And your new The Price is Right host is...

heavens!

As long as Ryan Stiles is somehow involved, i'm happy.

fuck this guy

will never watch again

my grandma is going to hate this!

WTF?!?!

I thought it would be Regis Philbin or Jon Lovitz, not Drew fucking Carey.

jergïns otm

Merv Griffin

as long as he gets the crowd into a chant of CLEVELAND ROCKS CLEVELAND ROCKS, i'll watch.

I'm going to protest outside CBS headquarters, demanding his replacement by Kelsey Grammer

or Michael Vick

or Andy Dick

Isn't this pretty much the showbiz equivalent of being a highly paid telemarketer?

louie anderson was 1st choice but he said no more game shows after his days on the feud.

drew is a good choice. he has a perverse, 50's, david lynch-esque thing going on which will work well within the confines of old insane PiR fans the the retro decor of the games and studio.

why would anyone want louie anderson after his days on the feud

chaki otm.

da croupier otm.

you know the money's good, but my God wouldn't this job suck?

No person attached to this announcement was going to come out the better for it.

24/7 acess to the Plinko board != sucking

"Don't forget to have your in-laws spayed or neutered, see ya tomorrah!"

They need to replace the guy who replaced Robert Ray "Rod" Roddy . It's difficult to measure up to Rod's overwhelming creepiness.

Aw. Why you guys so mean to Drew Carey?

The Drew Carey Show

well ok, but he had a lot of other good moments

HOOS LINE aka the worst show everdriver?

I don't think Drew's going to be hugged as often.

Bear-sized guys everywhere disagree.

He's cuddly!

He be less threatening to the models, which is good. But will he embrace the sterilization of domestic animals?

I like Drew Carey AND The Drew Carey Show and few people are as reverent about tv's history as that guy, so TPIR is probably in good hands.

we're not from the midwest

It's kinda funny that he's getting this job just as he's about to host a prime time game show. It's so hard to imagine anyone besides Barker hosting TPIR that it'll be hard to call whether he's any good until he settles into the job for a while, but I think Drew Carey's a better choice than almost everyone else previously mentioned as a candidate (Mario Lopez, Rosie O'Donnell, George Hamilton, etc).

it is called "kidding" - try it some time, it's kinda fun!

Oh, God...Mario Lopez was actually considered?!

I liked the Drew Carey show!

And Who's Line is it Anyway.

Who's Line is still on the Family channel 94/7, and I still stop for 5 minutes now and again. Not so much when they sing, though. Even Wayne Brady.

But Proops... you gotta know I love Proops. ;)

Kenan is totally not redeeming himself from his failed Andy Dick defense on this thread

It really was failed. But sometimes, when life hands you Dicks...

ouch

...you make Dickade. No wait, that doesn't work at all.

Does that sound the same in an English accent?

it really oughta be carrot-top, y'all know ...

Drew Carey just seems less huggable due to his ... sweatiness?

And you know he's gonna crack wise about all the games LOL PLINKO where Bob was completely non-ironic about the whole thing.

Plinko is not a fucking joke, motherfucker.

it is called "kidding" - try it some time, it's kinda fun!

hey, the notion was startling but not implausible

And he's off and running.

Carey is something of a sphere himself; when he first came out from the wings at the start of the show, he brought to mind the giant mechanical peacekeeper that went haywire in the first minutes of the movie "RoboCop."

Good one.

omg did he malfunction and kill a contestant???

Just another day with an emissary of Satan in the car:

this guy is such an awful host, you can almost feel his contempt for the people he has to deal with on the show

^ pat sajak is the king of that though

pretty sure this was bob barkers primary feeling

Barker was a better actor though.

really? he would pry people off himself saying something along the lines of 'dont touch me!'

Carey seems like a total dick in this.

I told Barker I was spayed and neutered, and he was my lapdog.

becoming host of The Price Is Right is such an awesome ridiculous cosmic joke on drew carey

That Esquire story is amazing and, yes, Drew Carey comes across as a complete asshole.

Aw, man, my brother is so into Price is Right. (He has framed photos of Bob Barker, ROd Roddy & some Showcase Girls up in his living room.) He'd love that story but otoh he is intensely offended by the word "fuck," meaning Drew Carey ruined my ability to send it to him w/out me looking like an insensitive jerk.

That Esquire story is amazing and, yes, Drew Carey comes across as a complete asshole.

I agree. I used to love watching the Price is Right when I was a kid but I have a feeling that if I watched the nu-Price is Right I would loathe it.

man, i remember being 5 sittin in my grandma's house watching plinko thinkin getting on price is right would be the best game show shit ever.

drew carey as host, always looks like he's thinking FUCK THIS SHIT I H8 MYSELF, its like son, you are hosting the best game show in the history of morning weekday television. fuck u 4 ruining the house that barker built.

I was just watching it this morning, I think for the first time this year, and yeah Carey treats it like some big fucking joke, but come on guys the illusion is part of the spectacle.

I wish I had a giant Plinko board.

It's pretty cool that Barker had made the game vegetarian. I'm not so big on cream of mushroom soup, though.

nah man, he loved some of the contestants, and most importantly, he loved the game.

Bob Barker agrees with us.

Good lord, how does this man stay virile – Plinko shots of catharides?

Him & Art Bell have the most comforting voices in hosting! And they're both retired. ;_;

I wish I had a giant Plinko board.

Don't we all:
