Set to record by the end of the year to air next spring on CityTV -- 12 primetime episodes tentatively titled "The Price is Right Tonight."

Imagining Howie hosting this wearing a hazmat suit given his germ fears.

I was thinking what a great choice, but I wasn’t remembering his issue. I wish him well. [And I believe I shook his hand once in the late 90s.]
