Roger Rose is somewhat well known.  He was a VJ on VH-1 and is the brother of the late ABC newsman and "Split Second" champ Judd Rose.

Where's Randy West on that damn list???

 What Whoserman said. Burton's OK, but Roger and Art I can't imagine being in Burton or Randy's league. Roger I only remember from his 1987-88 work on VH1(back when they played only videos, more in an adult contemporary vein than MTV was playing at the time), and I've not heard of Art Sanders.

My gut instinct tells me that Randy has got the gig locked and it isn't because of all the comments on this board.

Why have him continue to audition if he's the one they want?

Let's just hope Daniel Rosen doesn't get the gig.

Why have anyone continue to audition if he's the one they want?

I think they're just trying to give themselves the widest range possible to choose from when (if) they pick a permanent announcer. As for Daniel Rosen coming back for seven more shows . . . I dunno, studio-wide brain damage resulting from his first stint? Someone lost a bet? He's holding the Shell Game set piece hostage?

 Randy himself has said he's doing the announcer/sidekick gig in Reno for a while, so don't worry about our boy, he's not hurting for work, and I hope he's enjoying a watered-down Coke (with perhaps a finger or two of rum in it) in my honor at this moment.

At least he's getting a head start working with Todd, because I figure Bob will retire or leave the building first.

 Todd isn't hosting the live show at the moment.  The host is Chris Harrison of "The Bachelor."

Why not?

Ever seen a company that interviews for a position and they pretty much know who they want, but still continue to interview people to see if anyone is better?

No doubt.

I'd still like to hear Bob Hilton and especially Dean Goss. Where's Gary Kroeger?

The fact that Paul Boland was decreed terrible and was never invited back (aside from his remark) and this guy is much worse and comes back says something.

Well, if Roger and Art are like Daniel, The Second Half of Feb. will be very very annoying. Hopefully Burton or Randy will be back in March. Or Hopefully one of them will be good.

Yes, occasionally. But not when the likely employee is a "lock".

[Kevin Prather]

I think Randy told us that Frechuckle decided to not give any announcers a permanent PiR job.

 It sickens me a little that Fremangle would consider people with zippo game show experience for the TPIR annoucing gig(Art Sanders and Roger Rose come to mind, and Daniel ROsen's only experience was on the Vegas TPIR live shows).

Shortly before Rod passed away, there weren't many, if any audition tapes being sent in.

There might be more tapes being sent in (maybe they just didn't make the cut) than you would think based on who has announced so far.

I'm not too high on a former VJ announcing, but I'd be interested in hearing Art.

I wonder if they advertised the position in a paper somewhere in L.A?

And they aren't considering a full-time announcer?
