If you got HoSho Todd, I think he\'d be OK. Whammy Todd would be totally inappropriate once you got to the second round. An inspired choice, because I think he could play up the reveal of the money amounts to whatever degree the producers would want.

Here\'s my $0.02...


 


Considering that the show has lasted this long in syndie land with Viera as host, would the producers attempt to find a suitable replacement Female host before going after a Male host?  Are there any well-known female personas out there akin to Meredith who could pick up the ball and run with it without turning it into a stepping stone towards another career/project? 


 


Now, on another tangent.  Visually, for me the \"stand-up\" game play works well with someone like Meredith, but say for shits and giggles Bergeron (or any other Male persona for that matter) gets the gig, I would rather see the \"hot seat\" come back out of storage.

I\'d say a female is pretty likely if they want to keep the current style and mood of the show. Then again, with the ratings, they may want to shake things up if they do indeed do another season. Also wouldn\'t be surprised to see some of these seasons on GSN in the near future.

Two words: Sherri Shepherd. That\'s who I would pick. She\'s already in NYC doing \"The View\"....

Weaklink75: ABC/Disney is quoted (from both Reuters and Dateline Hollywood) as saying the show will go on with a different host.

Coincidentally, Hugh Downs (another popular game show host with Today Show experience and journalistic chops) lasted about eleven seasons with Concentration before voluntarily walking away.  In one of his books, he says that he realized at one point that he was just going through the repetitive motions over and over and had stopped caring about his performance anymore.

I chuckl\'d.


 


Meanwhile, you could get me as Steve Harvey, for a lot less. I don\'t ask much...just a producer credit...and a fancy wardrobe...with vests. Oh, and I may have to commute from Norfolk for the time being. :-P

Is this fancy enough? It\'s got a vest and one of these. :-)

That\'s quite disturbing. I\'ll have to work two of them into my contract.

Rosie O\'Donnell is available and she has a new mouth to feed...
