Drew Carey to replace Bob Barker on "Price is Right"

[book_worm]

Just heard it on the radio, apparently Carey announced it at a Letterman taping for tonight. Is Carey a Republican? I thought I'd heard that. Oh, well...I guess his career is now that of daytime game show host.

1. Yes, he is a *bushie.

:spank:

[terrya]

2. Yes, he's a Republican.

[tridim]

5. He is, but he's a very weak kneed Republican

I've never heard him defend Bush when confronted. The Whose Line folks give him shit about it all the time.

12. So is Bob Barker.

:shrug: Can we say "production values"??

15. Make sure to have your Republicans Spayed and Nuetered to control the idiot population!

3. And so ends a great game show,.

He's not funny and not genuinely friendly.

I think they should have had "trial hosts" and let the people decide..

disclaimer: I have not watched the show in 20 years :)

6. Unless they reduce the number of contestants

He won't have much time to do schtick.

And I think viewers would be mighty pissed if there were fewer per show.

4. No replacing Bob

I remember back in the day, when a screaming consumer/contestant got the price *exactly* right, Bob would have them dig in HIS trouser pocket for the cash!

As far as I'm concerned, the show was over when announcer Rod Roddy died.

C'mon Down!

8. Good golly those suits...

...yea that was the end wasn't it...

7. Will Winfred Louder Provide Any Of The Merchandize?

I hope Mrs. Louder makes an occasional appearance on TPIR.

Maybe Mr. Wick and Mimi will show up as well.

9. Really, a Bushie?

First I hear Kelsey Grammar is a freeper, and now Drew Carey...?
WTF is wrong with these comedians? Adam Sandler, I understand, but INTELLIGENT folk?;(

10. What will be his ending line after each show?

"Remember its all about the OIL. Goodnight."

[UTUSN]

11. He's a wingnut, yet oddly appealing n/t

[WinkyDink]

13. He breaks comedy's Cardinal Rule: Do Not Laugh at Thine Own Jokes.

[Stephanie]

14. Drew Carey finally finds a job at his level of competence.

And talent.

[Swamp Rat]

16. Just another turd in the toilet bowl of variety game shows.
