Well, Paris Hilton has no commitments at the moment that I know of… ---

[QUOTE=kurilla] He’s currently starring in “Spamalot” here in Vegas, so probably not this season. Unfortunately. [/QUOTE] He also already hosts a game show. The current incarnation of [Family Feud](http://www.familyfeud.tv/). Though I expect he’d give that up for a big show like The Price is Right, if he could. ---

[QUOTE=kitemaker\_chuck] Kitefully yours, kitemaker\_chuck (Chuck Anderson) [/QUOTE] Cool. I just made my first kite ever. There’s been ZERO breeze in Baltimore since I finished it, but from what little we’ve had, it looks like it’s going to be a stable flyer, and I was able to correct a couple design flaws already. We’re hitting the beach next week and that will be the true test. I started a kite thread in IMHO about a week ago. Where were you then? ---

I would have liked to see Steve Irwin host the show. For one or two episodes, at least. ---

Mark my words it will be David Ruprecht from Three’s Company and Supermarket Sweep. He hosts the live version in Tunica currently and knows the games well enough to do it, plus he already has one game show under his belt so it’s an easy match. ---

[QUOTE=Trunk] Cool. I just made my first kite ever. [/QUOTE] I resurrected my [kite thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=419049) from a while ago (not that there’s anything wrong with the thread you started [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=425618)) & I’d like to hear about what you built. The game show crowd might be getting tired of us ---

[QUOTE=Hung Mung] As much as I love Ellen DeGeneres, I can’t see her hosting the price is right. Bob Barker had a sort of timeless quality to him. Maybe I’m just scared of change, but I like the idea of someone who will dress and act formally. [/QUOTE] Billy Crystal? ---

Well, given that I watch TPIR once a year – or less – I’m not sure I get a vote. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-host-for-the-price-is-right/409788.md?page=1)
