Drew Carey, come on down! You're the next contender to replace Bob Barker as host of "The Price is Right."

CBS and producer FremantleMedia North America have talked to the comic about hosting the long-running daytime gameshow, people familiar with the situation said. Eye already has a relationship with Carey, who's been tapped to host the net's upcoming primetime quizzer "Power of 10" (Daily Variety, March 21).

Not to cut Drew, but this is turning into a joke. It's become add any relevant celebrity or TV personality you can think of. Maybe it's just a dream...that's right, I'm gonna wake up, find Patrick Duffy in my shower and the last eight months will have been a dream!

Oh hell, just give Wilford Brimley the damn show already.  He's already second in screen time after Bob as it is.

I'm starting to wonder if the UK producer (wasn't he rumoured to take the reins of the US version?) is starting to influence the potential candiates.... I see Drew Carey as Joe Pasquale without the squeaky voice.

That said, I think he's VERY capable of doing this seriously, that is, if you, the audience , doesn't have a problem with a womanizing, stripper-loving party guy who can be really, REALLY dirty.

I think he's gonna do great as a funny host who can inject seriousness on "Power of 10".

I see Drew Carey as an overweight Bill Cullen without the charm and energy.

A serial womanizer at the helm of Price? Sorry, I don't think the audience would ever tolerate that.

There is no chance in you know what that he'll get this job, especially since he's hosting "Power of 10" later this summer.

Just as there was no way the guy from Truth Or Conseqences would host the daytime version of The Price Is Right.
Also, the guy from Body Language had no chance of landing the job hosting TPiR's nighttime version.
Or am I misunderstanding your statement?

That you ever tried to understand it in the first place was your first mistake. Most of us gave up on that a loooooong time ago. :)

As usual, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Considering he had a weekly sitcom and improv show than ran concurrently, I think he can handle multi-tasking. The biggest issue would be flying from coast to coast, and other hosts proved it's possible (see Clark, Richard and Rayburn, Gene, and Bergeron, Thomas).
