Bad Choices

A Pimp Named Slickback

Bob Barker was the Mac, he was the US's answer to James Bond, his only competition was Richard Dawson, who basically was the uncle that if at Thanksgiving you couldn't find your daughter and you couldn't spot him you'd break into panic.
Barker had his own harem, Barker's Beauties. Bob Barker was a role model, handsome, elegant, graceful and overall a fly mother, shut your mouth. He recently retried, so who do think they'd bring in to replace him? Who? George Clooney? Resurrect one of the Rat Packers?
No they took it opposite way, they hired the stumpy, inept, awkward guy who couldn't get laid in a whorehouse with a fist full of dollars. They hired the opposite of what Bob represented, what made part of the electricity of the show is that the ladies on the show were all about Bob, they wore future Mrs. Barker t-shirts and he brought sexual energy to a show that was on during the middle of the day.

Oh well, Congratulations, Drew Carey on your new job.
Next up from this casting crew the remake of "Star Wars" with Andy Dick as Luke Skywalker and Richard Simmons as Han Solo.
