[quote name=\'clemon79\' date=\'Oct 3 2005, 06:24 PM\']This comment said "if you don't like Rich, tell CBS." My point has simply been that CBS didn't listen to us when it came to the original hiring decision, so I see no reason why they would listen to us now.

I meant that as a joke. More than anything to show they still had the poll up.

Speaking with Randy in AC, he's grateful for the opportunity to have done it.

I gather it's a hell of a lot more than he ever thought he'd accomplish. So in that regard, he's already won.

Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

Sure he has. I shed no tears for Randy, in many ways the whole thing has worked out better than he could have hoped, and I'm thrilled to see that he's doing just fine.

TPIR Live basically has to fill the house every night. Harrah's takes care of the venues, and as long as the tourism industry holds up they will have a steady stream of paying audience members. No worries about what happens when their old geezer emcee kicks the bucket, or the network wants a younger demographic, or they've lost their clearance in market X which is running them at 2:30 am, or the mobility scooter company/Liberty Mutual has cut their ad budget, or CBS wants to give the hour over to soaps, bla bla bla. The live show may thus have a more solid business model than the TV show.

Wow, today's show was the first where Rich didn't yell as much during the intro. Mayvbe he (finally) toned it down.

I'm not sure what you were watching, but there was clearly shouting going on.  He sounds like he gargles shards of glass.

Me? Yeah, I'm pretty sure I could.

That's still a crappy argument, though. You don't necessarily have to be able to perform a task yourself to recognize quality, or the lack of it, in the performance of that task. I will allow that there are situations where certainly a familiarity of the task might allow you to speak with more authority than you might have if you haven't done it, but, with all due respect to Randy, this is talking, and I think we have an idea how it SHOULD sound.

The more I listen to rich, the less I like him. I didn't mind him at first, but the highness in his voice when he announces a car, $10,000, or Bob Barker, is just shrill.
Even those who aren't gs fans notice. One of the other guys at work even made a comment about it when he announced the $10,000 on the punchboard.

Which is exactly why a lot of us don't like him.

I think he could be somewhat bearable if they got him some voice training, or if he just toned it down a little.

[quote name=\'tyshaun1\' date=\'Oct 3 2005, 12:56 PM\'][quote name=\'tvrandywest\' date=\'Oct 3 2005, 01:36 PM\']There are CBS personnel and others who are close to TPiR who have given me verbal information on the results of that voting. The casting was clearly (and perhaps rightfully) based on other factors.

Translation: Rich did not finish first in the voting. What, then, did they decide on who got the job?

Probably who could be the complete "yes man". I've heard Rich say "You got it!" more than anyone.

Pretty sad that Rich got the job even though he did not finish first.

Okay.  You don't like Rich Fields.  We get it.  Now for the love of God, please talk about something else.
