He has to have the qualities of Barker (funny, warm, etc..) but can't be exactly like Barker (otherwise he will be compared to him consistently)
I thought Ray Combs would be perfect, except he would try to turn it into his show (especially with the comedy)
-
I agree with Ray. He's one of the GS hosts I really, really miss.
Hmmm...I still see Newton doing it.
-
The easy answer is either Todd Newton or Jeff Trachta, since they are actually gaining valuable experience doing the show now. I think Marc Summers' time has passed. Does hosting the show in one's living room count as experience? If so, I'm your man!
-
/\ Sorry, I may have you beat on that one. My turntable motor was recently replaced as a matter of fact. :)
Anyways, I'd like to see Tom Bergeron on "The Price Is Right." In a perfect world, Rod Roddy would take over as emcee.
-
Grrrr...not this topic again! :)

Maybe it's just me, but I really think that Todd Newton would be not a very good fit for Price. He's just not sedate enough. As for Marc, well, even though I think Marc is the one of the best things since sliced bread, I don't think he'd fit all too well either. Maybe this is the purist in me talking (and it probably is), but I think the Winker would fit the job well. Him or Bergeron, I guess.
-
Grrrr...not this topic again! :)
Is it just me... or does this topic come up about once every 3 months?? It's like a bad reoccuring dream.
And... just for the record... my vote is for Tom Bergeron... I think he's perfect for the gig.
-
Seeing Todd Newton host the show in Reno, I have to say he is more than competent to host TPiR. He changes his style a bit for Price from Whammy as he should. I thought he was a great host.
Other candidates do come to mind including Tom Bergeron. But I will leave them for a future discussion.
Tim :-)
-
I'll say bergeron or Summers. Freemantle seems sold on Newton, and I'm sure he'd do alright, but I think the other two would do better.
I remember this topic coming up on ATGS every three months...
Back then I think I was saying Summers or Tomarken :-X
-
I thought Ray Combs would be perfect
I've always thought Dennis James would do a great job.
-
When he's onstage, is Todd Newton being himself or is he affecting the persona of a stereotypical game show emcee? IOW is the guy running the show the same guy you'd meet backstage?

If you consider gaining experience using the same small rotation of games, yes. That wouldn't necessarily translate into the real thing. Have someone do a real taping at CBS, and then you'll see if they have got it.
I asked this question, because there was a suggestion Barker may finally retire in 2006 marking his 50 years on television (Recall 2006 would be 50, 2001 was 45, and 1991 was 35).
That would give enough time to find and groom an emcee.

I thought Season 40 would be a good goal to aim for, but was told that's a bit optimistic.
Then again, with a different host, they could reach Season 40.
Although with a new host, do we start at the season Barker left off, or start over?

This is why Prozac was invented. ;-)
NOBODY can replace Barker, period. He has rare elegance and an unparalleled gift that has been honed and perfected on the air every weekday since 1956. As to the question of who could host TPIR after Bob's retirement (which I hope is way past this season - the only commitment he has made to my knowledge)... well, I agree that the question is getting old. I say Frank Nicotero. He's got much more life than Ray Combs! ;-p
For whatever my opinion is worth, I've worked closely with quite a few hosts over the years. Todd has far better empathy, grace, and ad-lib skills than anyone around today. Don't judge him entirely on his Whammy! performance; there's so much more to Todd. And for the record, he's authentic - what you see on-air is what you get. I've never heard him comment negatively about anybody, at least not unless I start it ;-)

Frank reminds me of Garrett Morris doing the hearing-impaired version of Weekend Update.
For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, I'll just say that some of you chillums might have been conceived around that time.

Last time this was asked, I suggested Vin Scully, but was told he is only a year or two younger than Barker (but actually, he'd be a GREAT host for a revival of To Tell The Truth or What's My Line?). I don't know most of the current crop of hosts, so I'll take a stab in the dark and say Billy West, whom I only knew as an offscreen voice on the Screen Gems Network and Futurama (though the latter isn't a good barometer of how he'd do on TPIR).
-
Well...Matt's usually the one to say this, but I'll jump in....
Bergeron will NOT host TPiR. Didn't he specifically say on the E! thing that he didn't want the "GS Host" stigma? And taking a game like TPiR would definatly apply that to him.
I could see him doing WLiiA (I know, that doesn't count) or Feud, but that's about all - it's highly unlikely that he'll take a GS after squares.

Thanks, Tommy. It's amazing that people can remember these threads popping up every three months, but they can't remember what's actually being SAID in them.
Any list of potential hosts that is grounded the slightest bit in reality should NOT include Bergeron. He doesn't want the job.

Let us not forget that regardless of whether or not H2 returns next season, Tom will almost certainly stay with AFV. ABC can't get rid of it. They tried, but it's too cheap. FWIW, my guess is either Brad Garrett or Doug Davidson, only because they're both already on the CBS payroll.

They rely on cue cards. (Bergeron to a lesser extent)

I agree with Randy on this one. I can't think of
anyone who has the same grace, charm, and humor
that Barker does and who can provide the same entertainment.
Clearly, Barker is in a class all his own.
As for Todd Newton, I haven't seen enough of him to
comment one way or the other.
Has Bob Barker made any suggestions of who HE thinks might
best replace him when he retires? Perhaps HIS opinion might be
one to consider?
BTW, how old is Bob Eubanks? He's one name that came to mind
when I first read this thread. From what I've seen of him, he CAN
be entertaining, funny, personable, and charming...

Newton was a lot more restrained on "Hollywood Showdown" and he was terrific, adding life to a pretty dull show. I agree with you, Randy, I think he'd do great, as long as he realizes the show is naturally exciting and lively and doesn't need to be as artificially manic as "Whammy." You'd let him know that, wouldn't you?
The other issue is that while, yeah, Bob is the best host ever and does amazingly well at his age, his energy level used to be higher. Anyone who comes in (unless it's, heaven help us, Eubanks or Wink) might seem hopped up by comparison.

Having seen Billy in person (when he working @ WBCN-FM in Boston in the early Eighties)... (gee, how do I say this delicately?)... well, not to be discriminatory as to size, but he's so short... (MG Audience) HOW... SHORT... IS HE? (/MGA) he wouldn't stand a chance w/ one of those Samoan women who chased Barker around (to say nothing of G.L.O.W.'S Mt. Fiji, who pretended to body-slam Eubanks on that MOGSM Card Sharks clip.)
Mind you, I've always been entertained by Mr. West's humor, but I don't think Fremantle would go for somebody who'd be, like, (what, nine?) inches shorter than the average contestant, since it'd make for an awkward two-shot ((Dan Patrick) camera term (/DP).)
Esoteric Eric, with the Top Three visual pictures I had while composing this post:
3) Billy West holding the long mic Barker & Rayburn used in the Seventies (with his mic hand down around his knees)
2) Memories of ABC's old NBA coverage, with jockey-sized Chris Schenkel sharing a handheld mic on camera with his 6'10" broadcast partner Bill Russell
1) Another memory of old TV, this one of pint-sized actor/songwriter Paul Williams standing nose-to-cleavage with statuesque Julie Newmar on "The Mike Douglas Show"

Or Paul Williams standing next to Richard Kiel(who was/is some two feet taller than Williams) on an episode of MG80 when both were on the panel.

Well, the consensus that this question is a bit old is true, because this comes up at least twice a year, as far as I can tell. But I think this time, the question seems a little warranted because of two significant changes that have been taking place almost right on top of each other.
1) Rod Roddy's health battles - and these personally hit me hard because of his ties to Press Your Luck. Rod, God bless you always for all the years I've gotten to wake up to your welcoming voice.
2) The Price Is Right stage show in Reno - a first of its kind, I would assume, yes? A perfect training ground for the prince to prepare his ascension to the throne.
Which basically leads me to believe that it is going to be VERY difficult for Todd Newton to NOT be the #1 contender right now. He has unquestionably been the fastest growing game show personality in recent years, and his personality has been so adaptable that it just works for everything he's done in entertainment. They wouldn't choose him for the stage show if they didn't have that much trust in him. And I get a feeling that it could and should lead to something more...
As a closing thought. To you, Randy West, you seem to be the one destined to ascend the announcing podium. You said the first time that you wanted to salute the original: Johnny Olsen, in your stint. Just do us one favor: If you are the new man, make sure Johnny lives on... and make sure Rod does, too.
Stay Way Past Cool!

What about Paul Williams standing next to comic writer Pat McCormick in the Smokey & the Bandit movies? Of course, Pat is remembered for his appearances on Goodson-Todman's "Don Rickles Show" of the 1968-69 season. Remembered only by me, perhaps, but remembered. How about Paul Williams as host of TPIR? No wait, he already did host the show in 1994. (Doug Davidson's Y&R character is named Paul Williams)

I always thought Chuck Woolery would be a good host for TPIR? However, there are many on here who are more "in the know" about various TV personalities? What do you think?

Chuck is in his 60s. As much as we'd like to see Fremantle pick someone with a lot of game show experience like WOolery, EUbanks, Martindale, Geoff Edwards, etc.(Geoff would really come close to Barker's greatness hosting TPIR I think), they're more likely to pick someone in their 30s or 40s with lesser game show experience than they are a 30-year GS veteran like the ones mentioned above.
I'll bring another younger name into the mix besides the ones mentioned: George Gray.

However, if Bergeron can do a show like "Breakfast Time" sans cue cards, TelePrompters or IFBs--and at least once tear up the rundown sheet on camera--he can handle "TPIR," if he wants to--but he doesn't.

Regardless of how nice of a guy George is, he would be too smart-alecy (is that a word?) for Price.
I've heard Michael Burger shows up at TPIR a lot. He was at the Vegas show and Barker promenade unveiling.
Remember that Barker gained experience on games because he started with so few and slowly added more over the years. Teaching somebody 60+ games from scratch will be tough, regardless of how much experience he has.
Tom Kennedy had years of game show experience under his belt, and he only needed to learn 20 or so games, and at times, he seemed lost. Remember that his version was almost exactly the same as the CBS version except cut to 1/2 hr w/3 games and no showcase showdown.
Now do you think this version failed because viewers had enough Price and didn't want anymore or because viewers refused to accept anyone else in the role except Barker?
Then again Dennis James had a good run but most casual fans would not even remember that.

I think Barker not being there(and to a lesser degree, Johnny Olson passing away during the show's run) had a bit to do with the show's failure. Also, the show had less-than-great time slots, either against WOF or the then-growing J! in some cities, and in NYC had the wonderful time slot of 2:30AM on WNBC. SYndicated game shows with a late night time slot in NYC(TPIR Kennedy ,Crosswits 1986, Strike it Rich 1986, Wipeout, New Liars' Club, Relatively Speaking, TTD90, TJW90, etc.) virtually never make it past that season. Anyone recall any such shows that did? I certainly can't.

Which makes me wonder why they even did the show with that timeslot, especially in one of the biggest markets. Unless, it was in a better timeslot originally, drew poorly, and was then moved.
Remember, as a general rule, if people like something enough, they will go out of their way to see it. VCR's were common back then, so not taping it, if people wanted to see it, doesn't hold water.

The hope that another show would bomb out and the station would bring the show out of overnight hell and let it shine in the new time slot. Usually didn't work.
Nowadays, the combination of infomercials and a lot fewer game shows means that shows buried in the middle of the night happens extremely infrequently.

One exception(though another station came to the rescue in this case): WNBC in New York did air the first few months of Trebek's J! at 1:30AM, only to have WABC pick it up by December 1984 and place it at 4PM(replacing the cancelled Edge of Night)

I'm pretty sure WGN is carrying STREET SMARTS over the bird as well (with episodes airing in the early afternoon as well as very late at night). Those of us in Chicago metro only get the one airing at 12:30 AM CT. Granted, it's not NY, but there are some NY viewers who can get WGN via DirecTV/satellite (and even one or two who can get it via cable).
Meanwhile, as long as I'm already here. . .
