Motion seconded, uncamark. Walberg came to mind as well. His humor may come across a little snarky, but put in a lighter setting (literally - Cover has a pretty dark set. Did RR?), he might lighten up, too. I could see him doing Wheel.

Oh, did it ever--with the audience seated behind the main set, like "WWTBAM" and a bridge to get on to the main part.  If the winner either won the $100,000 or decided not to risk the $10,000 in the end game, s/he got to walk across the bridge off the set with Walberg at the end of the show rather than fall through the hole.

I never even thought of Walberg...that IS a good one. He does have that sarcastic edge, but you know it's all in fun. I think he could probably make some good ad-libs in the event of a contestant making a dumb guess (COUNT RUSHMORE or A GROUP OF PILL-PUSHERS).

Oh, God, yes!! Just thinking about it compels me to reach for the Vasoline. No one knock on this door for three minutes.

You just wish you could watch.
Back to the topic, however, on the EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! documentary, Pat was shown to say that whenever he feels like he might be tired of hosting WOF, along comes his pay envelope and he realizes the gig's not so bad after all.
