This news comes from Harrah’s Entertainment this morning. The live stage version of the longest running game show in the history of television is getting a temporary new host. Joey Fatone, of NSYNC and My Big Fat Greek Wedding fame, will host the show at Bally’s Las Vegas from September 14th-25th 2010. This is probably a way for the producers of the show to test Joey out. If he succeeds then perhaps this will be a permanent gig for him. No news about the previous host Todd Newton and his status with the show, but it can’t be good when they bring in new talent. I was always a Backstreet fan myself but I do wish Joey the best of luck!!
About the show – ““The Price is Right – Live” Stage Show at Bally’s Las Vegas. The show, from FremantleMedia, producers of “American Idol” and “The Price Is Right” TV shows, features such fan-favorite games as “Plinko,” “Cliff Hangers,” “The Big Wheel,” and of course, “Showcase Showdown.” Joey Fatone will enlist audience members to play for their chance to win thousands of dollars in cash and prizes.”
