Is ‘The Price Is Right’ Boring With Host Drew Carey?

Posted by on Jul 28, 2010 | 6 Comments

Back in 2007 Drew Carey took over the reins from Bob Barker for the host of  ‘The Price Is Right’ television game show. Bob Barker had previously hosted the program for 35 years before retiring.  But does Bob Barker like the new host? In an on the street interview Bob Barker stated:

“He does the show differently than I did,” Barker told TMZ, “I tried to make the show really exciting, and he doesn’t do that. He just plays the games.”

Though I am not an avid viewer of the game show, the times I have watched the show, I personally thought that Drew Carey was doing a good job. Yes, he has a different style compared to Bob Barker, but I personally do not think that it really matters. The show is basically the same since it is the contestants and their antics that make the show worth watching and not the host.

Just my two cents.

What do you think?

Comments welcome.

    An excellent article about “The Price is Right” from Esquire magazine: http://www.esquire.com/print-this/price-is-right-perfect-bid-0810

    It talks a little about how the game show has changed since Carey took over.

    I feel Drew is much better and much more exciting than Bob. He was once great but. I think in the end he was past his prime and I would bet on the fact that the models thought he was very creepy and thank god every day he’s gone

    I think Bob is having some memory issues. While I do like Barker he never made the show exciting. Drew is doing a fine job, but honestly I think it’s a waste of his comedy talent to be doing a game show. Who watches this stuff besides people in a rest home or me once in a blue moon when I am home sick from work.
