As a fan of Patrick's dating back to his days as The Man From Atlantis (Belinda Montgomery...yummers!), I'm sorry to see Patrick go, be it by the producer's choice or the host's. I had no problem with his handling of the hosting duties.
As for Richard Karn, I'll give the ole cop-out, yet true "only time will tell".
By the way, just a request from your beloved Don: Could we please can it with the "double the" this and "double the" that when the former Al Borland is being discussed? Woolery left Wheel and the ultra-use of slashies are infinitely less annoying.

Yeah, my personal favorite was "What 'G' state..."

I know there was more to the question than that, but I didn't hear it because I was too busy thinking "Why the hell do they need to hear more of the question before they buzz in?"

Mr. Armadillo: Georgia.
Cullen: I'm sorry, that's not correct.  I'll read the question for our family pair: What 'G' is the state in which you'd find the Mexican resort of Acapulco?

Well played.

Seriously, though, I've yet to see Bingo in America, but I honestly never thought Karn would get to host another show. Not that he was abysmal on FF, but he was just so entrenched in his his catchphrases (Lord knows he would've loved to quadruple the points too!) that he never took time to ad-lib. (Watch early Karn Feud, he did ad-lib on occasion. Not very well, but he did.)

I see he hasn't been able to shake his "aw shucks" and his overenthusiastic attitude he had on Home Improvement.  And advertising a top prize of $50 for your play-at-home viewers?  Their radio show gives more away!

Better: Diane threw the damn bingo ball at his silly azz.  "Card game, ball game, card game, ball game, SCHWING!"

I think I like Diane already. She should have thrown 2 for good measure.
