Comedian Drew Carey confirmed to David Letterman today that he is indeed going to take over for Bob Barker as host of "The Price Is Right."
In a taping for tonight's episode of "The Late Show," Carey told Dave, "It's a done deal. I'm the new host of "The Price Is Right.'"
Drew told Dave that he found out the deal was complete while he was waiting to come out for the show. The deal is so fresh, Drew doesn't even know when he begins!

4. Drew Carey? Not a bad choice, but hard to believe he was the best to audition. I like Carey's comedy, but will the 70 somethings be as loyal to a younger guy as they were to Bob?

10. Hmmmmm...I'm not sure how this is going to turn out.
I think there were better choices, but who knows what it came down to- probably money.
Maybe he'll lose some weight from being on live TV every day. That would be good for his health. I still miss John Candy.

Anybody but Rosie...

14. That's awesome news. Although he was never on my radar for candidates, the moment he was rumored to be in the running he was the perfect choice (i.e. Daniel Craig as James Bond!) Good for Drew! Nice guys get to finish first once and awhile...

15. That's GREAT NEWS!!
How about a better pic, guyz??
Anyone other than ROSIE...but this is a GREAT choice.
Drew seems cool and inviting to the type of people who watch and go to The Price is Right
