I wouldn't mind seeing that done on a few pricing games.

I was thinking more along the lines of Joker.

a sub should be on site for such an eventuality--not that Bob should show up no matter what.

Personally I can't see $yd approving the bucks to have a fully-rehearsed emcee just sitting around. Besides, if it were one of the Reno emcees, how would they divide their time between Hollywood and Reno?

Hollywood would probably be their priority.

I dunno, you can make a lot of money in Reno.

ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with Joker. Good game. (**Ducking for cover**...but I'm serious!)

And P.S. Bob is back in studio this week, all is well.

You are entitled to that opinion. And I am entitled to ask you to pass that PHAT-AZZ blunt over here, because you are clearly HIGH as a KITE.

Were we back in the days with permanent models and a permanent announcer, I don't think there would be huge audience objection to having someone already associated with the show (meaning Rod or one of the Beauties) guest-hosting for a day or two. It's a bit trickier without either of those to fall back on. Randy and Burton's voices are well enough known, but I don't think their names or faces are recognizable enough to work. What really needs to be done is to slowly introduce a guest host, maybe just a one-bid/pricing game segment at a time (though I actually suspect that changing hosts in mid-stream, to mix a metaphor, would be way too awkward) for a few months before moving to entire episodes, to let both the public and the host accilmate, but I dobut Barker's ego would allow it.

Did anyone notice the very familiar face in today's audience? (2/10 that is) Mr Todd Newton.

Draw some of your own conclusions.

He's been in the audience before.

So has David Ruprecht.

So have I.

Doesn't mean I want his job.

Not that I have the talent (or the face or voice) to do it, but I certainly would give a lot of consideration to hosting Supermarket Sweep if asked. :-)
