Drew Carey Come on Down...

NEW YORK (AP) -- 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 (http://topics.cnn.com/topics/bob_barker), 83. Barker retired after 35 years in the job last month following taping of his 6,586th episode.

The opening attracted widespread interest, including from comic Rosie O'Donnell after she left "The View."

Carey (http://topics.cnn.com/topics/drew_carey), 49, spent a decade on his own ABC sitcom and also was host of the improvisational game show "Whose Line is It Anyway?"

He will also be host of a new CBS prime-time game show, "The Power of 10," that airs next month. He told The Associated Press on Monday that CBS officials first contacted him about "The Price is Right" immediately after he completed a pilot of the other game show this spring.

"My agent called me and said `I was talking to CBS casting today' and in my head I was thinking, `Oh, `CSI' guest star?' And he said what would you think about replacing Bob Barker on `The Price is Right (http://topics.cnn.com/topics/the_price_is_right)?"'

Asked if he found the prospect of replacing such a TV legend daunting, Carey recalled talking to a friend who knows the game show business who told him, "as long as Bob Barker is cool with it, the fans will be cool with it."

"I'm cool with it," Barker said after hearing Carey's remarks.

Barker said he's not familiar enough with Carey's past performances to offer an opinion on his selection. But, he said, "I understand he ad-libs very well and that he has a very nice, friendly way of working, and I think both of those would be helpful to him on`The Price Is Right."'

His advice for Carey: "Go out there and do that show the way you think it should be done. Don't imitate me and don't imitate anyone else."

While Carey said he doesn't know Barker personally, the comedian said he was comfortable that his predecessor would be accepting when he took on the job.

The negotiation process was nerve-racking. While he was talking with CBS about the job, Carey said he got a call from another lawyer in Hollywood who told him one of his clients was offered "The Price is Right" job.

He figured CBS had lined up back-ups if the first choice did not come through.

"If I was going after a second baseman, I wouldn't just talk to one second baseman," the Cleveland Indians fan said. "If I were the general manager, I would be talking to a few second basemen."

Better him then Rosie...

[fatsack]

I'd hate to have to fill those shoes.

[greywheel]

This is going to prove worse than trying to replace Richard Dawson on the Family Feud.

[peewee's lovechild]

I hope they bring in Ryan Stiles and Diedrich Bader every once in a while.

Maybe these two can replace the Price is Right girls.

[E20]

Wayne Brady can be your announcer.

"Wanye Brady will be the new announcer over my dead body...oh wait.." -Rod Roddy

[Trainwreck2100]

Yeah, i doubt this will last, not cause it's Carey, just cause i don't think the old cooks that watch the show will be able to accept anyone but Barker.

[Ray Combs]

I did a great job replacing that womanizing man-whore.....well, I did a great job until I hung myself with bedsheets.... :depressed

[Avitus1]

It'll be hard to fill Barker's shoes. Sure he was just of a host of a game show but he was a host everyone got used to seeing for 35 years. He put his stamp on The Price is Right and it'll be hard for anyone to give it there own flair with his shadow looming over that show. I'm glad its him and not Rosie.

[peewee's lovechild]

Rosie would've been a disaster.

She'd be giving away gay family cruises.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[samikeyp]

Will Drew have to be spayed or neutered?

[The Red Hood]

I hope they bring in Ryan Stiles and Diedrich Bader every once in a while.

Maybe these two can replace the Price is Right girls.

:lol Can't have Ryan Stiles without Colin Mochrie :lol

I hate the way everyone is surprised about this on all the local news channels the anchors have been saying how they did not see this coming and how he was never on the list of the potential candidates when in fact he was the leading contender since the beginning the thing about him is that he is not about to make controversial statements like Rosie O' Donnell or Whoopi Goldberg he is just going to do his job just like Barker did his :tu :tu

[The Red Hood]

Rosie would've been a disaster.

She'd be giving away gay family cruises.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Both Rosie and Whoopi Goldberg would have been horrible they would have spent the whole show talking about their 9/11 conspiracy's and their anti bush comments they might as well have gotten the Dixie Chicks

[Avitus1]

Rosie would also alienated the military watchers/ audience members. A lot of sailors, airmen, soldiers and Marines attend that show after all.

I was personally rooting for Steve Buscemi.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I was personally rooting for Steve Buscemi.

Showcase Contestant #1: Oh, Steve! I really want to win this money so I can quit my job as a waitress! The tips are terrible.

Buscemi: I don't tip. Don't give me that, if you don't make enough money, you can quit.

Showcase Contestant #2: Let me get this straight... you don't tip.

Buscemi: I don't tip because society says I have to. Alright, I'll tip if somebody really deserves it, if they really put forth the effort., I'll give them something extra. As far as I'm concerned, she's just doing her job.

SC #1: I'm nice!

Buscemi: You're okay. But you're not anything special.

SC #2: Special? You want her to take you in the back and suck your dick?

(Price Is Right crowd laughs)

Buscemi: Look, I asked you for a bid and it's been a long fucking time. I got three seconds of silence from you. When I ask for a bid, I want six seconds.

SC #2: Six seconds? What if she knows what she wants in advance?

Buscemi: Knowing in fucking advance shouldn't be in a contestant's vocabulary.

SC #1: You don't care that I know what I want to bid?

Buscemi: (Rubs thumb and forefinger together): You know what this is? It's the world's smallest violin playing just for the contestants.

Ghost of Rod Roddy: You don't have any idea of what you're talking about. These people bust their ass making funny t-shirts to be on this show because it's a hard show to get on.

Buscemi: So is trying to get on Hollywood Squares. But society says it's easier to get on this show, so I have to let them decide their answers quickly? That's bullshit.

GofRR: Getting on The Price Is Right is the dream of millions of people in this country. It's a show everybody can be on because they know the price or products and like to play fun games to win them. It's a long running show because people like that they can play at home.

Buscemi: Fuck all that. I'm very sorry the government taxes their winnings, that's fucked up, but that ain't my fault. It would appear game show contestants are one of the many groups the government fucks in the ass on a daily basis. Show me a piece of paper that says the government shouldn't do that and I'll sign it. Put it to a vote, I'll vote for it. But what I won't do it play ball. And this working hard to make t-shirts shit you're giving me, I got two words for that..."Learn to fucking play Deal or No Deal."

SC #2: He's convinced me. Take more fucking time.

Buscemi and John Goodman together doing it actually.

"Walter, when do we get to Plinko?"

"Shut the fuck up donny"

[cherylsteele]

Hell....Carey couldn't even fill Clive Anderson's shoes on Whose Line Is It Anyway? I anticipate a huge crap-out and TPIR will be gone in 5 yrs.

[ShoogarBear]

Seamen.Rosie definitely wants none of that.

[ShoogarBear]

I was personally rooting for Steve Buscemi.:lmao

Did you come up with that one yourself?

[T Park]

Partial, it was a name brought up in passing on the morning sports show on Fox Sports hosted by Steve Czaban.

I wish I was half as funny.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

no good can come of this

I disagree. As long as Drew doesn't break out with his big dick jokes on the air, I think it'll be okay.
