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

John O'Hurley... is he the guy who narrates the coarse light beer commercials? If I'm thinking of the same guy then I think he would be great for the role.
But why would they even keep the show running after Barker leaves? They know it will die out after he does, right? Oh and Rosie O'Donnell should not even be considered for anything. She has become such a bitter and hateful person that can't keep her feud with Trump from spoiling every appearance she makes and has no business on TV anymore. That's how I feel anyway.

I'd consider using her as an anchor or reactor shielding but that's about it.

If they want to have a woman host the show, I would love for it to be former TPIR model Holly Hallstrom. Barker and co. fired her for allegedly weighing too much, and put her through legal hell for years afterwards. Her replacing Barker would be wonderful revenge for her fans.

A female host would be neat. Good thinking Cassini! As long as the host is good and not just put in for the sake of change then it could be refreshing. I honestly can't think someone who would be good as a host but, for some unknown reason, I feel that Tyra Banks might be good.

Not Tyra. She's an egomaniac.

A female host wouldn't be out of the question, though. Last year, Ricki Lake hosted the Price Is Right portion of CBS's Gameshow Marathon, and in the early 1960s, Arlene Francis filled in for Bill Cullen on the show.

I'll have to take your word on that. I've never really seen her show. I guess no one can really fill Barkers shoes and do it justice.

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.

Ugh, anyone but Rosie O'Donnell (why is she even being mentioned?). She has really lost it, and her radical statements are enough to make me be sick of her. I won't say anymore about O'Donnell than that.

Anyway, I believe it's going to be mighty difficult to replace Bob Barker.
