He Should Be In The Running, He was a better Price host in the UK. Marc Summers... People know him from Double Dare, might as well make him double known for Price is Right. Rich Fields... He knows how the show runs, plus it could give Burton Richardson a comeback as Announcer. Mario Lopez... LOL Saved By The Bell was over, how long ago? Todd Newton... He is out of the following with "Game Show Personality", the only diffrence is, Game Show Hosts don't need to have "The Wink Personality" to be a Host. Whammy! was a good start for him. Doug Davidson... He reminded me too much of Greg Lee from Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, maybe Greg should host Price if Doug is in the running. John O'Hurley... John O'Hurley is the Vernon Kay of America, he should have hosted Game Show Marathon, but his hosting abilities on Family Feud are overshadowed by Dawson, Combs and Karn. Rosie O'Donnel... In the words of "The Trumpster": "She is a big loser, she will be a loser, and always be a loser". Never will she Host. Besides Bruce Forsyth I have 3 Other GOOD Choices... a-Al Roker. He has the personality of a game show host, so he could host the show perfectly b-Jimmy Pardo Commedian, And Great Entertainer, Love His Personality c-Me Sorry. That Slipped Out. Bruce Foresyth…

I am with the majority here and saying that the replacement that CBS and FREMANTLEMEDIA has up for bids is just not going to cut the show's longitivity. I am very ashamed of CBS for this. You guys are going to be shocked to hear this. I have contacted CBS and FREMANTLEMEDIA about an idea. I would love to audition for the show. I know I could carry on the legacy of Bob Barker and carry on the flames that he laid for the show. I DO NOT WANT THE PRICE IS RIGHT KILLED OFF NOR DO I WANT TO SEE THIS SHOW END. The Price is Right is an Americana Icon in Television History. I thought of an idea, of a reality show for CBS to have a few audition in major markets in the US, Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, Washington DC, have some TPIR FANS audition and see how well they could do the job. Have Bob Barker, Roger Dobkowitz, and a couple executive be the judges in determining who goes on the next round which would be filmed at Studio 33, Bob Barker Studios at CBS Television City. Have an audience and have America Vote for who they believe should be the Next Host of The Price is Right. THE FANS ARE THE BEST ROUTE TO GO IN FINDING A HOST. It certainly isn't going to be those four fools. I can't stand Doug Davidson, he killed TPIR with that stupid new format. I mean come on a range finder for the Showcase. What do you think of America chosing who should be the Host out of Fans of TPIR? Good or Stupid idea. I know the majority would say stupid. Hello everyone.

I think it is hard for you to come to such a conclusion without seeing him host The Price is RIght Live in Las Vegas...which he has been doing for over a year now. So that says something in itself. I have seen the show numerous times there with different hosts....Doug Davidson being one of them (he was embarrassing), and no one has impressed me more than Todd. I think the entire crowd also agrees when they see him in the show. He is the perfect candidate to take over the TPIR. He gets so many compilments after the show and it is obvious that he really enjoys doing this. ALso, Freemantle must see something in him if he has been doing the live version for so long now. I see nothing "fake" about him..he is witty, funny, personable, and flows through the show quite nicely on a day to day to basis. My vote is definately for Todd and I suggest you see the show in Las Vegas if you think otherwise. I am sad to see the negative opinions about Todd.

The show has had the same look, with small color scheme changes, for 35 years. Expect it change when the new host, whoever it might be, takes over. Doug Davidson was handed a dud as his first game show outing. Taking this into account, he did a great job turning nothing into something. The 1994 half-hour nighttime show format made him rush through everything. The hour-long daytime should let him breathe. John O'Hurley's involvement with Family Feud will kill his chances at Price. Fremantle won't want to have the same host on two different shows that may compete with each other in certain markets. Plus, the atmosphere of the two shows are completely different. Unless Price is brought down to Feud design, don't expect O'Hurley to walk through Door 2 any time soon. Todd Newton is not broadcast network material, observe his prize delivery segments on Gameshow Marathon. He is an actor, pure and simple. I've seen Hollywood Showdown and Whammy and he does not impart any personality on either show. I don't care if a game show host was a radio DJ at one point. Radio has always been impersonal. Nowadays, a game show host should be molded out of a mobile DJ or improvisational comedian. These two groups have the most experience in audience interaction. Both have to listen to their audience (contestant) and be able to play off them if they do something stupid. Ray Combs was the perfect host of Family Feud. Had he not committed suicide, I would have put my vote in for him.

The end of it would be an official end to an era that some might say has already been dead for about 15 years. The Price is Right is the last NETWORK Daytime Game Show. Besides that it has become an American Institution. This being said, a dropoff in my opinion in ratings will be expected no matter who is the host. Whomever gets the job will be compared to Bob Barker. However, this doesn't mean that with the right host the show can't thrive.

I like his energy and it really seems like he wants the contestents to win. When he was hosting Hollywood Showdown and Whammy it really looked like he's was enjoying himself with the contestants and I believe by allowing him to host a Game Show like Price is Right would give him more connection with the contestants.

The concept of trying to figure out who is "cheating" though was a solid show and Dwyer was a good host. For Bob who said Dwyer lacks game show experience, I looked at IMDB to recall all the shows he's hosted: I've Got A Secret, Extreme Dodgeball, Dirty Rotten Cheater, BattleBots, Ultimate Fan League. Dodgeball and Bots were maybe more like "sports" hosting than "Game Show" hosting (very little interaction with contestants), but, I count it anyway. That's not really a "lack" of hosting experience. Sidebar: Him being a contestant on "Last Comic Standing" was also a reason why I started to dislike that show, and I kind of disliked the show after season one, after I realized that 4 of the 5 final contestants had already been on Comedy Central at some point (maybe not their "own" special, but, on the "Friday Night Standup" show), and a few maybe even friends/collegues of the host (Jay Mohr) coming into the show. Even though I didn't think Dat Phan was really funny, he was the only one that I thought represented what the show should be (finding truely "unknown" talent that hasn't been on TV anywhere before). Dwyer being on season 3, despite having over 100 TV episodes to his credit, was another example of this, (but, thats how the people who run that show decided the show should be, I don't blame Dwyer for trying out and getting on, I just think it should be trying to find truely "unknown" talent. Unless I am mistaken, to get on "AI" you can't have any previous national TV experience, correct?). OK, off the sidebar rant now. Just wanted to say, I think Dwyer's personality that has come across on previous hosting stints might work on Price, and, him getting at least an audition wouldn't be a bad idea. “Dirty Rotten Cheater” was a pretty good show, although obviously it was on Pax which kills any show, and the rules were a bit too complicated for a network TV show.
