Apparently Drew Carey is the new host of The Price is Right. Good choice, or does it not even matter anymore?

drew carey was a horrific choice.

drew carey was a horrific choice.

Well if you look at some of the potential replacements, maybe Drew Carey wasn't that bad of a choice. You had George Hamilton, Mario Lopez, Dave Price, John O'Hurley, Rosie O'Donnell, Ian Ziering, Dan Patrick (who I would have picked), Mark Steines, and Todd Newton

Could be worse

Drew Carrey doesn't seem to fit the whole Price is Right them but what ev.

Dan Patrick? Who is that? not the ESPN radio Dan Patrick, right?

Should've been Mario Lopez.

Yup Avvie. The ESPN Dan Patrick has been mentioned.

I think they should've just canned the show. Bob Barker was that show.

Yeah, they shouldn't have kept it going. They should have taken it in a different direction, which it sounds like they may be doing with Drew Carey.

Bob barker is not a damn comedian, never was. The job does not involve cracking jokes or being a smartass.

Maybe a sports guy would have been good for this because they are enthusiastic and exacting in their approach but with some humor . Dan patrick, keith olberman, rich eisen would do well i think.

The replacement can't be someone too young, can't be someone who has a mental problem or has an axe to grind. Thje fact that rosie odonnell would even be thought of for this job is really stupid.

Carlos Mencia woulda been my choice

Normal guy approach: Jim bob walton come on down. Ok jim tell us what you think the price of that maytag washer dryer is. Now you sally, ted, joan, chris. Chris is the closest come on up here. Now chris if you can guess the price of this car within $100 you win it!

Carlos mencia approach: Jim bob white mother bleeper come on down. Ok cracker non latino what is your bid? I'm latino you know. Sally, ted, joan, chris. Jim bob you win you white mother cracker. Did you know i'm latino jim? Hey you folks out there i'm latino and white jim can win this car! Nice bleeping car. What a mother bleeper you are jim to win that car. Yo way to go homes. I'm latino you know?

Mencia is one of those foul mouthed comedians who just happens to be honduran born so he has to keep reminding everyone of that. I hate that crap and it never is funny. That is why i can't stand dave chappelle who has a mental problem about his race.

So if you have not guessed yet i don't think mencia would be good for thr show.

Mencia is a hack.

See the other thread in the archives for why mencia is terrible. I hate that guy and won't watch any of his stuff on tv out of principle now.

Makes no difference to me.

I rarely watch the show.

lmao @ the Mencia hate train :ha:
I'll give a dollar to whoever took me seriously

I didn't take the suggestion seriously, but I'll gladly take any excuse to badmouth mencia.

price is right was a great show, they just killed it with drew carey.

You know, I think we just hit on an untapped american market. R rated game shows. I think I would watch it price is right if someone like Andre Dice Clay hosted. Come on down with have a whole new meaning. A cursing host would add the kind of drama I need to watch it now. Either way, the end is near. It's like taking Bob Saget off America's home videos. While he sucked ***, he was the awakard reason we liked it. We loved to hate him. When he left, the show died.
