Todd talks about how he learned from the master, Bob Barker, to prepare for his road warrior-ing. Newton was in the running to inherit the TV job when Barker retired. But showrunner Roger Dobkowitz, among others, thought the Todd was a little too slick, a little too pre-conditioned by his live show experience to bring any freshness to the TV gig. Of course, Roger wasn't a big Drew Carey fan, either, and Drew's done okay with the TV show.
In my own professional career I didn't have to travel much, but I never liked the road. Todd must have a different attitude. In the interview he talks how he just came off shows in Houston and Austin and loved every minute. And now he's getting ready for a show in Nebraska. We have a couple of days off. So I am recharging the batteries a little bit and dry cleaning the game show host suits and then we’ll be ready to hit the road again.
Willie Nelson sang a song about it.
