Aw, c'mon, Mike -- you mean you wouldn't hand the job to the announcer of the 1993 International Underwater Basketweaving Championship Tournament? :-)
I am suddenly reminded of the ATGS posts in which various people who had sung "The Star-Spangled Banner" were suggested as potential replacements for Bob Barker.

I was thinking more along the lines of how Merv Griffin went against conventional wisdom with Pat Sajak, and how Tom Bergeron (?) was choosen over higher profile John Tesh. The Conan comparison may have been a little off though.
I mentioned Donny Osmond because, yes, I liked him with contestants on 'Pyramid'. He would also be a 'name' if that becomes a factor.
