There was an ad during the Paul Newman tribute, showing Fred and Heidi, and listing the show for 3pm ET/Noon PT. Changes on the new format already?

Spray roundup on this, kill it, whatever.

Packard was just off for a couple days, per Fred Roggin just saying so. I guess this was posted over on their boards also....and having to shake off the rumors too.

Hey, I kind of wondered, though, with her being a rookie

Well, this one was to be deleted, but it's all a moot point. It does appear Packard is OUT. Her picture and name are gone from the GSN Site, and Fred was by himself today on the lead in a few minutes before 3pm. I wonder what the heck happened?

Maybe the 3-6pm ET is not doing so well? If that's the case, Ribiero will be next. I know they won't fire Roggin.

Fred said that Kelly left to "Pursue other Interests".

Heidi is in her place today. I wonder if she will be her permanent replacement?

According to Brendy, they are doing "rotating hosts", which means that Ribiero and Bohay are taking turns until they get a host. I'd say it'll easily be a month at the earliest, who wants to start a new gig this close to Xmas and the end of the year(especially for tax reasons, just start in '09)

/Packard was easy on the eyes
//Get Shandi as the new co-host, right?
///Diane Mizota wouldn't be a bad choice either.

Checked the unemployment figures lately? I'd start a new gig right now, especially so I could afford a better Christmas for my family.

Now, if you're the producers, I could see how there might be some benefit to waiting till after the first of the year to start someone.

So she hated the skein or got canned.

Well, Bohay did the Monday show last week, Ribiero did Tuesday, not sure who was on Wednesday, but Tracey Gold was on Thursday, and Cindy Williams was on Friday. So, they are taking a "Regis and Kelly" approach with a celebrity co-host. Carnie Wilson is on today.

I guess they'll do a star fest for the forseeable future, and I'd bet they'll be taking a couple days off around Xmas and New Year's. The live contest drawing is on 1/2, so I'd say they aren't on at all on 1/1
