There’s NO WAY Howie Mandel<\/strong> could do it!<\/p>\n

Drew Carey’s<\/strong> job as host of daytime game-show The Price Is Right<\/em>, that is.<\/p>\n

Carey shakes hands, often, gets squeezed … HARD! and seems to love every second of it.<\/p>\n

The former improv and comedy star is EXCELLENT in this role, which would be no work for a germa-phobe like Mandel.<\/p>\n

Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just that Carey seems kind, decent and genuine for an entire 60 minutes as ringmaster of ‘Price’, which is no mean feat.<\/p>\n

People are constantly yelling and screaming their bids for products from popcorn to cars —the format hasn’t changed from when Bob Barker<\/strong> more coolly hosted the program—and Carey must deftly keep the show moving.<\/p>\n

The quick-thinking comedian, the show’s host for five years has to roll with things too,\u00a0 like the woman who had a t-shirt on that read “Drew’s for real, now let’s make a deal!”<\/p>\n

Carey joked about bouncing her from the show and the announcer referred to Drew as “Wayne”, a reference to ‘Deal’ host Wayne Brady<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But Carey certainly is the terrific host of The Price is Right.<\/p>\n

And that’s easy to deal with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
