TPIR's new host?
« on: November 18, 2006, 11:14:27 AM »
According to Marc Green at Golden-Road.net, Dave Price is being given a trial run as "host" of TPIR doing some shows that will not be televised.  

More details at:  http://www.golden-road.net/modules/newbb/v...671&forum=4

As I don't watch the CBS Early Show, I don't know who this Price guy is and don't really care.

FWIW, I'd rather see Marc Summers, Tom Bergeron, or Todd Newton at the helm of Price.  Actually I wouldn't mind Tom Kennedy, either, but I know that's not an option.

And you missed the other important part of this...

A formal ticket announcement via cbs.com is forthcoming. More shows testing others hosts will be done at a later time, and we will pass along this information as it becomes available.

So Dave Price is not the replacement.  Yet.

You have to admit he's on a faster track than I am.

I think were going to have to come to terms with the fact that Price is the annointed one.

I wouldn't go so far as to say Dave Price is the "annointed one" just yet.

It's obvious CBS wants him for the job and they're pushing hard for him.  But remember one thing:  it's not CBS' job to fill, it's Fremantle's.

And Fremantle is going to listen VERY CAREFULLY to CBS's wishes if they hope to continue doing business with CBS.

My forecast : Dave gets it.

I trust your vibe for this better than my own, but I have to ask: doesn't Fremantle have SOME pull here? I bet NBC or Fox would love some highly-rated daytime programming...

Fremantle has all editorial control. It's their property.

How says it couldn't move to another network?  (Thanks for watching Today on NBC...stay tuned for another exciting episode of "The Price Is Right" next on this and many other NBC stations)

What a way to revive a genre for daytime television: competition!

Yes, but I see Matt's point, too. The question is one of the value of the show: would NBC or Fox pay when CBS is paying now? That's a vast simplification when you work in production costs, and whatever savings they're going to get on the new host's contract over Barker's, and such. But I'm wondering if there isn't enough profit to be made from a high-profile network switch that it does give Fremantle some negotiating power.

Would NBC be able to get much coverage in the event of such a switch?  I'm not sure how willing the affiliates would be to give up the time slot even for TPIR.

Who's to say it has to be a network show?

Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

A shift to some other venue would be quickly spun by CBS as "without Barker, the show is nothing" and probably the public would agree.  Already, many of my "normal" friends (sorry, guys...) are asking me if the show is going to be cancelled when Barker retires.  Any sort of success the show can hope to achieve will be accomplished by retaining as much sameness as possible during the transition.  CBS is an important part of that.

Meanwhile, haven't we already established that Price bombed twice with a live audience in Atlantic City?  Does CBS think that they'll get a different result in Studio 33?

It could have been first time jitters...could have been. What can I say, I'm always the optomist.

IMHO, If all the potential hosts get tryouts, then I don't think the die-hards will be upset. If they decided to ONLY try Dave Price, then people will be really, really pissed.

I'm under the impression that "CBS" and "thought" weren't two factors that were working together when this decision was made.

The notion that CBS would stop doing business with Fremantle and cancel TPIR because they disagreed on the TPIR emcee is laughable. That said, do I think Fremantle has the cajones to stand up to CBS? Not really.

What is this hard-on that CBS has for Dave Price? He has no experience doing this kind of show and the above quote bears this out.
