Who do you think could replace Barker?
DjohnsonCB:
Last time this was asked, I suggested Vin Scully, but was told he is only a year or two younger than Barker (but actually, he'd be a GREAT host for a revival of To Tell The Truth or What's My Line?). I don't know most of the current crop of hosts, so I'll take a stab in the dark and say Billy West, whom I only knew as an offscreen voice on the Screen Gems Network and Futurama (though the latter isn't a good barometer of how he'd do on TPIR).
tommycharles:
Well...Matt's usually the one to say this, but I'll jump in....
Bergeron will NOT host TPiR. Didn't he specifically say on the E! thing that he didn't want the "GS Host" stigma? And taking a game like TPiR would definatly apply that to him.
I could see him doing WLiiA (I know, that doesn't count) or Feud, but that's about all - it's highly unlikely that he'll take a GS after squares.

Wink is 69(on December 4th), might be too old for Fremantle to consider.

I say Frank Nicotero. He's got much more life than Ray Combs! ;-p

Randy West should host with Bob Hilton(or let's hope, Rod Roddy) as the announcer :)
I think Bob renews his hosting committment on a year-to-year basis these days, no?

You are correct.
He usually decides if he wants to continue in November/December
