Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community - View Single Post - The Price Is Right: who will replace Barker?

Keep in mind that three syndicated nighttime editions of Price had others hosting that weren't Barker. Here's how they fared:

1972-80 version: Dennis James. His tenure lasted four years. He retired in 1976 and was replaced by Barker.

1985-86 version: Tom Kennedy. Tom knew his beans about Price (especially since original Price host Bill Cullen was his brother-in-law), but this version lasted only one season. The juggernaut double shot of Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy! was taking firm hold in the syndicated arena at this point.

1994-95 version: Doug Davidson. He was one of the stars of the CBS soap The Young & The Restless, but on a game show he was a deer in the headlights. This version ran only four-and-a-half months, barely making a blip on the ratings radar.
