    It is very sad and boring watching tpir now. I always LOVED it until now. I agree with the so many others that said that Drew looks like he hates his job. He looks like he is watching the clock until he gets to leave. Oh, it is sooooooo horrible now.

    Take Drew out of his misery as well as the viewers. Nothing personal against Drew, but he is NOT the right man for TPIR.

    I watched it for the first time the other day since Drew took over. It was so bad, I really thought the strange way he was acting was a big joke. I had to think if it was April Fool’s Day.

    I haven’t seen the show in a very long time, but I’m tuned in to the $1000000 show right now…and I really want to change the channel. In fact I have…Drew Carey is not the right person for the job. He has no enthusiasm in his monotone voice and if it wasn’t for the “Barker Beauties”, it looks like he’s ready to fall asleep right on stage. Sorry Drew!

    Why not Todd Newton over Drew Carey? Todd hosts the road show version and has game show hosting experience. Ditch Drew!

  • Sharon

    Drew Carey is not the right man for this show. He is very boring and has no enthusiasm. I almost fell asleep tonight watching him give away the Big Showcase!! What happened to the Drew Carey we know from the Drew Carey show??

    Drew Carey is the most boring game show host I have ever seen. He needs to go. Maybe they should have had a reality show to choose the next host. He has no enthusiasm and appears to be unhappy or bored.

    What’s wrong with Drew Carey hosting The Price is Right? He’s doing a great job!

  • Lois

    Drew Carey is insipid. He puts down people. The other day, he asked the occupation of a person and was told “marketing.” Drew’s response: “Marketing! Ladeeda.”
    Drew Carey is stupid. He thought Africa was a city, then corrected it, laughing, to “oh, it’s a country.”
    Drew Carey is unseemly to look at. He doesn’t need to bounce up and down with the contestants like a fat Teddy bear.

  • Josh Taylor

    I know he did great in all. But, I think I heard the audience booed at him. Todd Newton would’ve made the cut.

    Drew has done a great job. Just because he’s not another Bob doesn’t mean he needs to go. Drew seemed a little stiff and uncomfortable early in the season but he’s just fine now. One thing I really like about him is the obvious excitement he feels when someone wins something big, he absolutely loves it.
    Don’t get me wrong here because I loved Bob, but he just didn’t seem to be very friendly to the guests. He didn’t want them touching him or talking too much and he would get upset with them if they didn’t follow his instructions exactly as he stated them.
    I also think Drew is a very funny person. I noticed that the audience didn’t react well to his jokes at first but now they’ve completely warmed up to him. He pokes just the right amount of fun at the show, the guests and himself. It was also very classy of him to make very few changes to the set and to close with Bob’s closing line about getting pets spayed or neutered. I wish him the best of luck!

  • MaryJane Wilcox

    I love Drew. It is refreshing to see someone as excited as the guests are. And funny.

    I think Drew Carey has done a horrible job at hosting the Price is Right. I am a game show fanatic, and I think I have several better choices for a host. John O’Hurley, current host of Family Feud, or Chuch Woolery, current host of Lingo, former host of Scrabble and others, would have been much better. I even loved watching Tom Kennedy when he hosted the nighttime version in the 80s. What was the thought process behind choosing Drew? Drew is very unexciting, very boring, and in case you have not noticed, he is NOT even funny (How did he make it as a comedian?). Not to mention, the games on Price are not hard to learn, and his explanations of them are very poor. Hate to sound so brutal, but for as great a show as Price is, I have a very hard time watching this tragedy version of Price.

    Drew is so incredibly lame compared to Bob – he has zero personality and you can tell he was the clown that was picked on starting at age 10 all the way thru 25. Talk about lack of personality – someone wins a car and it is almost like he is bored being there. Bob was sooooo superior!
