Wait...what Canadian one?

There's a French Canadian one.

EDIT:

He said he got to play a game with a contestant. I am curious to find out which game it was.

Probably a game they played on his show.

I'm looking forward to this...

BTW, I wouldn't be surprised if indeed, one day, Marco Antonio Regil got to visit Drew.

Does he play a game with a contestant as the host or a third leg (think Larry King and Grand Game).

I don't see how standing there silently would be just like "riding a bike". :P

Perhaps the prize in the pricing game he was there for was a trip to Australia.  That would be an interesting and fun one-time thing to do.

Now that you say it, you're absolutely right.  That HAS to be it.  Tie in the 40th anniversary year with celebrity appearances and it makes perfect sense to throw out an Aussie trip and bring out Larry.  Drew could tie this in perfectly, just like with Cake Boss' visit.

I find it hard to associate the word "perfect" with the least fun playing of Cliff Hangers in history.

You know, I would be very, VERY OK with Larry just settling in as permanent host. Not even because of any sentiment against Drew, but I've been a HUGE fan of Larry's work for years - LOVED him on Wheel and Price in Australia - and would love to see him hosting the US version.

I agree. After watching some clips of the Australian Price is Right online, I think Larry's a really good host. I wouldn't mind if he were to extend his visit. Looking forward to his episode.

I didn't comment on the playing of Cliffhangers.  I commented on the fact that Drew could tie in Larry's visit perfectly.

Your exact statement was, "Drew could tie this in perfectly, just like with Cake Boss' visit." (sic)  How, in any way, is that not a comment about the Cake Boss episode's Cliff Hangers?

Oh, I thought you were commenting on the game that Larry played with a contestant.  My bad.  Sorry I did not clarify sooner, we had a 28 hour power outage due to a nearby tornado ripping out some towers.

Oh, I just now noticed the picture.  Yes, a good picture.  I'd like to see Larry host something for us on this side of the pond; he is a good host, probably the best Australia has.  I look forward to his guest hosting segment.

Larry's tweeted a link to this radio interview in which he confirms that he hosted Cliff Hangers. (NOTE: It also mentions the result of said playing.)

Maybe it's just me but I had trouble playing this, anyone else?
