How about the guy who played Bull on Night Court? I always liked Richard Moll. ---

[QUOTE=Tuckerfan] Borat! [/QUOTE] I’d love to see that. “Yagemesh! Come on down, unless you are Jew! Time to play _Price Is Accurate!_” ---

For some reason the first person I thought of was Wayne Brady, although I can see anyone from _Whose Line is it Anyway?_ hosting. Ryan Stiles would be a hoot! ---

Paris Hilton! She’s already famous, it might just as well be for a reason. ---

[QUOTE=BobLibDem] Paris Hilton! She’s already famous, it might just as well be for a reason. [/QUOTE] Nah – although the host doesn’t actually have to _price_ anything, he or she must live on a planet in which these items exist. She’d be flummoxed by Lemon Pledge ™, and refuse referee a game in which the prize was a La-Z-Boy, since she’d be unable to believe that anyone would actually want one. ---

How about Teller? He’d have a calming effect on the contestants. When they came on down, a cat purr sound effect would play. ---

[QUOTE=crinz83] How about Teller? [/QUOTE] I would prefer Harpo Marx, but it would be kind of hard, him being dead and all. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-who-should-replace-ol-bob-barker/378888.md?page=2)
