CBS down to Steines and Newton for hosting gig?
Tuesday, July 17
From BuzzerBlog (apparently via the NY Post):
According to the New York Post (so take this as you will), CBS is finally narrowing the The Price is Right hosting field. Supposedly the two finalists as of now are Todd Newton and current Entertainment Tonight host Mark Steines. Sources are saying that George Hamilton is now out of the running and the status of David Price and John O’Hurley, the other two names being mentioned for the gig, is unknown.
From what sources told us, we’ve heard that Mark Steines is the strongest of the bunch so far. CBS has been very tight-lipped about who gets the position, which is rumored to have a paycheck of $3 million a year. They haven’t given a ballpark date of when the announcement will be made either. This has been your daily Price is Right host update. We’ll probably be back in about 15 minutes with another two front runners.
