The Price Is Right

With the departure of Bob Barker, a replacement must be found to fill the honorable role of show host. Being a respected member of the freelance media, I figured I'd throw my candidates into the ring.

And they appear as follows:

1) Louie Anderson- I really think he's funny. He cut his teeth on "The Feud" and did a hell of a job. He is currently unemployed, so he's definitely available.

2) Richard Karn- Better known as 'Al Borland' from "Home Improvement." He also has game show experience, also on "Family Feud." Ladykiller.

3) Tom Bergeron- Current host of "America's Funniest Videos." Slight cheese dick, but a solid personality. Knows Daisy Fuentes.

4) Jason Alexander- "Thank God You're Here" is not lasting, he'll be begging for this job come January. Stipulation: He MUST ride a segway.

5) Will Arnett- The steam coming off of "Arrested Development" has opened doors for this Canadian-born actor. I think he would be a great fit, although he'll probably want to stick to acting. Also would need to ride a segway.

6) Bob Saget- Why not. Although he would probably try to bang contestants after the show.

7) Zach Galifianakis- A bearded off-color comedian, he would send the show in a different direction. His appeal would be making fun of contestants for spinning the wheel like a pussy, or making an idiotic guess of $1. Better known (maybe) as "Alan Finger" from "Dog Bites Man."

8) Ted Danson- Probably the best candidate. "Becker" is a piece of shit. "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is no longer. Take it Ted, take it!

9) Burt Reynolds/ Norm McDonald as Burt Reynolds- Nothing wrong with either of these choices.

10) Donald Faison: The Token candidate, but would probably work out nicely seeing as "Scrubs" is over in the Fall.

There you have it, if you can put together a better list I'd sure like to see it.
