9021-No

July 27, 2007

20070725_90210_260x220.jpgBy now the news has spread that Drew Carey will be picking up the long, thin microphone Bob Barker put down a few weeks ago, and will be the new host of “The Price Is Right”. He was quoted earlier this month to have said, in regards to who will take over: “Whoever does that is going to be an idiot or desperate for work. How would you like to fill a legend's shoes? Get somebody else." Now, of course, he’s changed his tune: “I’m going to be a game show host for the rest of my life. I had to come to terms with that.” Sounds like a guy excited to get to work, right?

But some candidates really wanted the job from the start, and they’re still smarting a bit from the Carey news. ‘Beverly Hill 90210’ actor Ian Ziering was also in contention, but was overlooked by the comedian. He told People Magazine: “For the last month, I’ve been so titillated, my family has been excited at the mere notion of me hosting ‘The Price is Right’”.

The ‘90s teen star took the high road, though, and continued: “They got a great host in Drew Carey. I’ve always been a big fan of his. I think he’s going to do great.” Steve Sanders couldn’t have said it any better himself.
