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!

46. Please get better because you're my daddy's twin and if you don't I will cry all my tears out and I won't be able to laugh hard anymore. (I'm 8 years old)

47. To No. 52:

From the very beginning, Bob made it clear that he had NO role in choosing TPIR host. Published reports at the time of Drew's signing indicated only that Bob wishes Drew well and that the two will meet for dinner. This is common courtesy; please do not confuse it with an endorsement. Hopefully someone from CBS or the production company will confirm this on this website.

48. *************** OUCH!!! ***************

Unfortunately, Drew Carey makes a better comedian than a gameshow host.

His other new show, "Power of Ten" is sooooooooooo boring and he's way too talky and long-winded. I don't think it will last. Hopefully, he won't be the "death" of "Price" either.

50. I recall Carey being on either the Letterman or Leno show being very angry, hatred was pouring out of him, letting the world know how he felt about Clinton and Lewinsky's affair. This guy was ranting as if he were virgin pure. It's hard for me to watch any of his shows because all i see is his anger under it all.

51. To all those who dissed Bob, their will never be another TPIR host quite like Bob Barker, I enjoyed watching him for several years. I'm anxious to see how Drew does, but he will never be as good as Bob.

IMO, there are a lot of people who would have better choice than Drew; Regis Philbin for one.
