Even if CBS doesn't make an announcement, they'll probably gonna go to a revolving guest host format. They did it when Craig Kilborn left "The Late Late Show"*, they did it for Rod's replacement, and honestly, it wouldn't hurt here. Let the viewers see who could be taking over the show, and have them offer input. Bob made the announcement in what, October? Don't be in such a rush to fill his shoes, and wind up regretting the mistake.[/quote]
If they preface the rotating hosts by saying they want viewer input, that's good, but I believe if Price is to stay afloat, it would behoove the powers that be to be a full supporter of somebody. Otherwise, it'll look like CBS is serving up a side of waffling.
I'm not sure how well viewer input is going to work, anyway. Half the audience will probably be expecting Dick Clark, and the other half will probably be expecting Ryan Seacrest.
To your argument's credit, though, Craig Ferguson is hella funny, so it might work out in the end.
