Could be worst...I think there is a chance this might be a good hiring...a small chance...but you never know.

I think he is the best choice of anyone who was reported to be in the running for the job. I can forsee him doing good on the show.

We'll see come fall.

I don't mind Carey at all, so I'll give him a chance.

When does the new season start?

What is it with Drew and all these game shows recently?

I think Zach Galifiankis or Patton Oswalt would be good, but I don't think they'd do it.. and I don't wish that on them. If they put a host in that would make fun of the idiots who overbid on the showcase showdown, it would be great. But I'm sure they wanted a long term contract, and Drew Carey seems like he's good for this. He's already had a hit show, and after a few weeks I'm sure he'll find a groove.

Oh, and stop giving away lawn furniture and stoves.

I'd rather they went with someone who's going to be in it more long-term than Drew. Not that I know he won't last long, but I just get the feeling that he's going to go a few years and quit.

They just don't make them like Bob Barker anymore. Who else could hit on women half his age, and never come across as creepy?

I was hoping Jenny McCarthy would get the job.

Yeah, he just got his own game show on another network, heh! Some singing thing.

Why didn't they get that douche bag Todd Newton?

I love Drew and I think it's funny that Drew and Craig Ferguson(played Drew's boss) have taken over shows on CBS.

I hear part of the deal was that Carey had to stop dying his hair and go all gray.

What else is a no talent hack to do? Can't stand him myself, obviously , but since I don't watch the show myself anymore it doesn't really matter to me. It just seemed like an odd choice IMHO... on the positive side though maybe Drew will stick to this for 35 years as well and then we don't have to see him in anything else. Actually this could turn out to be a good thing

Drew is a great choice

Drew Carey is underrated in my opinion & it's nice to finally see him getting his "Big Chance" that he deserves. I loved The Drew Carey Show, & althrough it wasn't the greatest sitcom in the history of television or anything it was a pretty damn solid one & was funny on a pretty consistent basis. It's not easy to find a replacement for a "Legend" like Bob Barker.

I know he would never have accepted but I think Kelsey Grammer would have been a good choice as well. Very likeable (If not more so) than Carey. Houw about Garry Shandling? he isn't doing fuck all anymore. Of course he was asked if he wanted to do his own real talk show & he declined so I doubt he would do this if he was asked. Plus he would come off creepy to some.

How about Michael Richards? Talk about fun!!!

No way! I love when they give away prizes that are utterly useless to most people. Not so much furniture & stoves, but crap like jukeboxes and scooters.

They should've given Gilbert Gottfried a try!

would have rather had Dustin Diamond

I am okay with it. I like Drew Carey.

I was waiting for someone to notice Groucho's comment, but no one did so I'll say it....

That would be *Jim* Carrey , dude.

Why do people really care who hosts the price is right? Except for retirees who watches this show?

It's huge with college students.

Once again, its just not a retiree show...I'm a stay at home mom who loves this show on in the backround, and I grew up with it.

Plus it's got a HUGE college fan base..IF you watched the show, you would see that half the contestants are college age kids.

So ya, I care.

I would have liked Gordon Ramsey here...

"Awww, come on! This is embarassing! You're guessing three hundred dollars for that crap? Get your head out of your ass you ****in' wanker!"

I think Drew is a good choice. I still won't be watching, but I think he will do well.

Not really with my experience. No one in my college watches it. I know college students are always on all the time, but I just don't see the audience where I am from.

I think it's especially funny when Grandma is up there and they want to give her a motorcycle or a snowmobile. Or give a huge living room/dining room set to some college student living in a dorm.

Which is why I love to watch the game show to see other people get stuck with that crap (assuming they can pay the taxes on it), but it's the last game show I want to be on.

Of course, the game shows I hate to watch are the ones I would love to be on the most (such as Deal or No Deal...You'd have to be a MORAN to not walk away from there with a comfortable size of change.)
