    Al Roker is 53 I believe, and a big fan of game shows.

    My vote is for O'Hurley. (But I'd still rather see the show fade away in reruns.)

    Marc Summers is easily the most suitable name of the ones I've heard.

    Having watched quite a few episodes of Family Feud in the last month or two, John O'Hurley would be a terrific replacement on TPIR. Plus, we could have prizes straight out of the J. Peterman catalog!

    (Then again, if the announcer has to read the entire description for each Peterman product, the show will take 2 hours.)

    We're OK as long as they don't put the Urban Sombrero up for bid.... :O

    Jumping in late here after a few pages, but I believe I have some insight as a recent contestant on the show:

    --On my show, they had George Hamilton auditioning. Mario Lopez is also being suggested. I think Hamilton might be able to pull it off. Honestly, though, Bob could have done that show for another five years. He hasn't lost a step.

    --It ain't all old people and college kids, as I can attest. A Marine came in full uniform and wasn't selected, and neither was the super-nice older African-American man who everyone thought was a lock. It's all about how you click with the producers in your interview. (However, I was one of the first four called down and I was the oldest person in contestants' row, flanked by college kids from Eastern Arizona and Florida State. They were both WILD.)

    --Some of the small prizes do come right from the store. In my game, I won a hardwood floor cleaning kit. About three weeks after the taping, a FedEx package arrived at my door from a random store in New Jersey, and there was the floor cleaner. There is good money in those product placements on the whole, however.
