    If those are my options, cancel the show. If another hose is an option, let that be it.

    This has all the appeal of Ray Combs in Family Feud

    Wink's still around, along with the three-foot-long microphone, and hosting "Take On Orbitz!" on a TV set near you.

    After finding a fairly good list of all-time game-show hosts, two came to mind:

    Drew Carey, which would be worlds better than any of the three clowns mentioned...

    Anderson Cooper. Maybe he's tired of war zones and international politics and handoffs from Larry King. Better time slot, too.

    I just thank God that Tom Bergeron was not in the mix.

    Fen, I could be wrong, but I think Narz died last year or within that last two years. Wasn't his brother Tom Kennedy who did Body Language and a few TPIR shows?

    Steines works for ET. He's an Iowa boy from Dubuque. He roomed with current UNI football coach Mark Farley at UNI in the mid-80's, and Steines worked for KWWL-TV in Waterloo for a short time before leaving. He still has family here, but I highly doubt that he would be a good fit for TPIR.

    If they can't get Tom Kennedy, Wink, Eubanks, or Monty Hall, then CBS has to end the run. It'll never be the same when Bob walks off that set the final time.

    You young people (and not-so-young people) have no sense of television game show history. Bill Cullen, one of the great hosts in game show history, hosted the Price Is Right for many years before Bob Barker, and they revived the show later.

    John O'Hurley would be a better choice than any of the three people listed. Except for the fact that she seems to have annoyed people recently, Rosie O'Donnell might have been a good choice because she was a fan of the show, has a quick wit, and seemed to understand the way to work that show. From the sports world, Lynn Swann might be a good host.
