Just to prepare the fanbois, Burton should be getting some brief camera time on 12/22.

At least that was the way it was recorded.

Regarding the 3 un-televised Dave Price tryout shows coming up:

To those who go see the show(s) and are ultimately picked, will these contestants win anything, or will they be using TPIR Live budget-level prizes?

You just know there will be a few unsuspecting people who will go through the ordeal to see the show, wind up on stage and then come to find out that they may only win a 42-inch color TV at the end of the Golden Road, for example -- despite all the verbiage on the tickets saying this will not be as big as a Barker ep.

Which is still far better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Any such contestants who are unsatisfied with their winnings should send the 42-inch tvs to me.

CBS.com says contestants can win $5,000 or more in cash

Rumors of Dave Price have been going around for several years now. I don't know why executives insist on hiring people with no experience hosting game shows. (An exception is Howie Mandel. They went outside of the box with him, and it worked.) For something as big as TPIR, I hope they don't screw this up. Barker's repalcement is going to have big shoes to fill. If they get a person who can only read cue cards, has no spontaneity, and can't interact with the contestants, it will really kill the show. (Many have predicted the end of TPIR when Barker retires. The point is they need a good host to save the show.) I hear Patrick Wayne is available. Wouldn't he be great? Seriously, I was hoping for Todd Newton. I once read that Marc Summers always had a fantasy of Bob Barker physically handing him the microphone and having him step in as host.

For a long time, I've had a fantasy involving Brooke Burke, April Torres, Victoria Sinclair and some lotion.
That doesn't mean I can expect that to become reality.
If it does, however, I will make it my mission to get Chris Lemon hooked up with Heather Davis.

I don't even know who those last two women are, and yet I am fully in support of this plan.

Yes, friends, I do believe that's the Line of the Day.

I've heard it called a lot of things, but "lotion" is a new euphemism to me.
