Yet Another Price is right host audition - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

mriggles · 06-02-2007, 02:50 PM

Hi All, just a bit of an update on the search for the new Price is right host. I have it on very good authority from a friend at Cbs that there will be 2-4 more auditions to be held on June 8th. It appears that John Tesh will be one of the people getting an audition. I was also told that Tesh Agreed to do the audition but apparently is now having second thoughts. Kind of suprising to me that he would get an audition, prooves yet again that they really have not been blown away by anyone to this point. I will post more info as I get it but with Bob Taping his last show this coming Wed, cbs & fremantle better pick up the pace on the host search.

I don't like the John Tesh choice. He has such a wooden personality.

I wouldn't worry about it much, he may be backing out of it anyway because of a personal conflict. I have an idea who the other people are but I don't have it confirmed yet so I am not going to say anything just yet. TICK TICK TICK until Bobs last show tapes!!!!!

You and I both know that Rosie O'Donnell is getting a tryout. This is her "dream job."

CBS is putting a GRAVY STAIN on the Legacy of the Price is Right by not ending the show-lol

Not neccessarily, it all depends on the choice of host.

In an interesting development I have been exchanging emails with my friend at CBS & he informed me that the auditions that were scheduled for next Friday have been as he put it " scratched because of a development" I am not sure what that development is at this point but I will try & find out, and another interesting note, all thru this process of searching for a new host I would always ask him this question at the end of every email or conversation: Do we have a new host yet? He has always responded with a no, but this time, he did not respond to that at all. Am I looking into this too much?? Maybe but with the sudden cancellation of next weeks auditions, is that white smoke coming from the roof of cbs television city? Do we have a new host?? Again nothing is confirmed, I will post any news I get!!!

I don't know about wooden personality, but John Tesh isn't game show hosting material.

We don't have to worry about John Tesh from what I am hearing now

I agree.

If that is the case, then it has to be someone who already auditioned. We know of Todd Newton, George Hamilton and Mario Lopez. Forget about Lopez, because his show was picked up by the CW. My guess is Hamilton, but I hope I am wrong.

I hope you're wrong, too, Brian, because George Hamilton isn't game show hosting material. Lopez is out of the running, so that leaves, and it has got to be, Todd Newton. Of those guys you've mentioned, he's clearly the most qualified to suceed Bob Barker as host of The Price is Right. I really don't see anyone else other than Todd Newton taking the reigns from Bob.

JulieSomoski · 06-03-2007, 05:37 PM

I'd have to disagree. Todd Newton seems to "stuck-up" as a host. He tries to be funny but isn't, and would hurt The Price is Right more than anyone.

I agree with Solomon, though. The Price is Right needs to end after Bob's last show. It's a desgrace to the audience by not ending it.

I disagree with both of you! Todd Newton is still the most qualified to succeed Bob Barker. He hosts TPIR Live in Las Vegas and has also attended tapings of the show. Who do you exactly have in mind, anyway? Because as far as I'm concerned, no one else is more qualified to succeed Bob Barker than Todd Newton.
