Drew Carey: The Right Price Host

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.

CBS Adds More Power, and Other Coming Attractions

CBS has greenlit another, six-episode cycle of Power of 10, to air sometime during the 2007-08 TV season.... Also per Variety, CBS has scheduled for Nov. 30 My Night at the Grammys, a two-hour special tied to the awards show's 50th anniversary and featuring 25 memorable performances from past Grammycasts. The playlist will be determined by online voting at MyNightAtTheGrammys.com through Oct. 7.... ABC has nabbed rights to Duel, a French quiz show that combines a standard question-and-answer format with the bluffing elements of gambling. Meaning, I would suck at it.

In this TVGuide.com Q&A, Carey sheds light on his good fortune, sets straight some wild rumors and shares his take on a scandal that has him barking mad. TVGuide.com: Power of 10 — is it more Card Sharks or Family Feud?Drew Carey: Neither one. This is what we have in common with Family Feud: a type of poll w
