Drew Carey... Come on Down
Forget Rosie O'Donnell and Mario Lopez. Drew Carey is stepping in to Bob Barker's shoes as the new host of The Price is Right. Last week Drew told reporters, "That show needs to be treated with a lot of respect, as far as its place in American culture. As long as you do that and keep it going, I think it would be great."

No word on how Drew feels about getting his pets spayed and neutered.
Do you think Drew Carey is a good choice? Were you holding out hope for Mario? Will the show be the same without Bob? Tell me what you think!

I think this is an strange choice for him. I know it seems to be the path for comics without a sitcom (Howie Mandel, Jeff Foxworthy, Bob Saget...), but I never would have imagined Drew Carey in this role, without his buddies to play off of, like on Whose Line.
I think it is great, the show is about the contestants and I think Drew seems like a good choice. If it was Rosie I would ban it! And I dont see what all the fussis over mario??? He cheated on his wife at his bachelor party with a paid stripper, what is so attractive about him? Dimples????? He is still scum, noone who should be worshipped.
Just my opinion
I think Mario Lopez is a major turn off.
I don't care who you get they will not replace Bob Baker at all..I wish he would come back.. Why do we have to get old is my question? Wish we could all stay young..

I THINK IT IS FABULOUS ALWAYS LOVED THE GUY AND THIS IS TOO PERFECT, GOOD LUCK DREW...
Yeah, I can get past the feeling that Mario Lopez is a slime after what he did to Ali Landry!
I'm surprised they picke Drew Carey. A non-traditional, quirky choice...but it could work.

This is great and good luck Drew. We love you and I am so glad you will be in something on a regular basis. I have loved you in everything you have been in and I am from Ohio so that is an added plus because you are too. God Bless you and finally someone that I like gets a break to do something on a long term basis. I wish you the best.
Strange choice but I like Drew. I was hoping for Todd Newton from the Whammy show.
I think they made the wrong choice in Drew. He is not going to be able to pull it off. In my honest opinion, that show needs to go off the air because NO ONE can replace Bob. They should let a good thing end with respect...and not try to replace him. Drew is ok...but this is not his type of show.
Mario lopez will be better he cohost regis and kelly when reg takes a day off
I Think Its A GREAT IDEA DREW IS A GREAT GUY AND A VERY FUNNY COMEDIAN. HE BRING IN A WHOLE NEW CROWD OF VIEWERS THAT THE SHOW HAS NEVER HAD FAITHFULLY. GREAT CHOICE AND THE BEST OF LUCK TO MR. CAREY. OH AND AS FAR AS MARIO GOES HE BELONGS IN THE GUTTER WITH THE REST OF THE SCUM.
Drew's a better choice than O'Donnell. If she had got that job I NEVER would watch "Price is Right" again. That's my final answer!
To Anne--"That's my final answer." Or you could watch Millionaire instead. :)
I think they made a good choice with Drew. He's a really talented actor and comedian. But honestly, no one will ever be able to fill Bob's shoes. The show will never be the same no matter who you get to host it. If it gets cancelled in the next few years, I don't think it will be because of the new host--it will just be because the new host isn't Bob.
No matter who will host the show now, it will never be the same Price Is Right!
A most sincere "Come on Down" to You
Congrats Drew!!!! :-)

I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I HEARD THAT DREW CARREY WAS GOING TO BE THE HOST I THINK TO MAKE THE SHOW FUNNIR THEY SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN "JIM" CARREY...HAHA
THATS JUST MY OWN OPINION
I just cannot picture Drew Carey as host of The Price is Right. I loved him on Who's Line is it Anyway, but this seems strange. I will watch to see how he does, but he would not be my first choice as host. I wonder what Bob Barker thinks about it? I do wish Drew luck though, I am a fan of his in his other shows.
Drew f--king Carey! Is that the best the network can come up with? They scrape the bottom of the barrel for this NERD! THE PRICE IS RIGHT IS DOOM!
I think he is a great choice. Good Luck Drew.
I thought I heard that Dan Patrick got this job, guess I am a lil behind! Good luck Drew!
Good choice. Good luck Drew!
