After CBS programming executive Barbara Hunter suggested Rod Roddy as a possible replacement for Johnny Olson on The New Price Is Right (1972), Rod was given the shortest amount of on air audition episodes before the job was offered to him. Rod did not accept the salary offered and had his attorney negotiate for a deal that was beyond what was budgeted for the job. Rod and his attorney stood firm while Mark Goodson Productions briefly resumed the search. In 1986, CBS and Goodson ponied up for what became a very lucrative deal after several renewals. Rod remained on the job for a record 17 years until his passing in 2003.
I could have prevented all this with a colonoscopy, and of course, that's the campaign I've been on since I had the first surgery. To everybody out there, get a mammogram! It can happen to men, too.
