The next "Price Is Right" frontman is not your typical pandering game show host. He doesn't even know the name of "the big wheel."

At a press conference last week, a TV critic asked Carey which "Price Is Right" minigame is his favorite. He said he watches only "once in a while," so he was kind of stumped.

"I think 'the wheel spin,' where you have to be closest to the dollar without going over -- that one I like."


Apparently Drew Carry here is going to be the next freaking host for the Price is Right. I loved the show as a kid, watching old ladies trying to win China sets while college kids try and beat them by bidding $2 instead of $1 or instead trying to be funny and bid $420. After hearing of rumors of that cow Rosie taking up Bob's place, I am actually glad it's now being taken up by Drew. I've actually thrown up a little less in my mouth even though he isn't much more appealing to look at. I usually catch the show only in summers where I can roll out of bed and chew cereal while being thwarted by Gold Bond Medicated Powder commercials.

    This was announced like two weeks ago.

    And I don't really mind him as a host even though I will probably not have an opportunity to watch the show for a long ass time.

    To be fair, those were mostly rumors, and yeah... now it seems he's actually going to do it for reals.

    man he went on letterman two weeks ago and said "I'M THE NEW HOST OF THE PRICE IS RIGHT" which doesn't really strike me as a rumor you know

    I'm just trying to make up shit to cover my ass and keep me from looking utterly stupid. This is like my first time I made a thread here in SE and I guess I already fucked it up royally. Besides, I just watch shit On-demand. I hardly watch regular un-demanded TV anymore.

    If I cared about "the price is right" I would have a little less room in my brain for something that isn't "the price is right".

    My friend at work hangs out on a forum that has a guy that works in the signage shop at CBS and he's going to maybe make a behind-the-scenes-at-the-new-price-is-right blog.

    He also took some pictures of the new sets and shit they're making.

    They all still look straight out of the '70s.

    They could make a whole game show out of fucking Plinko if they tried hard enough.

    Eh, it can't be worse than some bald obsessive compulsive hang out with some random weirdo while they randomly pick out suitcases. I mean, some of these "contestants" if you can call them that are really fucked up on that show.
