From Bad to Worse

With Bob Barker’s tenure as host of The Price is Right winding toward an end, rumors continue to swirl around who will replace the venerable emcee. Although CBS Early Show weatherman Dave Price had been considered by many within the Eye network to be the hands-on favorite to get the job (actor Mario Lopez and Entertainment Tonight's Mark Steines had also recently auditioned for the job), newer rumors have that Price deemed not right by CBS… and these same rumors have perpetually-bronzed actor George Hamilton ascending to the morning-game throne. Supposedly, CBS chief Les Moonves finds Hamilton to be “charming,” and Moonves believes that Hamilton would be an asset to the show. Lord knows that the 67-year-old Hamilton has not suffered from a lack of exposure as of late, between his recent stint on Dancing with the Stars and his numerous television commercials.

But… George Hamilton... to host The Price is Right? C’mon Les – what are you thinking?? He’d make even Dave Price seem like an inspired choice.
