In the category of news that basically everyone knows by now but I was really busy yesterday, Al Roker has been announced as the host of NBC’s primetime celebrity run of the hit syndicated game show Family Feud. The announcement was made on Monday’s Today show to make for some nice cross promotion there. John O’Hurley will still host the syndicated run.
The basics of the game appear to be the same. However, thankfully, they won’t stretch one game to an hour. Three games will apparently be played. The winner of game one will face off against the winner of game two in a final match for money. Celebrity teams will consist of a celebrity and his or her family, or perhaps a TV family. However, these celebrities have not been announced yet.
Al’s recently guest hosted Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, that of which he didn’t do badly at, but I always felt he would be more suited for something like this. Of course this does mean we don’t get who I truly feel is the Feud’s best host since Richard Dawson, John O’Hurley. He seems to be very busy though. I can see Roker doing very well though. More specifics of the show will hopefully be announced soon.
Is this the year of Family Feud or what? Let’s look at all the things in its favor.
Does the title seem familiar to you? Yeah it does to me as well. On Monday, 
This just in: GSN has picked up the rights to the incredible John O’Hurley run of Family Feud. The newest seasons of the Feud featuring a FAR superior host compared to Richard Karn will start airing May 5th, Tuesdays through Saturdays, at 9:30PM ET, replacing the dreadful Karn edition.
Instead of creating a different post for each show, let’s just do it all in one.
Our friends at Golden-Road.net have helped us get through a very slow news period: The Price is Right will resume taping on August 15th with new host Drew Carey and the updated set/music as Mike Klauss previously stated. When ticket information is released, we will publish the information. Speaking of which, Drew Carey has stated that they are trying to get the show to travel next season, with New York as a likely destination. I’m at least hoping this one comes true. Making the show more accesable for those who’d rather not spend nights on concrete and spend an assload of money to get to LA can’t hurt at all.
The new logo for Family Feud’s 2007-2008 season was released, and I have to say, it’s really awesome. Much better than whatever the hell they had last season. This retro-looking logo looks back to the wonderful Richard Dawson days which practically everything on the show does currently. Not only that, but this season we’re hearing the furniture in the family portrait area has a new 70s look to it. Also, apparently John O’Hurley is doing even better. I don’t see how he could get that much better since he was incredible last season (except for the damn jumping at the buzzer, which thankfully ended). O’Hurley just might be the best host since Richard Dawson if he keeps this up. I’ve never been a big fan of Ray Combs, so that gap between Combs/O’Hurley is quickly narrowing. I don’t think we’ve ever talked about this; what were your thoughts on last season? While we’re at it, what do you think of this new logo?
