Anyone know or care to guess who the surprise guest star will be on the Thursday Bob Barker special? Now I realize it's just a few days until it actually runs, but I think it's fun to play along. And when the promo ran during Survivor, my wife seemed disappointed that I didn't know who it was. So. . .

Adam Sandler? Les Moonves? Walter Cronkite? Astronaut Buzz Aldrin? The next host?

I think in one of the online articles posted in the recent days, it was mentioned that Les Moonves would be appearing on one of the shows (not sure which one).  On the promo, they are billing this person as a special guest star...while I'd consider Moonves a special guest, I wouldn't say he's a "star" so they are probably referring to someone else.

That would be like calling Mrs. Les Moonves a "star".

The proper title of Mrs. Moonves is "Star-bot"!

There aren't many *real* good Special Guest Stars available who would fit in with Bob's Tribute show -- Bob has either outlived them or has fired them!

Do you think they'll bring back Janice Pennington to do the handoff?

If you sincerely believe there is any chance of that happening, you have been living under a rock for the last six years.

Line of the YEAR.  Anyone who wants to fight about it, I'll be in the parking lot.

This is the show where Moonves comes on, promptly cancels the show after Bob leaves, and replaces it with Gold Case. ;)

I somehow doubt that they would bring back as a "special guest" any of the women whom Bob just called (sidebar) "such a problem" and "disgusting."

The first thing in that article that leaped at me was the above.  Yeah, if I'd been sued, I probably wouldn't have fond memories of them as well.   (I'm not going to make any statement positive or negative in regards to the validity of the suits, just that I wouldn't be happy *either* way).

---

Something else I noticed buried in that article though is that it still lists John O'Hurley as a candidate for host.  That surprised me initially, as the talk had been whittled down to the other 3.  But, a thought: Fremantle & Friends *already* have John under contract for Feud - they wouldn't *need* to pick up an option on him.
