Drew Carey, Come On Down!
Well folks, it's official: Drew Carey is the new Bob Barker. I truly had no idea he would actually be made host of "The Price Is Right" when I posted the poll this morning, but what timing! The majority of you who voted thought Carey could pull off this gig, so here's hoping you're right about that.
Could Rosie Replace Bob on "The Price is Right"?
Fresh from his final spin of the big wheel and his 19th Daytime Emmy Award win, Bob Barker kept making headlines over the weekend by saying Rosie O'Donnell could follow him as host of "The Price is Right."
In the press room after the Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony, Barker said of O'Donnell (who, by the way, actually took out a full-page ad in Variety to express interest in the job):
"She knows the show. There's no doubt in my mind she could do the show.
The 2007 Daytime Emmy Award Winners
Everyone will miss dear old Bob Barker now that he's officially done hosting "The Price Is Right," but perhaps the pathway is cleared for someone else to win the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Game Show Host, since Barker just took home his 19th award. Another popular winner at the 34th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards this year was "Sesame Street," which won Outstanding Pre-School Children's Series along with two awards for Outstanding Performer in a Children's Series (Elmo and Oscar the Grouch). Hey, it's not your favorite kids' educational program for nothing.
TV Today: Bob Barker's Last Spin on "The Price is Right"
After 35 years of Showcase Showdowns, spinning the Big Wheel and playing Plinko, Bob Barker has officially stepped down as the host of "The Price is Right." The white-haired stud's final episode at the helm of Contestants' Row airs today, but if you'll be unavailable to see it during the day, don't worry — CBS will replay the episode at 8 p.m., right before the network's coverage of the Daytime Emmy Awards.
Some fans camped out for days to get their chance at tickets for the final show, which taped June 7.

CBS Will Send Bob Barker Out in Style
Some of my earliest memories involve watching Bob Barker on "The Price is Right" in my grandma's living room, so I'm glad to see that CBS is sending the 83-year-old host off in style before his retirement this year. First, he'll be hosting a special primetime episode of the show, "The Price is Right Million Dollar Spectacular," on May 16. Then, the next night, the network will air a special tribute to Barker's 50 years in show business, including Barker's reminiscences and clips from classic "The Price is Right" games.

Steve Carell Teeing Up For the Missing Links
So I may not play golf, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good comedy based on the game. (Remember that scene in Happy Gilmore when Adam Sandler squares off with Bob Barker? Classic.) Now Steve Carell may be joining the ranks of Sandler and Chevy Chase (Caddyshack!) with a golf movie of his very own.
