Congratulations to Larry Emdur, who was picked up by Channel 7 to host Wheel of Fortune just after his contract with Channel 9 finished. Asked about his appointment to the role, the former Price is Right host told The Courier-Mail: "I suppose my name has been on every game show pilot list for the last 20 years because there aren't too many of us, so you're going to find the same names appearing each time." In other words, the TV networks are generally conservative and would rather go with a known quantity from another channel than try somebody new. Curiously, the exception to the rule is relative newcomer Andrew O'Keefe from Deal or No Deal, which has been such a huge hit for Seven that Nine axed Price is Right. Nine's replacement show is the revival of another old game format, Family Feud, starring another oldie (but goodie) Bert Newton.
