July 24, 200719 yr 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. :scared: http://tv.yahoo.com/show/33016/news/urn:newsml:tv.ap.org:20070723:tv_price_carey__ER
July 24, 200719 yr I had read somewhere that DAn Patrick was thinking about it or in the hunt. It may have been just a rumor.
July 24, 200719 yr Just won't be the same without BB. I give the show maybe a year before it is put out to pasture.

July 24, 200719 yr 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.
