I wonder who the hosts of those respective shows will be? Probably someone like Mark L. Wahlberg and/or Larry Anderson. I've got to think of modern-day game show hosts.

You're pulling my leg, right? It can't be Todd-I would prefer these two shows for either someone like Mark L. Wahlberg and Larry Anderson. BTW, get over the fact CBS weatherman Dave Price will not be considered to succeed Bob Barker on The Price is Right-it's time to move on from that. I don't care what anyone on this board says, Todd Newton, based on his experiences with TPIR Live in Las Vegas, is the most qualified to succeed Bob, and no one is making me change my mind about that. I don't mean to offend you, Brian, but we need to be reasonable about everything that goes on in the game show industry, nowadays.

I don't understand, why CAN'T it be Todd?

Why can't Wayne Newton be considered for Temptation or TPIR? He's personable and real handy with a microphone, and he could sing the opening theme song. He even has a lot of different colored suit jackets. Even better, he has the same last name as Todd Newton. Danke Schoen!

I think the ratings would go through the ROOF, if Wayne Newton took over. How about Fig Newton???

I don't see him doing any other show except TPIR-it makes a lot of sense, given his credentials from hosting TPIR Live. All other shows are open to everyone else.

Forget Dave Price, he's not even a consideration anymore.

The host for the show will be a guy by the name of Rossi Moreale (a correspondent for Extra)

Possibly, Seth, but mriggles just informed us the list for Bob Barker's potential successors may be down to two. He'll keep us posted.

Unless something changes I don't think Temptation will be airing in the Atlanta area regularly. I am very disappointed in WATL. They can manage to air Maury THREE times a day but they can't find one little tiny rinky-dink half-hour for Temptation?!?!

I dont think this Game Show is being seen in New Orleans
