When Plinko Attacks!!

TMZ has learned that Drew Carey was injured today on the set of "The Price is Right."

Sources on the set tell TMZ that today during rehearsals "Price's" new host got his arm caught in a game with some sort of rotating device. Wheel of misfortune!

Doesn't sound serious though -- we're told Carey was well enough to make his lunch appointment.

When we contacted his managers, all we were told was "He's fine and everything's OK." They had no additional info.

We've learned that Carey may see a doc this afternoon and could be back on the set later today.

One source told TMZ that Drew is back on the set, wearing a "soft cast." We're told a bruised bone is the diagnosis and he will return to see a specialist at a later date.

UPDATE: TMZ has learned that Drew got his arm caught in the revolving turntable on stage while rehearsing for the Grocery Game. While he was bruised up a bit, Carey is feeling wheely better. He's back at work joking around with crew members and even showing off his battle wounds on his iPhone! Come on down, Drew!

32. No wonder this world is in such a mess. We all are so rude to each other and never have a kind word to say. Whatever happened to treat people as you'd want to be treated.? The world has turned into get them before they get you. It's so much easier
to make comments about others instead of taking a long hard look at ourselves. If more of us did that what a wonderful world it would be.

34. I think Drew Carey will add some needed PERSONALITY and STIGMA toTPIR. It could have been real worse with the opinionated, fat-ass Rosie O'Donnell. NO ONE will ever be another Bob Barker............

36. DEAR TMZ,

YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO BOB BARKER QUITE A FEW TIMES BEFORE THEY DESIGNED IT THE RIGHT WAY, AND EVEN THEN HE HAD A COUPLE OF MORE EPISODES.

THEY COULD HAVE MADE THE GAME MUCH SIMPLER AND DIGITAL FOR THESE TIMES, BUT BARKER FELT THAT SINCE THE SHOW WAS A SUCCESS WITH THINGS THE WAY THEY WERE, THAT HE WOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO MESS WITH THE SET.
WELL, WHAT A SUCCESS IT WAS! i THINK THAT THEY WILL KEEP THIS SET FOR MAYBE A YEAR, AND THEN WHEN THE SHOW REALLY BELONGS TO DREW, THROUGH HIGH RATINGS AND (I'M SURE) AN EMMY WIN, THEN THEY WILL DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH THE SET.

SOOOO--SORRY TO DISAPPOINT THOSE HERE WHO ARE DREW HATERS--BUT THE TANGLING WAS BOB'S FATE AS WELL.

Take good care DREW! We are pulling for ya and I can't wait to see how much more fun the show will be with you in it!

38. how did he ever get that job? so many others that would have been more pleasant.

39. I will watch TPIR with Drew as host just to see what it's like without Bob Barker. It's hard to imagine that it will keep doing as well as it did all these years. I would have rather seen someone else get the job, but we'll see how it goes. I actually haven't seen the show for quite a while as it's during work hours, but love it on sick days and days off.

44. I am glad Bob Barker retired, I stopped watching that show several years ago, people
trying to jump and hug him was annoying. He was too old to hold up on his own, some
of the people were really big and fat, jumping against the old fart.

Anybody jumping to hug Drew Carey will bounce off and land amongst the audience.
In some cases, Carey will be the one who will bounce and land on the former Barker's
beauties flattening them like pancakes. Seriously Drew is a funny guy and I will have
to watch TPIR to see how he is doing,

Besides Bob Barker sexually harrased several of his models, I don't believe that all
of them fabricated any of those stories. He is a dirty old man. R E A L L Y !

45. Drew Carey was a great choice and he'll be a fine host. Bob Barker chose to retire, and it's his wish that Price is Right continues on. He also gave Carey his blessing as his successor. The nay-sayers and complainers need to get over it now.
