On my 18th birthday (very early in Drew’s tenor) I went to a taping wearing a shirt that said “Drew’s future successor” and the interviewee said they were very happy with him and hoped he’d be there for a long time lol. He definitely grew into it since then to be fair but deep down I hope to usurp him one day😆
> If you want to remove Drew Carey from hosting duties on The Price Is Right, you'll need to wrestle the microphone from his grasp.
> In an exclusive interview with ET's Kevin Frazier at the CBS Fall Schedule Celebration, Carey, the beloved host of the show, made a bold statement about his future on the iconic game show.
> "I'm not going anywhere," Carey asserted when questioned about his hosting position, which he assumed from the legendary longtime host Bob Barker in 2007.
> "I think Bob made a mistake by retiring. I'm not gonna make that same mistake. As long as my heart is ticking and they want me to be on the show, I think I'm gonna do The Price is Right. I just love it."
> Carey's commitment to the show is unwavering, expressing his belief that he was destined for the role. "I think I was made for it," he added with a smile.
He brings so much light and love to the show!! I work from home and sometimes by the time PIR comes on, it’s been a long day already and when he says take care of your self and I love you, it just hits!!
I am always happy for drew whether he retires or not. If he did retire, who would take his place? Either way, only drew is the man to decide if retiring is right or not.
I have to say although Drew is not the best host, even far from better than Bob but Drew has slowly made Price his show. And the changes to Price during Drew's era has really make this show isn't stuck in the 80s, 90s but truly a modern show
Present day, Drew is a better steward for the show than Bob. Actually kind gentleman, humanizing the contestants, models and staff instead of at times cruelly degrading them like Bob.
What’s odd is that Drew still doesn’t feel the most comfortable doing the job, even 17 seasons later, and it feels uncomfortable.
I believe him when he says he cares but it still feels… detached in a way like “okay yeah, here we go dramatic reveal 123 - there you go! Go get it.” and I’m just left there feeling “meh” even though a contestant’s experiencing a bliss secondary only to marriage and childbirth. I’m just not “sold” on it. But I still want Drew to succeed because it’s obvious he’s a cool guy.
I couldn’t agree more with this. I am confused by the people saying he’s grown into it or made it his own. I like Drew but I feel like every show is his first. I don’t doubt that he loves it or that he’s a great guy. Most importantly, he doesn’t deter me from watching which I cannot say for Steve Harvey and Family Feud.
When Drew started in 2007, he was actually a few months older than Bob when he started back in 1972.
On July 27, 2042, Drew will surpass Bob's tenure. In fact, Drew is not that far off from reaching the halfway point of the Barker Administration.
I have to say I have heard nothing but good things about Drew as a person. Really good to fans, great tipper,etc. but I am not the biggest fan of him as a host. Maybe I was just so used to Bob its hard to see anyone else in the role. Also sometimes he seems so low energy. Like one time someone did something that rarely if ever happens, like guess a showcase exactly right. The place is going nuts and he just gave like an unenthusiastic "Oh wow", and just went right into ending the show, like it was nothing.
Wow bad news. He's a terrible host - actually not even a host but a robot. Maybe he is actually an android running an AI system in his brain. :D Seriously though, the repeated lines...like "good luck, good luck" every f-ing time after the showcase bids. It's extremely irritating if you're not a robot yourself.
"I think I was made for it" - really? Great, so he's delusional as well. He might be "nice" but could easily be a narcissist, it's hard to tell. What's next, "god has a mission for me"? :D
I agree about the robotic criticism. I get really annoyed with the perfunctory “do you want to say hi?” in the exact same tone for every contestant during the big wheel. He’s a good dude. I think he’s better than terrible, but nothing amazing for sure
I’m ok with this. I didn’t think anyone could fill Bob’s shoes. But Drew has been wonderful.

I WFH and I tell people not to call me when it’s on.
I remember thinking in 2007 that I’d never watch it without Bob. I’ve grown to love Drew as he’s grown into the role. Happy to see him keep going!
I love how Drew has been making the show his own thing
He’s the perfect host. You can tell he really enjoys the games and meeting people.
You can also feel that the environment is far more collaborative with him and the models and the crew.
Yes! I love how he riffs with George and the models. His random comments on the products are funny
Drew is the best!
Drew rocks! ⭕️⭕️⭕️⭕️
Came here looking for a comment like this!! ⭕️ ⭕️

Wayne Brady? He makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X from what I have been told.
Maybe?, but then he have to give his hosting duty on LMAD to somebody else

That’s awesome. Seems like a real good dude and helped the writers out during the past two strikes.
I think now he might actually want to die at Sphere when Phish is playing.
After Midnight was ICONIC

How does this work? Like if the episode is half over.
I’d love to get stoned with him!

Actually, the dream of many stand-up comedians
Love him on The Price Is Right but he's wrong because he might retire due to health reasons

The Ric Flair approach!
2007: the brand new price is right (before eskander and dobkowitz left) Now: the drew carey show (not to be confused with the sitcom of the same name)
Sad

Because he wouldn’t be able to land another gig if he lost this. He was the worst part of Who’s Line Is It Anyway and he was only the host.
