So yesterday, it had been reported that the field of candidates to replace Bob Barker had been whittled down to three: George Hamilton (Mr. Tantastic), Todd Newton (host of Whammy! and other assorted game shows) and Mark Steines (Entertainment Tonight reporter).
Then today, TMZ (yeah, yeah, I know...a real bastion of journalism) reports that current Family Feud host John O'Hurley is the front-runner. They've since updated their story a couple of times and the bottom line is that nobody is saying one way or the other whether he's a legitimate candidate or not. Read story here
Here's hoping they have someone chosen in time for the CBS upfronts in May. Although, I'm still holding out hope that Bob will reconsider since he's looked as great as ever these past few months.
Speaking of which, did anyone catch today's episode. A truly astonishing thing happened. A guy was playing Half Off and before the game began, he immediately chose Box #4. After eliminating some of the boxes, #4 was still available, so of course he chose it. Don't you know it had the $10,000 in it. That guy needs to work for the psychic hotline. Either that or he should go on Deal or No Deal. If I find video of this, I'll post it up here.

I still think watching this show makes you an old person before your time. Maybe you should take over the hosting position. No one knows the game better.
