Who do you think could replace Barker?

I thought Season 40 would be a good goal to aim for, but was told that's a bit optimistic.
Then again, with a different host, they could reach Season 40.
Although with a new host, do we start at the season Barker left off, or start over?

This is why Prozac was invented. ;-)
NOBODY can replace Barker, period. He has rare elegance and an unparalleled gift that has been honed and perfected on the air every weekday since 1956. As to the question of who could host TPIR after Bob's retirement (which I hope is way past this season - the only commitment he has made to my knowledge)... well, I agree that the question is getting old. I say Frank Nicotero. He's got much more life than Ray Combs! ;-p
For whatever my opinion is worth, I've worked closely with quite a few hosts over the years. Todd has far better empathy, grace, and ad-lib skills than anyone around today. Don't judge him entirely on his Whammy! performance; there's so much more to Todd. And for the record, he's authentic - what you see on-air is what you get. I've never heard him comment negatively about anybody, at least not unless I start it ;-)

Kinda like the Claymation version of Mel Allen they used on This Week in Baseball after his death. :-)

I've always thought Dennis James would do a great job. [/quote]
No, he'd be too ethnic :)[/quote]

Frank reminds me of Garrett Morris doing the hearing-impaired version of Weekend Update.
For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, I'll just say that some of you chillums might have been conceived around that time.
