Underappreciated Guest Announcers (S32)
« on: May 17, 2021, 11:44:40 AM »
Once Rod Roddy passed away, we all know about guest announcers took turns until Rich Fields was selected in April of 2004. But I wanted to ask you guys... who was one guest announcer that you think didn't get enough credit/praise for what they did? Personally, I would say Daniel Rosen.

Daniel Rosen was awful. He had no qualities of being a good announcer.

Not to diss on Rich Fields, who did a good job in his 6 years of announcing, but I think Randy West should’ve gotten the job.

You're a brave man. After watching and listening to Daniel Rosen I never wanted him anywhere near a Price is Right microphone again.

My pick is Gene Wood. I think him and Bob  would have had great chemistry together.

I was referencing the guest announcers during S32, so late 2003-early 2004. I mean, yes, Gene Wood, would've been a good announcer for the show.

I liked Burton Richardson, but he was very busy at that time.

I thought Burton Richardson was too cheesy.

I would have selected either Randy West or Jim Thornton.

As for Daniel Rosen, all I have to say is, "Uh, here it comes..."

I think I'd rather have Daniel Rosen than Steve White!

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

Given his tenure as the Wheel of Fortune announcer, I'd have to say Jim Thorton was underappreciated as a guest announcer for Price in S32. I remember Art Sanders being one of the better candidates also, along with of course Randy West.

To each their own Nate, but you're in a very small minority with Daniel Rosen.

Yes to both. I also need to mention David H. Lawrence XVII (I'm surprised I remembered his full "professional" name!).

I honestly didn't care for Jim Thornton when he was on the show; needless to say, he's doing pretty well with "Wheel".

Didn't he troll and spam this board back in 2004?  I think Marc or John posted about it saying "Welcome Troll".

I thought Jim Thornton was underappreciated at the time of the announcer auditions then.
