Come on Down!

In case you haven't heard, Bob Barker is done at The Price is Right. After 35 years at the helm, he has decided to say goodbye to CBS, plinko, and the pretty ladies.

While I did not watch the show much, it was great for snow days when the only other shows on were soap-operas and reruns of Sportscenter.

I thought the show would die with Barker's retirement, but apparently it's going to live on. CBS is looking for a new host. Here are some suggestions:

Joaquin Pheonix: Has there ever been a more hated actor? Every time I see this guy on the big screen, I cringe. It's impossible to dissociate him from the brutal character he played in Gladiator. It would add an interesting subplot to a rather formulaic, repetitive show--is it possible for an actor to be forever trapped within an on-screen persona?

Xzibit: I would watch a pimped out Price is Right. Not only pimped-rides, but pimped lamps, golf clubs, microwaves...

Rosie O'Donnell: Just kidding. She'd be horrible.

Harold Reynolds: He is allegedly a great hugger, and 50 percent of the Bob Barker's job was simply hugging contestants.

Marc Summers: He was the lead personality on the greatest game-show ever (Double Dare), and with The Price is Right, he won't have to worry about getting dirty.

Steven A. Smith: To get him off of ESPN.

Selena Roberts: To get her out of The New York Times.

Barry Bonds: To get him to retire before breaking Hank Aaron's record.

Yi Jianlian: So the poor guy can make some money without having to go to Milwaukee.

Woody and Buzz Lightyear: I'm sure Pixar could pull it off.

Others: George Foreman, Gilbert Arenas, Vin Scully, Eva Longoria, Samuel L. Jackson, Mike Gravel, Harry Altman, Jerome Bettis, Cameron Diaz, Mr. Met
