based solely on his hosting of “Whose Line is it Anyway?” so it may be inaccurate–I guess we’ll wait and see how he does on “Power of 10.”

As for Ziering…well, I know virtually nothing about him, but perhaps it would mean the return of his wife Nikki as a model?

So Drew is in the running now. Well, I can’t complain about this rumor. :D

From the beginning of all this, Drew Carey was one of my “sorta out in left field, but could definitely do it” candidates, and I’m happy to hear he is being considered. He has prior TV experience both in and out of game shows, the right demeanor and personality to interact with contestants, and the ability to play up drama when needed.

He also, I think, has the name recognition and established fanbase that would have viewers continue to tune in to TPIR, and not cause a literal “fallout” at the start of next season, which most people are predicting will happen…

I can also see Drew hosting TPiR. The power of 10 is a CBS show right? Ian not so much.

This is in response to Steve. I saw that same thing. I laughed a bit at that as well.

So we got all upset over nothing? I’m glad that was just a joke.
