You’re the next host on The Price is Right! That’s right, the formerly famously bespectacled comedian has been picked to take over for Bob Barker on the super-awesome daytime game show. Carey is a longtime stand-up comedian and television personality, starring in The Drew Carey Show and hosting Whose Line is it Anyway.
Drew’s taking over a show that Bob Barker hosted for 35 years before stepping down a couple of months ago. Bob seems to approve of the decision, telling the AP, “I’m cool with it”. Seriously, that’s the quote. The 83-year-old Barker is apparently hip to what the kids say these days.
Some things Drew needs to start working on before he takes over:
- Putting – Bob rarely missed. And someone’s gotta show the contestants how it’s done
- Learning to tell if the big wheel is going to make it around the whole way
- Cracking Plinko – it can’t really be random, can it?
I think I’m ok with this move. Drew is WAY better than Rosie O’Donnell, who was rumored to be a possible replacement. And I can’t really think of anyone more suitable. So I’m going to go with it. What do you think?

As a huge fan of TPIR, I swear I don’ think I would have made it through college w/o that show, I think Carey is a good choice. He’s funny (mostly), has good stage presence and timing (thanks to Who’s Line, I mean he had to have picked up something from Ryan Stiles!). It could have been sooooooo much worse. The thought of Rosie ruining TPIR was down right sickening to hear. I wish Rosie would just go away in fact. She might be the most annoying “personality” out there these days. Trump was right about her.
