Cleveland's favorite son Drew Carey has been tabbed to replace Bob Barker as the host of the Price Is Right……the comedian who has had his own show, hosted whose line is it anyway and had numerous comedy bits televised replaces Barker who retired last month…
Carey's hiring is certainly good news for Mimi who plans to become a Barker's Beauty……
Carey wasn’t totally sold on taking over the long running show…until CBS dropped plans to honor Barker by having the next host spayed or neutered…..
Rosie O’Donnell was considered for the opening…..it’s reported she didn’t get the job because she wanted to make changes to the format of perhaps the most popular game show in the history of daytime television…..CBS didn’t like the idea of O’Donnell getting into screaming matches with the contestants…..
Carey plans no such changes…he did pitch one idea…..he wanted the showcase showdown winners to still take home thousands of dollars of gifts and prizes….the losers get sent to Cleveland……..
