Genial comic Drew Carey has confirmed he will replace Bob Barker as host of The Price is Right.

Carey announced he had been selected for the job of hosting the CBS daytime game show Monday at a taping of the Late Show with David Letterman.

Barker, 83, retired last month after 35 years as host of The Price is Right and there has been much speculation about who would replace him.

Carey's name was mentioned, alongside TV personality Rosie O'Donnell.

Carey, 49, has experience as a game show host as he previously was the face of Whose Line is It Anyway?, a comic improvisational show.

Carey said CBS first approached him about hosting The Price is Right after he was hired for another CBS game show, The Power of 10, that will air beginning next month in prime time.

The Drew Carey Show, a comedy in which he played assistant personnel director in a Cleveland department store, ran from 1995 to 2004.

I think Drew would do good. All the cats and dogs are more relaxed seeing someone with a beer in their hand than a knife or scissors. (Get humans drunk instead of spaying or neutering dogs and cats).

Did somebody say Drew Carrey was funny?!

If that's true then I guess Mike Bullard is hilarious.

Ugh!

I've watched many comedy bits of his and I always laughed my a$$ off. I guess everyone has different taste when it comes to humor.
