You know who I wouldn't like to be all that much? Whoever's replacing Bob Barker on The Price is Right. Can you imagine stepping into the shoes of someone who's been beloved by the American people for over 50 years? And I thought the chilly reception I got when I first replaced Marc Roderick in Scamper was bad. (I've forgiven you all for the tomato throwing and nuclear Indian crotchburns, by the way. Forgiven... but not forgotten.)
Obviously, the next host is going to be resented by little old ladies across the heartland. I think CBS should embrace this potential negative reception and go all the way with it. Can you imagine the reign of boos that would come down from the rafters if Rod Roddy announced:
"And now, the new host of The Price is Right... John Rocker!"
Or maybe they could get Mike Tyson. Are you telling me you wouldn't be a little more compelled to watch Plinko if there were even an outside chance of someone getting bitten and/or raped? Ratings juggernaut.
I know good TV. And that, people, is good f'ing TV.
