The Price is Right for George H.

George HamiltonTMZ has learned that George Hamilton is the front-runner to replace Bob Barker on the "Price is Right."

We're told that CBS honcho Les Moonves and the show's producers think George is "wonderfully charming" and "could really make the show work."

We'll let you know if and when the perma-tanned TV titan is told to "come on down!"

61. I don't care WHO takes Bob Barker's job. He is too old and just plain nasty to look at. He's an OLD coot who needs to be replaced before he drops dead on his show.

His scandal years ago shows he is an ass*&*(. LOUD AND CLEAR !!!

My cat could host the show just as easily.

62. RICHARD KARN (from home improvement and family fued ) would be the best replacement.. not that geroge guy.. get some young blood in the show... he did a great job on family fued... i quit watching that show when he left ...

63. one of the reasons bob barker is so popular is his tireless work for homeless animals, so i hope george is an animal lover. if not, i hope cbs keeps looking.

66. No, no, no, no, no! Say it isn't so! I won't watch the show if perma tan man is the host. Yawn! Put him on Family Feud and hire John O'Hurley as the host of Price is Right....now there's someone that could keep the fun and show alive! He's a great tv host, great looking (uh huh!) and has experience but tan man? Nada.

68. I have two suggestions for the next host of The Price is Right. Why not Tom Bergeron or Chuck Woolery?

69. If Family Feud gets cancelled (mostly due to its low raitings) then John O'Hurley might replace Bob Barker. NO WAY IT WILL BE GEORGE HARRISON!!! Louie Anderson would be a good replacement as well (but he needs to loose some weight). Bill Raffery would be a good replacement, too. If Rich Fields replaces Barker, who would be the new announcer? Barker originally wanted Art Sanders after Rod Roddy passed away. If O'Hurley were to be the new host, would he prefer Burton Richardson to be the announcer instead of Rich Fields?

70. Give George the job and TPIR will go off the air in less than one year. Guaranteed. He is the WORST possible choice. John O'Hurley is ANNOYING.

71. I love the Price Is Right and I watch during my off time which is rare during that time frame. I agree there is someone better outthere to host. From what I seen from most posts I tend to agree that John O'Hurley will be a perfect host. He has the spunk and energy that can continue the tradtion.As for Hamliton all he is known for lately is those Ritz Chips Commercials and he is kinda cheezy (if anyone remembers he had a daytime talk show in the 90's and was cheezy then) I think CBS should see these comments and keep on looking. If George Hamilton becomes the host. The death of price is right will be around the corner.

72. Yes Yes !! Great choice. Give him a chance.

73. I would like to see either Mario Lopez or Jeff Foxworthy be the emcee of Price is Right.

74. Bob Barker IS TPIR, the two go together, but Bob does need to retire!!! Mario Lopez, a BIG NO for me! People automatically tie a person to what they did in their past. I think of Mario as a B-lister that had to do Dancing with the Stars cause he had nothing else. He could not fill Bob's shoes!!! We need the new host to be someone that is versitile and not sterotyped into roles their whole career! I think the show will go down with the new host no matter who it is!!
