To me it's a natural. Freelance actor and voice man Dan Duran should be Bob Barker's replacement on the Price is Right.
Forget the repulsive Rosie O'Donnell and the leather skinned George Hamilton, CBS should look north for the next host and there would be none better than our boy Dan.
Dan is very Bob Barkeresque. He's got the look and he's definitely got the demeanor and he's still relatively young. He's not even 50 yet.
Over the years I've always been impressed with the way women are attracted to Dan Duran and that would play nicely in Hollywood.
Most of the whacked out contestants on "The Price" are females, and having a Bob Barker clone such as Dan take the reigns would be a natural and sensible transition.
I'm very excited about this, yet at the same time somewhat disappointed.
I remember when it was first announced that Bob Barker was stepping down I phoned Dan and told him to get his agent on it. Contact the people at CBS and let them know that there's a hidden gem in Canada.
Let them know that Bob Barker Jr. is wasting his time in Toronto looking for bit parts in crappy Canadian productions while banging his head on anything that hangs lower than 6' 10".
But I don't think Dan pursued it. I think Dan took the attitude that it was too much, too fast and too far away and that makes me way too pissed off.
I want Dan in Hollywood. I want Dan on "The Price is Right" - granted I might eventually have to write every word he utters and make sure his clothes match, but I'm willing to do that.
For friendship, and ten percent of his gross.

Freddie, this is a good pick... knowing Dan as well, his voice, looks, mannerisms what are you waiting for... Dan send the tape in! America is waiting.
Hey Freddie, how many times have you heard Dan say the tag line... when he is sunbathing in his speedo a few trailers down, how many times has he yelled to you "Hey Freddie, come on down!"...

I would never of thought of him but you are right Freddie I think he would be a great Bob JR

Hold on a minute......sure Dan would be great as the microphone holding ring master of the Price is Right......(he even likes hummers.....the trucks I mean) but those who know him are obviously forgetting his limited functional motor skills.....want something broken? Give it to Dan. I have countless stories of Mr. Hockey Gloves causing accidents.....from dropping the last joint off a 14th floor balcony in Waikiki to countless spills at the dinner table, red wine on the carpet and furniture, sun glass lenses popping out and even breaking a screw driver at my place once....I mean...who breaks a screw driver???? Can you imagine Dan playing plinko??? That whole board would fall during the demo.....and the Showcase Showdown wheel????? What thousands of little old ladies couldn't do in 25 years, Dan would on day one....that thing would be rolling down the set like the stone in Indian Jones faster than he could say, 'are you going to eat that"? God help the prop department......that said, very little breaks me up the way Dan does when he laughs out loud at himself after every mishap.....it's a riot. So yes, I endorse the application but hide the gadgets on set...."hey this mic just broke" "That's weird...must be cheap"....
Just busting your balls Geeb....xxoo :)
Hope all you "cottagers" are great!!!!

Constructing a Mosque at Ground Zero has to be the un thought thru notion during the history of human beings, I truly consider that it must be purposely engineered, at very best, to insight conflict. I am no conspiracy theorist yet unfortunately it's possibly shameful or hateful, probably both of those. valerie

Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.
