Come on Down...Drew Carey?

A few weeks ago, I wrote up a list of potential Bob Barker replacements. Drew Carey was not one of them.

I did not forget to include him on the list.

CBS announced that Drew Carey will be the new host of "The Price is Right." It could have done much better.

Drew Carey is a stand up comedian. Bob Barker was a stand up guy. His jokes were lame, but it didn't matter. There was a certain aura that surrounded Barker, which made the show so popular. He had the voice, the hair, and the admiration of all the ladies.

Carey is funny, but he is no way lovable. Furthermore, compared to Barker's majestic voice, Carey's is nasal and annoying.

Could Carey take on Happy Gilmore? No way.

It will be interesting to see if "The Price is Right" can survive. I tend to believe that Barker was bigger than the show.
