Drew Carey Alive, Employed

Drew Carey, pictured above as a fourth-grader dressed as Drew Carey, officially confirmed on last night's Late Show that he's the new host of the CBS time capsule The Price is Right. Carey will take over hosting duties from Bob Barker, who has hosted the show for the last four thousand years.

There was much discussion about who exactly would be getting the job over the past few months, and even if Rosie O'Donnell was never the most likely choice, she was always the loudest - she called out show bigwigs in an interview for not approaching her, presumably in an effort to cause her fans to pressure CBS. I'm sure it would've worked great, had she any fans. Or talent, or value as a human. No joke here, just taking an opportunity to say fuck you, Rosie.

Oh yeah, Drew Carey. I care much less about ever watching The Price is Right again because of this. The fact that going from an 83 year old man to a comedian around half his age makes the show less interesting is a testament both to Bob Barker being awesome and Drew Carey being one boring, unfunny guy. Seriously, I'd rather hang out with that 9 year old dressed as him than with him.
