Mik Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Drew Carey? It's official. I don't know what to think... I don't think I like it.
starvenger Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Well, the good news is that he's not a Bob Barker clone, or Rosie. The bad news is this could be a train wreck along the lines of having Rikki Lake hosting Game Show Marathon.
AntiLeaf33 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 I'll have to see an episode or 2 to really be able to tell if this is good or bad, or if I just don't care
razazteca Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Could of been worse it could of been Wayne Brady who isn't any good on the new karaoke game show on ABC.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 The truth is it doesn't matter who replaces Barker. Those are some huge shoes to fill.
Brett Favre Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Dan Patrick would've been perfect, but with Drew Carey it's a wait and see.
Ripper Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Could of been worse it could of been Wayne Brady who isn't any good on the new karaoke game show on ABC. A: Wayne Brady is god. B: Who would be any good on that god awful show. They should have gotten JC Chavez.
starvenger Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Dan Patrick would've been perfect, but with Drew Carey it's a wait and see. Are you kidding me? <5 second pause> Dan Patrick <5 second pause> would've caused the show <5 second pause> to be 10 hours <5 second pause> instead of one <5 second pause> Dan is quite possibly <5 second pause> the worst host <5 second pause> on ESPN Radio. <10 second pause> And yes, that DOES include Cowherd.
Cheech Tremendous Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 I supported the hiring of Dan Patrick. I'll give Drew a chance, but DP was born to take over for Barker.
Youth N Asia Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 I'm not crazy about Drew taking over...but then again, I never watch the show
razazteca Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Could of been worse it could of been Wayne Brady who isn't any good on the new karaoke game show on ABC. A: Wayne Brady is god. B: Who would be any good on that god awful show. They should have gotten JC Chavez. Joey the Fat one is the man on The Singing Bee but then again NBC has better production values. Drew Carey might work since he is perceived to be the "common man".
King Kamala Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 This man would have to disagree with Drew Carey being perceived as "The Common Man". Hell, somebody should give Dusty a game show. I'd watch it.
Vern Gagne Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 I've never got the Price is Right, or Bob Barker love?
razazteca Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 So you're not old enough to witness the greatness that was the afternoon game show during its glory years? Well let tell you something ya young wippersnapper back in the day all of the networks had game shows on instead of talk shows in the prised time slot between the daily soap and the evening news. Bob Barker was on CBS forever nearly 30 years its kind of hard not to watch The Price is Right, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Press Your Luck on a boring week day.
Vern Gagne Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 I'm old enough. I just prefered the USA network game shows.
razazteca Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Price is Right was great cause somebody would always underbid by saying $1 and never advance to the main game to play classics like PLINKO. And how can not love it when the announcer yells "A BRAND NEW CAR!" or at the end when they are doing the showcase showdown somebody overbids on the bedroom suite and the other person gets a trip to Italy, a pair of scooters, and a camper even though they underbid by $10,000! This man would have to disagree with Drew Carey being perceived as "The Common Man". Hell, somebody should give Dusty a game show. I'd watch it. Give Dusty a pair of plastic rim glasses and he could be Drew Carey!
Lil' Bitch Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 FUCK! I was hoping it would be John O'Hurley or George Hamilton instead. Oh well.
Guest Smues Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 He fought in the Royal Rumble and didn't get killed by Kane so he's earned it!
MarvinisaLunatic Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 WORST. HOST. EVER. He could have acted a little more excited than if he was watching paint dry in the corner.
Guest Czecherbear Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 Slow down the audio so it's a little deeper and slower, and it's Joe Buck.
The Tino Standard Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 I was reading about this on another forum. There was heavy suspicion that the guy was cheating somehow, but they couldn't prove it. There was actually a 45-minute delay between the time they introduced the showcases and the time they revealed who won while they looked into what was going on, so I'm sure that sapped a lot of the buzz over his perfect bid. The guy also had a perfect bid on his prize on contestants' row. My guess is that somebody in the crowd sneaked in an iPhone or something and was looking up MSRPs. I wish he would've had to bid on the other showcase, which was like 4 trips. There's no way in hell he could've scammed that with somebody in the crowd. The real shame is that the woman he beat, who DID have to bid on the trips, ended up being less than $500 off on her bid. 99 percent of the time, she'd have won in a landslide.
Conspiracy_Victim Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 Yeah that's awful suspicious. Not everyone can be Barney Stinson.
dubq Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 Only Marvin could be more upset about Drew Carrey's "excitedness" rather than the apparent scamming. Oh Marvin. I thought you left us?
Nighthawk Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 I figure the guy wasn't scamming. Is it impossible he was lucky? No. However... someone smart enough to scam and not get caught, seems like he wouldn't also be stupid enough to pretend to guess the exact price twice in the same show... or even once. Just get within a few dollars of it. Then again, his reaction to winning seems awfully phony.
Guest Smues Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 Has anyone else gone to the Price is Right Live in Las Vegas? It's hosted by the guy who hosted Supermarket Sweep and the announcer is the announcer from Supermarket Sweep as well. I went on Saturday and it was pretty fun. I didn't get selected, but it was fun to watch other people fuck up and cost themselves money and prizes.
RavishingRickRudo Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 YOU TALKIN BOUT TINO MONTE?
C Dubya 04 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 I read about this elsewhere. It seems that there are some losers out there who watch and track the Price enough to know the value of items they put up for bid. One was in the audience and shouted out the answer, which is why the producers tried to figure out if rules were violated.
Guest Czecherbear Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 It's not cheating if the reason this obsessive was able to learn all the prize packages is because the producers keep recycling the packages. Now granted, it's a daily program that's been on for years and years, so on one hand it's easy to see how things might get reused, and after all there is but a finite amount of household items you can use in pricing games, but on the other hand, Press Your Luck demonstrated what happens when you cut corners on a program watched nearly exclusively by people who by virtue of its 10 a.m. timeslot have nothing important to do. Everything's fine here. As for iPhones and any other communications devices, you shouldn't be allowed to bring them in, plain+simple.
Guest Smues Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 That and the fact that people are always looking to the audience for help and it's always been supported.
