Fremantle was slowly destroying the show during the last few years of Barker's reign, but this was the iceburg the TPiR Titanic struck, as Fremantle currently finishes off the job.
Too late for hopefully no more cross-promotions because this was El Skunko 3: The Wrath of Wagner (Jack Wagner). El Skunko 4 and El Skunko 5 would come the following season.
I bet jack was like "I'm really happy for the both of you, but I'mma let you finish, but the Wheel of Fortune is the best game show on CBS of all time!"
This is one of the problems with the Price is Right now. It's resorting to using celebrities and gimmicks. This is a sign that the show is on it's last legs.
Price is Right is supposed to be spontaneous contestant reactions at its best, NOT reality-scripted drama that has epitomized crappy television the past decade
@WayoshiM However, this has been the first time anybody trained in improv comedy has been a host, and to have skits and the like were Drew's idea, so the show isn't "supposed" to be anything other than what the writers want it to be.
I think they planed this the whole time to play a joke on Drew. CBS wanted to this and I think they did not mean to hurt Drew feelings or anything, more play a joke on him.
I have one thing to ask to who ever thought The Price is Right needed guest appearances to make the show better, WHY? The show is perfectly fine without this cross promotion crap.
That's true RmSvc. I mean through the 35 years that Bob Barker did the show, there have been many guest appearances, but at least they only appear once/twice and not waste time for the hour. But the first time I saw this (no offense), it was so pointless for Jack Wagner to show up four times in one day on "The Price is Right"...
You are mostly right. Bob isn't watching most of the time. I watched a recent interview with him. In it he said he only watches a couple of games than turns it off. Honestly I don't blame him.

Pardon me, but I think the cameos by Jack Wagner, IMO, are all the work of Drew. BTW, I still haven't recovered from Drew's announcement of the perfect showcase bid. That week, I e-mailed CBS12 (WPEC) requesting them not to air TPiR anymore, yet they still do.
You are a moron. If you seriously thought for one second your affiliate would stop airing TPiR based on your letter, you are nothing but a moron who doesn't deserve to be in front of a keyboard.
Modor20, If You have nothing nice to say. Don't say it. Was it really necessary to use such harsh words about my comment? Becuase if so, I am blocking you, as You have a dirty mind.
Riduclous! It made no sense, and some of it felt scripted. The only thing that should be scripted in the showcases and the plugs. The "flashing" was the worst part of it. Yes, he most likely wasn't really flashing Drew, but it still was wrong.
With all this nonsense, it is no wonder TPIR is doing badly. Drew's bashing of prizes, bashing of games like 3 Strikes, Race Game, and Bonkers, guest appearances that make no sense. Drew's doing a bad job!

It was great to see Jack on the show. Drew, the contestants and the audience obviously enjoyed it. Jack is very talented, and showed his comedic skills today.
So you like his appearance, despite its pointlessness, just because you get to see unusual camera angles?
If you want to make a guest appearance make sense, then let there be no flashing, make them in less quantity, and just view the appearances of Bert Convy, Bill Cullen, Ray Combs, Richard Dawson, Charles Nelson Reily, Betty White, etc.
Just because he hates the Jack Wagner doesn't mean he wishes Bob still hosted. I hated Jack's appearance--it didn't accomplish anything except less game time--but I like Drew as host (even though he has some weak spots.)
I always liked Drew Carey , but he does suck as host of this show. But WHO could follow Bob Barker ?

Because they kicked out all the Voltrons and the ClockGameJohns, so the audience knows no better.
