If you're talking about Ross King, I think that was from about ten years ago.

Pat O'Brien replaced Ross King a while back, didn't he?

The article I saw implied he's set to host the 2007 pilot.

Then again, Wikipedia is notable for "contributors" talking out their hats.

I'm looking at the article now (it hasn't been edited for a couple of weeks), and although it could certainly be clearer, it says that he's the host of the "unsold pilot", which always refers to the 1996 pilot in the rest of the article.

[chad1m]

Yep. Also, this site talking about the 1996 pilot shows King as host, so I'm fairly certain he's not lined up for '07 as well.

EDIT: I re-worded and organized some of the stuff on the Wiki page so it's cleaner and not as confusing.

As long as his last name isn't a synonym for "cost", it's fine. I just hope it's someone "big" so the secrecy is actually worth it.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest it isn't, or else John wouldn't be falling all over himself to keep it under wraps.

Hey, I liked him as Garfield's owner Jon, but can Thom Huge really carry a game show?

What is there possibly to gain by not revealing the name of the host?

Right, building interest and excitement in an unproven format. Brilliant.

Its a Sony/King World call...out of my hands...sorry!

And Sony/King World has exactly what legal authority over Mr. Bogart?

(Yes, I know you have the perfect right to ask Chris not to reveal the name, and I know it's his choice to abide by your request, so you need not evade by pointing out those facts instead of answering the direct question. :-)

Not sure why there's a big ruffling of feathers that John won't reveal a PILOT host.. it's not like that has a lot of bearing on the series getting picked up or not. They hired a person to stand there and recite lines.. GAWD! TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME!!!

All you need to know is the guy did a bang-up job on the pilot! Oh crap.. I narrowed it down. Sorry John!

Well, if it's not that important, it's really not such a big deal to reveal, is it?

Heh.  More evasion... shocked am I.

Honestly, I don't really care whether he does or not. I think if there's any ruffling going on, it's over John asking someone to keep quiet about it who really is under no obligation to, and then hiding behind the packager when asked why he did it. It kinda brings the reasons he made that request into question.

Really, in the grand scheme of things, I personally could care less who it is, mainly for the reasons you cite. All I was doing was rolling my eyes at more Ricci goodness.
