It's happened before. When Drew Carey was picked for "Price is Right," he
was on nobody's list. I think people thought that it would either be Rosie
O'Donnell or the schmuck weatherman on "CBS This Morning." And outside of
the Bob Barker diehards, it turns out that after a rough start he's done a
decent job and is still at it over a decade later.
As for "Jeopardy!", one would have to think that the people who have done
the splinter versions of the show would have the first call if they wanted
it--in my order of preference, that would be Dan Patrick ("Sports") and
Jeff Probst ("Rock and Roll"). If you want to throw in Bob Bergen (kids
version on Game Show Network "Jep!") go ahead, but as long as he's got the
Porky Pig voice gig... Another choice for me would be Robin Roberts.
