Drew is actually doing a good job as host! I use to watch the old price is right with Bill Cullen as host! I had a hard time accepting Bob Barker as the new host when he took over the show!
I am sure glad he lost a lot of weight. He didn't look too well and being a diabetic that is not good. My wife is diabetic too and had an episode not long ago. With that and a bad back, I hope she makes a speedy recovery and starts a diet. I love her sooooo.
@903davesharonpoky Actually, Drew looked so much better before he lost that weight. He's now become living proof that some people were meant to be fat. He looks TERRIBLE as a thin guy.
@NightHawk12to81 Nighthawk, I will respect your belief even though I disagree. I am a PE/Health Teacher/Fitness Trainer. I watched this video of Drew and I still see him as fat. He could stand to lose a bit more weight. I understand his wife is diabetic. Thanks for your response.
People, in general, are totally reluctant to change. Over the years things change all around us, but we were felt warm and comfortable when we turned on the price is right. Why? because over the course of 30 some years nothing changed on the show, We saw Bob, we heard the same music, the same games, the same lines. Bob retired, and Drew came. From 2007 till now that was pretty much the only change, and he was doing his best to fill some big shoes. Now they're butchering it! Rushing the show!!!

@abc21abc2123 Correction, he was a temporary announcer. He was only on until early October, when Jeff Davis-- who America will see again on April 11, 2011 when Drew Carey hosts Improv-A-Ganza on GSN-- auditioned for the job, then Brad Sherwood, who auditioned for the job at the end of October and most of November, David Laurence, who auditioned in December, Steve White, who auditioned in January and now, for the first time since hosting "The Weakest Link" in 2002, George Gray.
yeah .i miss rick fields.. not much of a show there without him .. but drew is coming up with his weight being down there and the cowardly lion get up .. yep thats DREW..
@HomeoftheGoodGuys - Yeah, but who cares what you think? Bob was too old, and was wanting to retire. So, the show could have either ended, and no more TPiR, or, Drew Carey could host it. So, you have a choice of no show, or, a show you can chose not to watch. YOUR only option is reruns, sucka.
When Ralph Edwards made Bob Barker the host of "Truth or Consequences," Ralph told Bob not to imitate Ralph or anyone else, but to do it Bob Barker's way.
So naturally, Bob gave Drew the same advice when he chose Drew as the next host of "Price." "Do it your way."
Drew Carey deserves the spot after 2- 3 years of looking for a successor to do the pricing games, and bob barker should enjoy retirement, and hes should have done it on the 25th anniversary instead of the 35th
I agree! There was only ONE Bob Barker! Drew Carey might not COMPLETELY fill Bob's shoes as a host, but he's OK. However, it may take him 36 years of hosting to be loved by all of America as Bob was.
I couldn't have said it better. I watched the last Bob Barker episode before this, and it was kind of sad to watch. Watching Drew for the last year or so I think he's doing a fine job. He's not trying to be another Bob, he's trying to be himself, and he's doing great.
It was this entrance that started a new era for the price is right. Drew Carey got himself a good deal that everyone in Hollywood wanted; something that only the best can get. I do wish that his first taped entrance could have aired first but that's just CBS. The entrance was pretty good, I mean he didn't try to sing or dance he just did what was required of him & that was it. I don't think we will ever forget this day since it changed daytime television forever. 5 stars for a television moment.
Drew is doing a great job! Drew is not or trying to be like Bob. He is making the show his own. Hopefully next season will be great. Drew needs to build up more suspense during the pricing games but not to get too carried away as Bob did lots of times.
Most hosts do way better starting in their second year of hosting. Drew is doing good making it is own show and not trying to be like Bob. He is working on building some suspense like Bob. At first I think he was just excited like the contestants to see if they won or not. I miss Bob and he should make an appearance soon and hosting during the one bid and a pricing game at least once. Keep it up Drew!!
Most people bag on Drew too much. Of course he's our favorite Barker, but you know I like the job he doing. He put his own input about products and makes it funny. I'll tell you though I do miss Bob's way of building the suspense.
At first, I didn't think Drew could do it, but I have to admit, I am more than impressed and he's made the job his own! The same thing could be said of Colonel Potter on MASH, and he even told Klinger, who had replaced Radar as Company Clerk. To that same end, Drew Carey is no Bob Barker, but Drew took the job, ran with it, and made it his own. Even I have gotten to like him. Drew rules!
That's exactly the point! Drew has made the show his own! Believe me, trying to be another Bob Barker is last thing any host want to do. Be you're own host and the rest will take care of itself, Drew is doing great!
Nah...Sandler's had no prior GS experience, and TPiR's not the kind of show to leave in the hands of a newbie. Was cool having him stop by on Bob's last primetime show, though!
That was b/c Drew's 1st aired show was actually his 8th(?) taped one...but yeah, seems odd they'd air them out of sequence like that and make no mention of it being his first time out.
They were shown out of order because his first couple of tapings, they played the same pricing games. They wanted to mix it up a bit so they same ones weren't shown day in and day out. They did this so Drew can learn the games better over time.
It's just like "The Tonight Show" Yes, there's Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien starting next year, but it's still Johnny Carson's studio. Love or hate Drew, Bob Barker will ALWAYS be "The Price is Right."
CBS got Drew six primetime specials.They will be taped on February 11th-13th,but will air on the Eye on the 22nd.However,it last four weeks because after that last week,CBS will have intense coverage of March Madness,so on March 14th,the schedule will be filled with nothing but Price!
I know, it's great that Drew is still doing prime time duty even while Power of 10 is on hiatus. I wonder if they will be MDSs, or just regular specials (even though there is nothing REGULAR about TPIR in prime time!).
I'm just glad they didn't go and try to completely overhaul everything. They updated the sets a bit but it's not all "futuristic" and full of plasma displays (like they did on Wheel of Fortune and practically every new game show). That would have killed The Price is Right.
It could have been a lot worse. According to an interview with Bob Barker I saw here, Fremantle wanted to change the theme song completely a few years ago, but he, Roger Dobkowitz, and the rest of the staff objected. They also wanted to replace the doors with giant screens. And before this season started, there were reports that Fremantle wanted to change the set to look the set for American Idol, another one of Fremantle's properties!
anybody else notice how drew started playing with his left jacket pocket at 1:42 and continued till the end of the vid? i can't even imagine how nervous he must've been that first day
Geez, we're even comparing the two's entrances. Would all u ppl talking negatively about Drew Carey just stop? You aren't even giving him a year to make an opinion. Sure he's shakey at points, but recent tapings that they show on TV shows him improving. Just give the man a chance. You can't expect him to be Bob Barker or even better than Ole' Bob. If you REALLY hate Drew, than don't watch it and stop posting hate messages on him.
One of my favorite TV Show on CBS, my dad and me see it everyday at home, never missed a show by the way, Drew is the best host on TPIR, keep on going is an excellent TV Show, greetings from Costa Rica
To me, it's sort of refreshing to have some the contestants back to wearing normal shirts. All those designed "We Love Bob!" shirts were getting to be a bit too much.
I love how the opening theme goes at :47. Nice touch. Whoever redesigned the show is brilliant to both update the show yet keep the same feel. Even the Logo is changed but not radically.
How odd that the first show aired was actually the 8th taped, which is why Drew makes no mention of it being his 1st show...you'd think w/a change in hosts, they'd want to acknowledge it.
I alluded somewhat to this some time ago - the actual first episode was aired as the SECOND episode, on Tuesday October 16, 2007. I'm watching the episode in this clip as I speak. It's re-airing on the East Coast on the American Thanksgiving as one of the three today. The third aired episode, of which I forgot the tape date (it was in September), replays next.
The Nov. 27 show was taped 08/15, too. Was this the first?
The episode aired Oct 16 2007 was taped Aug 17. I was at Drew's first taping on Aug 15; it hasn't aired yet (as of Thanksgiving 2007). He nearly starts crying after he's introduced for the first time.
Gotta say the new Come On Down music is quite festive, but the cascading flutes do sound washed out. And the remixed theme song sounds pretty good as well. And the Showcase Showdown remixed music sounds sweet as well!
I totally miss the regular theme song...remixed sounds okay...it's sad Bob Barker retired, but now that Drew Carey is the host, let's see how he'll deal with the Samoans, since Bob Barker had trouble with those mainly during his 35-year run...LOL...
Drew Carey is actually a great host. I believe he will do a fine job hosting the Price is Right. The only problem is that he's replacing a legend, possibly THE greatest game show host in history. I definitely miss Bob Barker, and TPIR will not be the same. However, Mr Carey will do fine I am sure.
I want Rich Fields back! It's so awsome to hear him on the video game!

Terrible idea. He needs to do it his own way. Barker himself said as much when they named Carey as the new host.

yeah, i guess you're right, i'm just not used to the Price is Right without Bob Barker as host anymore

Greg has a nice idea. It'd be nice if Bob would return for these in some way, hosting or otherwise. But Drew would feel slighted this way, I think.

It could have been a lot worse. According to an interview with Bob Barker I saw here, Fremantle wanted to change the theme song completely a few years ago, but he, Roger Dobkowitz, and the rest of the staff objected. They also wanted to replace the doors with giant screens. And before this season started, there were reports that Fremantle wanted to change the set to look the set for American Idol, another one of Fremantle's properties!

Fremantle owns American Idol?
If they did change THE main theme song, I wouldn't dare watch it then. But it seems to be coming along just nicely ^_^

Love the remixed Come on Down music.
1. Will TPIR have primetime specials from Cleveland now?
2. Will we see guest appearances from the Whose Line Is It Anyway/Drew Carey Show gang?

anybody else notice how drew started playing with his left jacket pocket at 1:42 and continued till the end of the vid? i can't even imagine how nervous he must've been that first day
nycres 4 years ago
Yeah, I did notice that actually. I'd probably be so nervous, that I'd do the same thing.

that new camera angle they're using when rich is calling the first four contestants has to go. it's making me dizzy.

Apparently people approve of Drew. The ratings are still very high (as of December 2007). Still #2 in Daytime just like in the Barker days.
btn2271984 4 years ago 2
That's great news. I think Drew will last as long as Bob did on Price.
AdamStabelli555 4 years ago
Well..I miss Bob Barker. Come on, don't talk negative things about Drew. Give some love! At least The Price is Right is still running on TV.
exilenazripoly 4 years ago
Geez, we're even comparing the two's entrances. Would all u ppl talking negatively about Drew Carey just stop? You aren't even giving him a year to make an opinion. Sure he's shakey at points, but recent tapings that they show on TV shows him improving. Just give the man a chance. You can't expect him to be Bob Barker or even better than Ole' Bob. If you REALLY hate Drew, than don't watch it and stop posting hate messages on him.

I miss Bob, but I did hear that it was either gonna be him or Rosie O Donnell. I'm glad it's Drew Carey...

One of my favorite TV Show on CBS, my dad and me see it everyday at home, never missed a show by the way, Drew is the best host on TPIR, keep on going is an excellent TV Show, greetings from Costa Rica

I've always wanted Drew to host TPIR.
AdamStabelli555 4 years ago 4
1:23 was the oddest moment ever. I'm used to hearing "Bob Barker" but now I hear "Drew Carey". Meh, he's still good

To me, it's sort of refreshing to have some the contestants back to wearing normal shirts. All those designed "We Love Bob!" shirts were getting to be a bit too much.
tpirfan 4 years ago 4
Now they have Drew shirts.

DAMNIT!!! There was so much hope. Well, I've noticed more Cleveland Browns jerseys at the shows.

Hell yeah. He's from cleveland.
I am too.
God, I wanted him too get the job for 2 reasons.
1. He would be awesome for it.
2. He's from Cleveland.
Love ya for pointing that out, tpirfan.

I love how the opening theme goes at :47. Nice touch. Whoever redesigned the show is brilliant to both update the show yet keep the same feel. Even the Logo is changed but not radically.

peanut389 4 years ago 7
I agree...has sort of a retro feel to it, yet @ the same time, brings it into the 21st century and sets it apart from the Barker era.

if you notice dude, they change it, i mean look how it was in the 70's then the 80's the 90's and today. They could change it around a little bit
Soccerkid2005 4 years ago
I love drew so far and I think the redone music is okay, but I would've preferred to just see them keep it the way it was.
swensation55 4 years ago 5
How odd that the first show aired was actually the 8th taped, which is why Drew makes no mention of it being his 1st show...you'd think w/a change in hosts, they'd want to acknowledge it.
WhatsAYak 4 years ago
I alluded somewhat to this some time ago - the actual first episode was aired as the SECOND episode, on Tuesday October 16, 2007. I'm watching the episode in this clip as I speak. It's re-airing on the East Coast on the American Thanksgiving as one of the three today. The third aired episode, of which I forgot the tape date (it was in September), replays next.
The Nov. 27 show was taped 08/15, too. Was this the first?
CycloneGU 4 years ago
The episode aired Oct 16 2007 was taped Aug 17. I was at Drew's first taping on Aug 15; it hasn't aired yet (as of Thanksgiving 2007). He nearly starts crying after he's introduced for the first time.
lonestarfriend 4 years ago
That must be the upcoming Nov. 27 one, then. The other Aug. 15 ta[ing has already been aired. (Mental note to self: record Nov. 27 TPIR.)

Gotta say the new Come On Down music is quite festive, but the cascading flutes do sound washed out. And the remixed theme song sounds pretty good as well. And the Showcase Showdown remixed music sounds sweet as well!
wvoutlaw2002 4 years ago
I totally miss the regular theme song...remixed sounds okay...it's sad Bob Barker retired, but now that Drew Carey is the host, let's see how he'll deal with the Samoans, since Bob Barker had trouble with those mainly during his 35-year run...LOL...

No matter who hosts TPIR, CBS would collapse without it and daytime TV would become a wasteland.

Drew Carey is actually a great host. I believe he will do a fine job hosting the Price is Right. The only problem is that he's replacing a legend, possibly THE greatest game show host in history. I definitely miss Bob Barker, and TPIR will not be the same. However, Mr Carey will do fine I am sure.
