Good God, that's very low blow.[/quote]
To call the guy Doofus? I don't actively champion for either guy, but people throw in all the remarks they want about Bob Barker when his name comes up, and that doesn't seem to ruffle any feathers on this particular board. Same goes for Richard Dawson, whose talent as Feud host and game show panelist often takes a backseat in our discussion to his tyrannical tendencies during his hosting heyday.

The defining difference between Drew and Barker (in my view), and thus where I stand, is that, whatever you think of their hosting abilities, Barker's antics backstage, putting it mildly, in particular those that went to court, have directly hurt and caused anguish to others through his egotism and other unenviable traits. Chris can pour insults upon Drew, call him every name in the book, and give a list of hosting grievances the length of some lucky guy's schlong he wants, and I will still hold Drew in higher regard than Barker, because no matter how much you think Drew's hosting sucks, whatever antics you think he's done so far have not gone out and HURT other people. I feel no sympathy for Barker whatsoever because of such...
I ultimately judge a person on their character, not their time-perfected ability to go through a show without an edit. In short, I'm with Raygor...
