Never hosted before. Never heard of him. No problem. Hal March was the same way and he turned out to be brilliant. As for the L.A. comic part.....hmmmmm. If he can remember it's more about the game and less about him, he's off to a flying start.

That format is freakin' sweet...Gosh!

Oh wait, wrong Napoleon. ;-)

Between Mark J.'s reference to "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia" and your lyrics, that's enough bad music in my head for one day.  :)

"Copacabana," anyone?

Hey, Chuck, wait for me outside the theater before you go in, it'd be a great chance to tag up. I'll be getting into Part Authority just before noon, then I'll head on over there after I grab lunch. You already know what I look like. ;-D

Seeya then.

i think its going to have  Four studio audience members are invited to "come on down" to Contestants’ Row by the announcer at the show’s opening. They give one bid apiece on a prize, and the one closest to the actual retail price without going over wins it (and a $100 cash bonus if they hit it on the nose), and comes up on stage to play an additional pricing game for bigger, better prizes.
