Barker Interview
Jimmy Owen:
How about a karate match between old friends Chuck Norris and Bob Barker and whoever wins gets to be host of TPIR and the loser would be BANNED FROM TPIR FOR LIFE!

I'd pay to watch that only if you could promise me that Stone Cold would do a run-in and drop a Stunner on both participants at some point. :)

That's too bad. Because he's going to host the show anyway whether he wants
to or not. I'll get to work on the blackmail right away.

I give the Nod to Tom Bergeron
I agree, but he's got to be weened off of using cue cards.

I have a hunch that shouldn't be too much trouble. My first exposure to him
was on fx's late great Breakfast Time, which was choc-full of ad libs.[/quote]
And as I pointed out before, Tom didn't work with either cue cards or an IFB on "Breakfast Time"--just some note cards he occasionally looked at ("my ad libs, please," he'd always say before he made the daily walk down the hallway from the "ballroom" to the living room in the fX apartment) and his own instincts. The only time he read from a prompter was in the early days when he and Laurie Hibberd did the news inserts before Jane Fergus took that over (and she then did the segments from her cubicle one floor above the apartment studio, so for a good portion of the run Tom never saw a prompter during the show).

He uses cue cards on squares.
