Drew Carey Takes The Helm
After Bob Barker retired in 2007, Drew Carey took over what is now the longest-running game show on television. His first announcement happened when he appeared on Late Night With David Letterman and talked about his new gig.
Drew told Dave, “It was like 15 minutes ago, they called me, it’s a done deal– I’m the new host of The Price Is Right.” Before his new gig, he was mostly known for his sitcom The Drew Carey Show and for hosting the comedy improv show Whose Line Is It Anyway. Bob Barker had some good advice for Drew. Bob allegedly told him, “Go out there and do that show the way you think it should be done. Don’t imitate me and don’t imitate anyone else.”
