Well, a whole lot of people are going to be pissed about The Price Is Right. Then again, Drew Carey always does seem to prefer working with people with whom he's familiar. Now it'll probably turn into a daytime game show version of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" Methinks the show is going to tank big time, once people get tired of the host and the announcer acting like oversized ten-year-olds. Pfft.
