And Chris, isn't likability factored somewhere into one's Q score?

I don't think be a contestant on a game show translates into being the next Great Emcee.

Hey now, what about Mike Reilly?  Er...well...OK, point taken.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Ken hosting a show if the opportunity came up, but TPiR doesn't seem like his "style."  Speaking of which, did that Comedy Central show he was slated to be the focus of officially fall through?  It seems like we haven't heard much about it lately.

His website mentioned something about the success of "The Colbert Report" putting the game on the back burner.

About the Dave Price tryout, I hear the intro had to be done seven (count 'em) seven times for reasons which include his waving to America upon the opening of the door [Blake Emmons used to do that] and not acknowledging the audience.

SEVEN TIMES for what, 20 steps to be in front of contestant's row?!? Yikes, you know what, that should be a wakeup call to Les Moonves right there. To "personalize" or screw up once or twice on an intro, that's OK...but SEVEN TIMES?!?! Excuse me if I'm looking too deep into his audition, but it sounds like Dave played "Unlucky Seven". (Losing horns for Dave AND the bad pun by me.)

This may be late to the party again, but I was watching to see how this thread fleshed out. I was watching a bit of TV Land's "100 Most Famous Catchlines, etc." last weekend and saw a comment made by Dave Price, and right below his name was "The Price Is Right". Looked awfully official. Didn't say "being considered"....
Should that be considered based on inside knowledge or not?

Seven times??? Sure, it's a new routine for him, but if you can't get it right by the third time at most.....

A good number of on-line versions of major newspapers are reporting it as fact as well.  Most refer to the Newsday article as source.  Is there another source, or is this a story that to most papers is a throwaway item?

You know, if I was Dave Price's manager, or publicist, or whatever, this is exactly how I'd be mounting my campaign to keep my guy as the front runner.  Drop a story to Newsday.  Tip off a reporter, which is how this thread got started.  Make appearances on goofy little VH1 shows where you can drop in an ID like that, and then if anyone says something, call it an accident. It sure seems as though if this was the foregone conclusion that everybody wants to think it is, we would have heard something a little more definite by now.  Just seems pretty calculated to me.

I have no doubt that's how this engine got running.
Helen Kushnick pulled the same sort of garbage to pump Jay Leno in the press in the spring of 1991 and the next thing we knew, Johnny Carson was retiring, Jay was given The Tonight Show job and David Letterman was, eventually, off to CBS.
The book The Late Shift is fascinating reading. The HBO movie was, in my opinion, a waste of time.

Didn't Jay Leno's former manager Helen Kushnik do something like that during the battle for The Tonight Show?
That is, drop a story to one of the papers that Jay already had the job back when it wasn't official yet.
Is this a fairly common practice in Hollywood?

I dunno, but the tactic seems to work and if it is untrue, wouldn't somebody at CBS or Fremantle officially say Price is not the guy?

One would think.

Maybe they're waiting for E! or "Access Hollywood" to report the rumor before they say anything. (I think they can keep "ET" and "The Insider Starring PAT O'BRIEN!" under control.)

I don't think it's possible to say Price is not the guy, when he may end up being the guy.  If CBS issues a release saying "No, it's not him" and then it ends up being him, it just causes more undue upset.

No decisions yet, folks.  Happy Holidays!
