The Price is Right for Drew Carey
 

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070723/..._price_carey_4

Genial comic Drew Carey was tapped Monday to replace silver-haired legend Bob Barker on the CBS daytime game show "The Price is Right." Carey confirmed the deal during a taping of the "Late Show" with David Letterman.

The selection attracted more attention than usual for a daytime show because of the prospect of replacing Barker, 83. Barker retired after 35 years in the job last month following taping of his 6,586th episode.

The opening attracted widespread interest, including from comic Rosie O'Donnell after she left "The View."

Carey, 49, spent a decade on his own ABC sitcom and also was host of the game show "Whose Line is It Anyway?," a comic improvisational show.

He will also be host of a new CBS prime-time game show, "The Power of 10," that will air first next month. He told The Associated Press that CBS officials first contacted him about "The Price is Right" immediately after he completed a pilot of the other game show this spring.

Raph's Girl note: SW33T!!! Drew Carey rox and so does Cleaveland! :evilgrin:

I coulda sworn they were just gonna let the price is right go with barker!
Not that I would be opposed to Carey taking over, I'm sure he would make the show awesome.. it just won't have the staying power because Carey doesn't have the 80 year old fangirls like my Nanny.

They should have just dropped it when Barker left. Now Drew Carey is gonna stain it and it'll die an ugly death. :(

They should have dropped it when Bob Barker Left, and Drew Carey's gonna make it die a horrible horrible death.....

wait...

someone already said that?


I really can't see him take the role of the game show host. I mean, that one he's doing right now looks like shizzy. I wanna see Drew on TV again, but that's not how.

I mean, I could have seen George Hamilton or John O Hurley. They have the goofy excess contained with dignity that most game shows have.

But then again, i'd love to see this guy take on the price is Right...

Well I stated before I wanted it to retire with Bob, but I think Carey will do fine. I think he's kinda funny and he's 100x better than Ryan Seacrest or Rosie :dead: .

I agree that The Price is Right should stay Bob Barker's. At least wait until he's dead to revamp the show.

Though I wouldn't mind Guy Smiley taking it on. :tlol:

They could have done a lot worse than Drew Carey. It may be hard to imagine right now but I think he'll do an alright job.

I would also like to cast my vote for Guy Smiley. I think this calls for a petition... ;)

.........................I'll just wait and watch before I judge.

I'd also like to throw my vote in for Guy actully a puppet host would be a great idea!!:lol:

Me too, I mean, I said the same thing after I saw House of the Dead and heard Uwe Boll was making Alone in the dark...."Ill wait" and look how that turned out.

Drew Carey is a much better choice than Rosie, as well as George Hamilton. The only person I thought would've been a shoe-in was O'Hurley. I was shocked to find out Carey got the nod. He was a good host on Whose Line, plus he's very sociable. It could've been worse.

I will say this: My mother must be psychic. We were talking about this weeks ago and she said, "I think Drew Carey would be good." :teek:

Hey, KROW...

I wonder if the 'actual retail price' won't matter now that Carey's on.:lol:

Yeah.

And instead of playing for a new car, you can win the hat from 'Scenes from a Hat' and one of Ryan's pairs of shoes.:P

Drew Carey isn't a bad choice, if anything, he will add some humor to the show:D :P :D

Drew Carey was just on the Jay Leno show to talk about both The Price Is Right and The Power of 10 (which is a pretty good game show IMO).

Anyways... it looks like the new season of Price is Right with Drew Carey doesn't start till Oct 15th. So we still got nearly 2 months to wait. Argh!!! :ohwell:

I still think Drew Carey got a raw deal for the animation/ Improv show he did for WB. What was that, like 3 episodes? It's not as good as real improv at an improv club, but those shows were fun to watch.

i hope he doesn't crack poor jokes on there, that would just kill the spirit of the classic and lovely game show i grew up watching with my aunt.
