IIRC, Gene was the announcer on Narz BTC, but he did that somewhat concurrently with hosting "Anything You Can Do." I think he also announced CBS Password from time to time.

Yes indeed. Gene announces one of the shows on the Password BCI collection. As for George Gray, I think he's a good fit for TPIR. The fact that he's a friend of Mike Richards probably helped too.

The Los Angeles Lakers have had players who can play inside but can't shoot a three or a free throw to save their life, players who don't have the physical game needed to drive the lane, but can shoot the lights out from outside, and people who can do both ably, but not spectacularly. They've won championships with all three types.

Adam Morrison has more rings than LeBron James.

So when do we start the "George as a possible replacement for Drew" thread?

/c'mon, g-r.net's probably got two of them going
//ObAnnouncer: He might be a "compromise," but I'm with Chris here - for someone that I thought made a ton of progression from EG to Weakest Link, I'm happy for him.

Please. No!

Congratulations, George!

George becomes an obvious choice. Who else would do the "facepalm" after a Contestant's Row overbid?

This happened?

/The facepalm, not the overbid.

Whenever there's an overbid, there's a cutaway shot to George, who does some sort of exasperated take, whether shaking his fist, mouthing "Come ON!", et al. "Facepalm" covers all that.

Ah. And now I know.

I basically had the six announcers in two groups - the people I would prefer (David/Jeff/George) and the people I would not prefer (JD/Brad/Steve). Good pick.

To be fair, I saw Roberto host TPiR LIVE at Bally's in Las Vegas earlier this year, and I thought he did an excellent job. (David Ruprecht was the announcer, who was also very good.) So he has the chops, just maybe not as a sidekick.
