  • Drew By Day; Comedy Tonight | Matt Roush | 10/15/2007
    Giggling at the antics of the slap-happy contestants who “come on down” at what he calls “the happiest place on Earth,” Drew Carey looks like he’s having a blast, and looks right at home, on the spiffed-up set of The Price Is Right as he takes over as host today. There’s no fuss and no ceremony, and outside of the introduction telling us we’re at the Bob Barker Studio in Television City, and that one of the games is still called “Barker’s Bargain Bar,” and that Carey chooses to sign off with the traditional plea to have your pets spayed, there’s no actual homage to the former host as the new Price era begins.And yet, probably the greatest tribute to Bob Barker is that the show goes on, and goes on effortlessly with its funny-looking new ringleader, who appears to be genuinely tickled at the breathless excitement of the frantic folks who come to play the game. When one of the contestants does a cartwheel after taking the stage, C... read more
  • Drew Carey: The Right Price Host | Today's News: Our Take | 10/15/2007
    Drew Carey has the cold sweats, but not because he's worried about replac­ing Bob Barker as the new host of The Price Is Right. The guy is sick — bad sick — and he's in his dressing room at CBS in Hollywood down­ing Theraflu and popping vitamins like mad. Carey really should go home, but there's no rest for the overemployed. Today he still needs to shoot two more epi­sodes of Price, then grab a plane to New York City to tape his other CBS game show, the prime-time Power of 10. It doesn't help that he's also nursing a bum wrist, which he crushed in a much-reported mishap with a turntable door during an early Price rehearsal. When he makes his on-air debut Oct. 15 (check loc read more
  • Price Is Right Vet Claims She Was Wronged | Today's News: Our Take | 10/5/2007
    Deborah Curling, who screened contestants for The Price Is Right for some 20 years, has sued Bob Barker and the show's producers, alleging they retaliated against her and forced her to vacate her post after she testified against Barker in a wrongful-termination suit filed by a former production assistant. An African-American, Curling also describes a hostile work environment where black employees and TPIR contestants were discriminated against. "Barker created an atmosphere of terror [where] any employee who complained... was fired," says papers cited by the AP.Curling's suit seeks an unspecified amount of damages/brand-new cars; a CBS rep declined to comment on the action. read more
  • On The Price Is Right, Fur Is Still Wrong | Today's News: Our Take | 8/15/2007
    The Drew Carey-hosted Price Is Right will not only retain Bob Barker's signature sign-off encouraging pet owners to keep Fido from becoming Muffy's babydaddy, it also will stick to Barker's directive to not give away fur coats as fabulous prizes, says the New York Daily News. As producer Roger Dobkowitz wrote to PETA, "The Price Is Right is very proud that we were one of the first shows to realize, through Mr. Barker, that glamorizing fur coats as prizes must stop."Now can we do something about the useless home jukeboxes? read more
