Proving once again that forecasting the weather is secondary to on-air goofball antics, Dave Price licks Julie Chen on 'The Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS).

Oh, Dave Price. This isn't going to help with the relentless ribbing the 'Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS) anchors typically give you.

Poor Dave Price! It seems there's no end to the abuse that the weatherman suffers at the hand of his fellow 'Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS) anchors. And now, even his mother is fair game.

While using a high-tech "Weather Desktop" with touchscreen technology, Dave Price hits the wrong button and mistakenly ends up on a map of the West coast twice on 'The Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS). Harry Smith ribs Price for his mistake, as does fellow weatherman John Elliott.

Anchor Maggie Rodriguez, however, consoles Price in a later segment. "You had a rough start, but that's okay. It happens even to you," she said, patting Price's arm.

Is there anyone on TV who takes more abuse than weatherman Dave Price? On 'The Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS), Harry Smith convinces Rob Gronkowski, a college football player and prospective NFL draft pick, to throw a football at a bullseye target with Price's face on it, then lob a football at Price himself.

Gronkowski's first throw hits the bullseye with a great amount of power and speed. "Oh, you can throw at me, but you can't knock me down," Price taunts.

Sarah Silverman dropped by 'The Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS) to promote her memoir 'The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee' and learned that weatherman Dave Price may be harboring a secret crush.

"Didn't you tell me that Sarah was your secret crush, like, your entire life?" Maggie Rodriguez asked Price.

"I never told you that," Price replied quietly. And yet, Price and Silverman then lean suggestively toward each other as if to kiss with Rodriguez sandwiched in the middle.

Poor Dave Price! The weatherman for 'The Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS) forgets a date when reporting a factoid during a forecast, causing anchor Harry Smith to laugh loud and long at the on-air flub.

Price correctly reports that the second highest wind gust ever recorded on Earth occurred on this date, but he can't recall the exact year. In fact, Price needs to consult his notes before he can accurately report that the gust occurred in 1934. "This is why I didn't do well in high school," he said.

Anchor Maggie Rodriguez does a double-take after noticing a man wearing a head-to-toe green bodysuit among the spectators outside 'The Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS.)

"Did you see that green man out there in the plaza?" Rodriguez asked co-anchor Harry Smith. "He was completely green. Did I imagine that? Was there not a green man outside? I could have sworn."

Weatherman Dave Price lets loose on an inverted bungee jump on 'The Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS), executing a series of back flips and apparently causing slight injury to his groin in the process.

The unfortunate weatherman grimaces in pain throughout the entire segment. "You know, it's interesting. Harry had the colonoscopy last week live, and now I'm having a vasectomy," Price said, referencing anchor Harry Smith's recent on-air colon exam. "Bring me down, please, and call the surgeon."

Remember, there's nothing funny about colonoscopies, especially if they happen on live television. Weatherman Dave Price attempts a bit of humor by forecasting a "full moon" during co-anchor Harry Smith's live colonoscopy on 'The Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS), but Katie Couric fires back with a retort that firmly puts him in his place.

"I heard when they did your colonoscopy they actually found your head," Couric said to Price. "Is that true?"

What's a sure-fire TV winner? Having a baby. Remember when Lucy had Little Ricky on I Love Lucy? Even the reruns that have been running for 50 years are still favorites. So, with that in mind, don't you think America will be overjoyed that Maggie Rodriguez on The Early Show is having a baby?

I do. I expect there to be a spike in the Nielsens as people tune in each morning to watch Maggie's tummy grow and check out her maternity fashions. On today's broadcast of CBS's morning show, Maggie broke the news to co-host Harry Smith, weather forecaster Dave Price and newsman Russ Mitchell. She told them they would all soon be uncles!

No one will replace Bob Barker as host of The Price is Right. Not the statement you probably had in mind when you read the title of this post, but it is undeniably true. With 35 years and tens of thousands of episodes under his belt, Barker and TPIR became a single entity. And, at least in the short term, his successor would always be compared to Bob, no matter who was chosen to host the mother of all daytime game shows. Heck, the Pope could have been chosen to host and people would say 'Yea, the Pontiff is good, but he isn't Bob.'

With that out of the way I can say that Drew Carey is the right man to take the microphone as host of The Price is Right.

Seriously. Mario Lopez is supposedly one of the three finalists in the running to take over for Bob Barker when he retires from the long-running CBS game show later this year. The other two finalists? Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Donald Trump.

OK, I'm kidding about those last two names. But would they be more of a ridiculous choice than Dancing with the Stars star Lopez? What do producers see in him that they say, "you know, he might be a good replacement for Bob?"

There's an interesting little blurb on The Price is Right website which questions earlier reports that CBS weatherman Dave Price has been selected to replace Bob Barker when he retires at the end of the season. Here it is, straight from the site:

All fans of The Price Is Right, here is your chance to attend a taping on a Thursday as two non-air shows of Price will be taped on Thursday, January 25 at 12:15pm with John O'Hurley and Todd Newton and at 4:45pm with The Young and the Restless' Doug Davidson.

Hmm. Certainly sounds like an audition to me, particularly for Newton and Davidson, who have hosted other versions of TPIR. Todd has been hosting stage versions of Price Las Vegas and Atlantic City, while Doug hosted the short-lived, nighttime, syndicated version of the show back in 1994-95. O'Hurley may be there due to his recent hosting duties on Family Feud. So, if you live in the Los Angeles area you may want to stop by . . . you could be watching a try-out for the next host of The Price is Right. More information on tickets can be found at the show's website.

I didn't even know that Syler was a host of The Early Show. How could he be the host of a daily morning talk show on CBS and go around the country, cutting open people's heads and stealing their superpowers?

Actually, it's Rene Syler, one of the 34 co-hosts they have over at The Early Show (last time checked it was Syler, Harry Smith, Hannah Storm, and Julie Chen) is leaving the show to pursue other projects, including a book that will be released this spring. Her last day on the show will be December 22.
