Breaking Barker

Wednesday, Apr. 11, 2007 - 12:41 a.m.

I don't feel like discussing a certain race-baiting asshole today.

Yes, that's right, I'm cutting Al Sharpton a break.

But don't expect it to last.

Instead, I want to mention something I call The Brass Ring of Daytime Television.

As you know, Bob Barker, who is just a little younger than God, is finally retiring from his job as the host of The Price Is Right.

It was actually one of the more interesting topics at the bar last Friday night, and when I submitted my vote, absolutely everybody I was talking with was pretty sure I'd flipped.

My choice for a replacement host -- Danny Bonaduce.

---

See? Nuts, I tells ya.

But think of it. I have never seen Danny Bonaduce be anything other than insightful and intelligent when he's been both in front of the camera and completely sober.

If he can defeat his demons, I think he'd do a smashing job.

---

Is there anybody else you would like to see as host?

Throw me some ideas!

---

Tonight, a new episode of South Park.

And tomorrow , Thursday, I head home.

Have a good Wednesday!
