Toby (8:36 PM 7/17/2007): Who really cares. Can anyone really take Bob Barker's place? This man is a legend. I personally grew up watching Price and really think now that Barker has retired, the show should do the same.
Melissa (8:37 PM 7/17/2007): Too bad they seem to be fixated on looking at known people..
There are a lot of people with a ton of talent nobody has heard of who would make GREAT hosts.
There's a guy in San Diego by the name of Graham Sterling who has the perfect personality, hosting talent and America would love if he was given a shot.
Maybe they should do a reality show like "America Next Price is Right Host" to find the right person.
I guarantee the winner will do a better job than any of the people they have mentioned so far...lol

deb (8:37 PM 7/17/2007): Drew, no way, Rosie, no way, George Hamilton possibly, how about Lisa Rhinna or her husband what's his name, now they would be awesome!!!
Pat Strothmann (8:39 PM 7/17/2007): Drew will be ok but John o'Hurley is my pick. Don't know who Wilford Brimley is? What did he do on TV?
Hattie (8:39 PM 7/17/2007): I think John O' Hurley would be great. He's the first person who cam e to mind when I learned Bob was retired. Tom Bergeron would also be a good choice.
Rosie- Bleh!!!
Drew- Double bleh!!!
I'm with Steph on this one!!
dwm (8:40 PM 7/17/2007): What happened to the young man who did the nighttime show a few years ago. He was great; I think he is on Y&R as Paul. I think his real name is Doug
Theresa (8:40 PM 7/17/2007): OMG....ROSIE?? The is no way that hag will revive The Price is Right....she will make it a forum for her gay/lesbian agenda...NO THANKS. Drew is not the ideal choice either...Give me Mario or George Hamilton...both have CLASS and would fit right in..
dee (8:42 PM 7/17/2007): isn't wilford brimley the old guy on the diabetes commercials??
How about just retiring the show? Can't replace Bob Barker, Let it go out with a bang!
Dave (8:43 PM 7/17/2007): All Mario Lopez would be doing.... IS the Barker Beauties, His only loyalty is to his groin. I strongly believe the network would be opening up themselves to an inapropreate sexual misconduct lawsuit if you put that pervert on the show.
Eva Keller (8:43 PM 7/17/2007): I agree with Steph I think Tom Bergeron would be a great choice also. Although Jeff Foxworthy could be a worthy replacement. At least I think so I thinks he's a great comedian. I think Drew Carey is a little too dry for Price
Jan (8:43 PM 7/17/2007): I think Tony Danza would be a great host. Not that fond of Drew. Rosie would make it fun but she's gone off the deep end.
SErnst7777 (8:44 PM 7/17/2007): I would rather watch reruns with Bob Barker. It would probably be better to just take the show off of the air and let the fans of The Price is Right have pleasant memories.
Sharon (8:44 PM 7/17/2007): Mario gets my vote !!!
sprchrgrguy (8:46 PM 7/17/2007): omg not drew, they need a young fresh talent you can do it for 50 years ie mario lopez, joey fatone, even rosie would be better then drew. Not Drew Carey please please not Drew Carey!!!!!
what a waste of a good show, cause you see how his other shows end up, sure they were on for a while but NOT ANYMORE right?
Trish (8:46 PM 7/17/2007): OMG...Drew carey?? zzzzzzzzz
How about John O'Hurley...he's got charisma!
Paul (8:46 PM 7/17/2007): John O'Hurley, can't stand him every time he comes out on Family Feud he does a little dance. Tom Bergeron is the best choice
STELLA MALTESE (8:47 PM 7/17/2007): I;VE WATCHED BOB BARKER FOR MORE YEARS THAN THEYCAN COUNT AND I'M DEAD SURE TOM BERGERON CAN DO THE HOSTING FOR 'PRICE IS RIGHT'.
Grannie (8:48 PM 7/17/2007): DONNIE OSMOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cedartears (8:48 PM 7/17/2007): Why dont they just retire the Price is right show ??!! Why ruin it with a new host. It will never be the same. Bob Barker cannot be replaced. So lets move on to a new show of sorts.....
Russ Mancuso (8:49 PM 7/17/2007): LET'S ALL VOTE !
I PICK TOM BERGERON .
