Buzz Gift Guide: Gifting Granny

It can be hard to think of entertainment-related gifts for grandmas because of generational (not to mention maybe technological) gaps.

Drew Carey Comes On Down Today
The Price Is Right starts its 36th season today with a whole new look — and, of course, a whole new host. Drew Carey is now at the head of contestants' row following Bob Barker's retirement this spring, and I'm curious to see how he does with one of the most iconic jobs on TV.
Carey isn't the only thing new about this season of Price.
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 Drew Carey Host "The Price Is Right"?
Now that we've stopped reeling from the possibility of Rosie O'Donnell inheriting Bob Barker's hosting gig on "The Price Is Right," the next rumored name making the rounds is Drew Carey.
Variety is even reporting on the speculation, saying "Carey makes a lot of sense for the Barker job, given his mainstream, blue-collar appeal. His comic roots — and a past gig on the ABC improv show 'Whose Line Is it Anyway' — also give him the ability to think quickly on his feet."
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.
