Who has seen the Price is Right since Drew Carey became the new host?

He's pretty good at hosting.

Wasn't feeling it; I like him, but he's just not Bob Barker. They should have picked J. Peterman or nothing.

You mean John O'Hurley?

But isn't he already hosting Family Feud?

I think the reason they chose Drew Carey was because of his horn-rimmed glasses, possibly as a tribute to Bill Cullen, TPIR's original host.

John Hurley, yes...but he'll always be J Peterman to me.

I'm a bit surprised they didn't try to coax Tom Kennedy out of retirement (Kennedy hosted a syndicated nighttime version of TPIR from 1985-1986).

At least they didn't bring Doug Davidson back, the one that's on the Young and the Restless, who also hosted a crappy nighttime syndicated version from 1994-1995.

Drew Carey is better than Bob Barker, IMHO. I have only seen six episodes so far, but I love what I'm seeing. Each day I cannot wait to see my beloved Drew Carey. Here are the things I like most about him:

~His nerdy glasses.
~The way he acts crazy.
~His catchphrases at the beginning of each show.

AND

~The way he laughs. I think he sounds like a girl at certain points, and that is just...so CUTE!

:heart: LONG LIVE DREW CAREY! :heart:

I saw the Price is Right with Drew Carey. Either though he's not that bad, I (in my opinion) don't think this role becomes of him.

I beg to differ. I think the role is perfect for him - but that may be because I'm in love with him... :wink:

Bill Cullen also had that same attitude of openly enjoying the fun that Drew Carey has. Where most hosts would chuckle politely at some gaffe, Bill would laugh out loud and help the contestant get through it by cracking jokes. Cullen was considered one of the very best game show hosts ever. I'll bet Carey joins him.

I caught a glimpse of it, but haven't watched it fully.
