One overly energetic contestant flipped out -- and wiped out -- on Drew Carey's first day on "The Price is Right."
Carey, who appears to be holding his own since the departure of Bob Barker, appeared in his first episode of the game show today, and one woman just couldn't stay on her feet after she came on down.
The lady, Aura, not only showed off her gymnastic skills by doing a cartwheel onstage, she also fell flat on her ass after winning "It's in the Bag." Looks like they've waxed those floors since Barker took off!
76. It amazes me how so many silly comments are made on stories like this. Give Drew a chance and give him a boost to feel such awesome shoes as Bob Barkers;.
79. I have been on the show (Show 4041) and Drew Carey is horrible. I was appalled at his x-rated humor and extremely inane jokes. He acted like he was on the comedy stage doing a routine. Very fake and not genuine in the least bit. He stereotypes African-Americans and is a racist. He uses inappropriate dialogue during my taping. If you watch the show I was on #4041 and they have not spliced the tape- you should pay attention to the beginning of the segment in which he asks the contestants what they do for a living. I would rate him a minus ten for his performance. I was not a fan of Bob Barker and I was looking forward to a fresh face; however, Drew Carey is a face of failure for CBS and the game show.
81. Drew is definitely no Bob Barker but honestly I didnt think he was that bad. He will never be a Bob Barker type so everyone has to get a grip and realize that or else just dont watch the show. At least they didnt get "milk n cookies Donny Osmond" to do it, you talk about how a show would have died??? LOL Just give Drew a chance, he will come around.
85. Hey everybody, the star of the show are the games. People love the games. Any actor/entertainer could host the show with some practice. That's what they do. Everybody in the country envisions themself up there playing those games knowing that they could win. Bob's an icon because he did it for 35 years. Gene Rayburn of Match Game fame was an icon because he did for so long. Anybody could have done it. As far as Drew goes, he will work his way into it and be wonderful if he wants to. I hope he does, because he does have a sense of humor.
86. Drew Carey is not good at anything....He has a very dry personality, he is not funny. Anytime he has worked in television it was his co-hosts/workers who carried the shows..He sucks.
88. I guess Drew was the only one willing to take this gig. I think Tom Pergeron( spell) who is on Funniest home videos and Dancing with the Stars would have been an excellent replacement. His ad libs are priceless and he is a natural. Drew Carey always stammers and seems like he is afraid of the camera. I don't see him lasting long. How can an Icon like Bob Barker be replaced. It's like no one replaced Johnny Carson, It's just other people doing late night.
89. Bob Barker is EVIL!!!!! He is well known as a TV game show host, But he also is the head of one of the largest manufacturers of inmate clothing, supplies, etc. All made in china in sweat shops and marked up 700% and sold to prison systems and county and local jails with taxpayers money. Bob Barker is an EVIL man who exploits our system and our citizens and the inmate population!!
90. Bob Barker was the WROST, and I finally quit watching the show because of him and his smugness and insincerity. He had a great contempt, which he was unable to hide, for "Barker's Beauties" and for the contestants, at whom he practically sneered. Drew IS the right person to host the show. I'll start watching again, on my day off! Kudos to whomever saw the need for a different personality type as host for the show. Thank GOODNESS that the fans were spared a bout of Rosie!
