Good news and a happy replacement for Bob Barker.
I wonder if he will keep with neuter your pets theme?

I can see him in that gig.

while i'm glad that the rosie o'donnell didn't get chosen, an act that would certainly have lead to the next apocolypse, i can't say i feel that drew cary was exactly the best candidate either.
i just can't see busloads of matching t-shirt wearing rednecks, old folks, army recruits, and college students lined up on beverly and fairfax to see a fat guy with thick-frame glasses hollerin' for his contestants to 'come on down'.

this will be a disaster

Carey is pretty funny sometimes, I'll give him credit for that. But I would have thought they'd go for a man's man kind of guy that can dish out the odd one liner.
I can't really see him revealing what's behind door number 1 in his nasally voice and ANYONE getting excited about it.I mean, really... their main viewing audience is probably 70-something year old ladies who swooned over Bob.
That being said, I think college kids will probably gravitate to him and he'll be super nice to all old folks and win them over that way.
wow. I'm bored.

are they keeping the same format?... some music... games etc?...
... cuz I like the guy too... but I agree w/Gucci's assessment that Carey doesn't have the 'voice' to get me/the contestants excited like Barker did.
He'll need a balancing 'Rod Roddy' type too... (not sure who's doing that now)

Well, the question of the moment, on everyone's lips, that people are talking, Goolgling, blogging and chinning about all over this great big wonderful world of ours is:
Can the young comer breath new life into that tired old carcass?
Ask the man on the corner. Ask your mother. Ask your guru. Ask your Dogsbody. Ask the bloke on the stool next to you.
Ask heavens above.And don't come crying to me.

they should create a holographic 3d representation of bob barker. he's still alive, so it wouldn't be hard to re-create his likeness.
that's what i would do, anyway.

also, what woman in her right mind is going to want to plant one on drew carey?
i mean, we're talking about drew f'n carey!

Now, that I'm pretty is going to happen.
Hot chicks always love fat, shy dudes.

... or at least pretend they do so they can help them build an ounce of self esteem.

he ruined Whos Line Is It.
she kept coming up the stage and try to get the light on him self
no one can replace Bob
bob had style, the 60-70 gigolo suave to him.
carey is fat glasses jackass
he is not that funny.

Hey, we're talking about replacing Bob Barker here. I mean, you could replace him with a drunken street washer, and be miles ahead in the personality department.
No one with any sense will ever notice he's gone. Like that bore that used to do the Tonight Show. Steve Allen.
Fuck, any sober Canadian will do.

The show should have retired with Bob.
That said, I want a scantily clad Christa Miller as the announcer please. And every camera should be pointed at her. I'd stay home to watch it.
