CULVER CITY, Calif.

It's a press release straight from the show(s).

I'm not too surprised at Pat and Vanna- but Alex was thought to be all but done (maybe they don't want to change horses while FF is breathing down the necks of both shows)...I'm just hoping we don't end up in a Jack Barry situation where they have to make a sudden decision...

Speaking of FF, BuzzerBlog is reporting that Family Feud is telling them that Steve Harvey has been signed on for another 5 years.  This should tie him with Dawson as Feud's longest consecutive host.

Oh wow. Didn't know they'd taken it that far. It says "No Claim is Made to the Exclusive Right to Use "Game" Apart From the Mark Shown". It more or less answers my question as to how the NFL Network can produce a documentary of the same name.

Ditto for Dallas being "America's Team".

Not that they've stopped making plans.

This reminds me of the early-eighties list of potential successors for Johnny Carson that included Richard Dawson.  The times and the climate can change a lot in a short time, and three years is an eternity for something like this.

Plus, if I was a cynical person (which of course I'm not), I'd be tempted to believe that this particular article was "suggested" by Josh Elliott's people, in much the way that Dave Price so actively pushed himself into the conversations about Barker's replacement.

And yet Larry King still supports Brian Williams for being the successor: 



Whatever you say, Lar.

It's OK...even if Brian Williams doesn't end up hosting, he'll still retroactively claim he did so...while simultaneously rescuing a busload of children from a burning building...with a helicopter he piloted himself...

So I'll expect to see the Bullseye round show back up in 2019 then. Cool beans.
