Drew Carey Is Bob Barker's Replacement

NEW YORK -- Genial comic Drew Carey was tapped Monday to replace silver-haired legend Bob Barker on the CBS daytime game show "The Price is Right."

Carey confirmed the deal during a taping of the "Late Show" with David Letterman.

The selection attracted more attention than usual for a daytime show because of the prospect of replacing 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, 49, spent a decade on his own ABC sitcom and also was host of the game show "Whose Line is It Anyway?," a comic improvisational show.

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

WOO-HOO!! !! !!

I am a big Drew Carey fan myself. I really liked his sitcom.

Now the question is: Will Kathy Kinney (who played Mimi on the sitcom) be one of Carey's Beauties?

Tim

I would have chosen Tom Bergeron. That guy doesn't have enough to do.

We have a locally made "Price is Right"

Wow - Drew must have run out of money.

Like I would notice

I think we should give Drew Carey a chance. I think he'll do great in "The Price is Right".
