'Price is Right' for Drew Carey

[HOMELESS CAMEL]

Genial comic Drew Carey was tapped Monday to replace silver-haired legend Bob Barker on the CBS daytime game show "The Price is Right." The deal was set Monday afternoon shortly before a taping of CBS' "Late Show" with David Letterman, where he confirmed it.

 

"I realize what a big responsibility this is," he said. "It's only a game show, but it's the longest-running game show in American television and I plan to keep it that way."

 

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.

Good pick, but it will be hard to replace Bob Barker.

You can't replace Bob Barker but I like the pick.

I had read somewhere that DAn Patrick was thinking about it or in the hunt. It may have been just a rumor.

I give the show maybe a year before it is put out to pasture.

I don't think the show will end. Drew Carey did a good job with who's line is it anyway and he'll do a fine job with this!

Don't get me wrong, I loved Who's line, but the price is right just won't be the same without the legend. I'm hoping that the show lives on, I just have a bad feeling.

Of Course it won't be the same, I mean no one can compare to Bob Barker, but I think Drew is a nice fill in, even though everyone already knows that he will never do as good as Bob.

When will his first show air?
