The new Price is Right host -- Update: It's Drew Carey

[fstorm1]

I like Olbermann very much, have for many years, back to ESPN, then his short gig at MSNBC, then his shorter gig at Fox Sports, and now back to MSNBC. My nice lady friend and I watch him just about every night.

 

That said, the one thing I don't like is his "Special Comment". The very first one he did was excellent, but they've gotten progressively worse since. Only part of the show I can't stand.

Not to turn this into a political-ish thread, but I would much prefer a Stewart interview with someone important, than say O'Really (deliberately spelled wrong) or Scarborough or just about anyone else doing the interview.

 

I don't regularily watch any cable news show,but i have seen the Scarborough quite a few times and was impressed by him.I expected the guy to be your typical very partisan loudmouth that is the norm on cable news or talk radio,but he struck me as pretty fair.

 

I get annoyed by and can't watch hosts that will be an utter hypocrite if their party or someone from their political side does something stupid or wrong,but the host will always defend them anyways.Scarborough when i've watched is willing to rip Republicans or Democrats alike and he actually has a sense of humor.

 

As for Patrick,i can't picture him doing the Price is Right.

[Chio151]

Agreed, guys like Scarborough are much more tolerable partisans.

[Big Reed]

back to the price is right. you can talk about Dan patric k in the other thread. Since obviously, he's no longer being considered.

 

how about tommy lasorda? i could really see tommy hosting that show.

 

or would the guy who's the host of LINGO take over? I've noticed he's bee n the emcee of about 10 game shows already.

 

or what about Regis?

 

or for a different appeal, Simon the Coward ?

[Oldcity]

Tommy La Sorda would be funny, but he'd screw up all the time. Also he's not young himself.

[thablingster]

Apparently the new host will be Drew Carey.

Tommy Lasorda is huge douchebag, you should hear how he treated his dying son and that would eliminate any warm feelings you had for him.

[sbrylski]

Yeah Drew Carey! I really like him and think he will do excellent! That's very exciting, I think they picked the right guy.

Fact, or urban legend though?

 

But on topic, Carey seems like a pretty good choice for the gig. He should do well, but he'll always be compared to Bob, and that'll probably get him fired or make him quit at some point.

[pogokat]

i dunno...i wish it was someone else...drew carey is too goofy...bob was a bit more sly than drew...

[sbrylski]

Drew Carey reminds me more of Rod Roddy than Barker.

[fstorm1]

Perfect choice, me thinks. Good for him. I enjoyed him immensely on "Whose Line...", still do, if there's nothing else on.

 

Which happens quite often, now that I think about it.

[dadofandrew]

Peavey, I read that in a book about Lasorda as well. I cannot recall which one, but I've thought of him as a total loser just like Joe since. He's a bigot, and it was against his own son...that's pretty bad.

[GAME05]

since when did the Price is Right become this huge and magical show that all these stars were interested in hosting? i can't imagine someone with actual talent would want to spend his days watching some random crazy lady play Plinko. That said, Drew Carey seems perfect for the gig.

[PKBadger]

More proof that Lasorda is a loser:

 

 

Lasorda likes the ladies

 

 

Note: If you're REALLY interested, do a google search for excerpts from the Madam's book. Let's just say it's too explicit for me to link to here.

[Oldcity]

Ok well I made my statement that LaSorda would be funny solely off hearing him talk in the media a few times. I didn't know anything about his personal life. Sounds like a winner.

[dadofandrew]

Actually, wasn't the Lasorda story in Moneyball?

[brewerjamie15]

how about tommy lasorda?

 

I'd have taped that show daily if he were on it. I've not seen the show in probably 20 years, but I'd have tuned in for Lasorda.
