Marc Summers on (Not) Auditioning for Price

Back on 10/18 Marc appeared on Jimmy Pardo's "Never Not Funny" podcast and shared a never-before-told story about why he didn't get a chance to audition for Bob's gig - something that left many including myself disappointed.

Wow, interesting story. I think he would've done a good job and I would think the familiarity of him from his Double Dare and What Would You Do Nickelodeon days wouldn't have hurt in terms of bringing in audiences/viewers. And since he hosted the live Price show he was certainly familiar with hosting the show and at least some of the games.

Even though it sounds like he really wanted the job, can't really feel sorry for him though since he's been an executive producer with Food Network for many years. His jab at Drew at the end wasn't necessary either.

To somewhat cross-post my thoughts from this thread in which the full podcast was linked (as a bonus, around the 50-minute point Marc has some choice words on WinTuition), what I find rather interesting is that it would seem neither CBS nor Fremantle knew who he even was -- and, rather oddly, did not care to find out through a simple internet search.
