I would say that he is merely following in the "successful" footsteps of his good friend, Drew Carey. Although no one would say that Drew is another Bob Barker, he finally handles the duties of game show host (read=contestant wrangler) almost gracefully. It took him quite a while to get this far. I would also say that Wayne Brady has a much shorter road to success in this venue. He seems to me the perfect fit for a LMaD revival. Plus, if they keep the costumed contestant angle, Wayne can definitely sympathize with the contestants having had experience as "the best damn Tigger ever" at Walt Disney World.
Being a game show aficionado myself, I look forward to the attempt.
