Not to be a stickler, but Carey is actually the 4th host of The Price Is Right. Dennis James hosted a prime-time syndicated version of the show from 1972-1977. Carey is the 3rd host of the daytime version of the show, though.

It is puzzling to me that people are so interested in doing all this research,but thanks I guess.

I'm a big fan of TPIR and thought that nobody could fill Bob's shoes. But Drew Carey has won me over. It's good to hear that the ratings haven't suffered from Bob's exit.

"the longest running American game show in the world"

Something funny about that sentence.

Look at the old Bill Cullen episodes on YouTube. The show was very different. For one thing, Cullen had a polio-related limp, so he never moved around on camera.

“Come On Down!” is a film about game show culture, the American dream, and the once-in-a-lifetime experience of hearing the words, “Come on down!” Please join us on facebook for updates!

Tom Kennedy and, regretably, Doug Davidson have also hosted syndicated versions of The Price is Right. Dick Van Dyke turned down the role of host of the original version.

BTW, the reason why Drew Carey looked so angry on the perfect bid show is because he thought the episode would never air.

@Alfonzo: Interesting and I could see how that makes sense.

I'm for Carey, it seems to have chilled him out. Thats the role though, you're playing second to the prizes and the real star is people's excitement. He's not as suave and charming as bob. I think he gets kisses out of tradition.
