The Price Is Right: Woman Triumphs at Plinko, Fails at Bladder Control
CBS's official description of this video is "This womans LOVES Drew Carey, and Plinko. She also really needs to use a restroom." And you know what? I can't really say it any better. Though I kind of wish that I hadn't just heard a grown woman use the word "potty" on national television. Oh, Marie. Dignity costs nothing.
I had some initial skepticism about Drew Carey's ability to fill Bob Barker's shoes, and his whimpy "sorry, tell it to Roger" approach to Plinko enforcement doesn't do a lot to alter that. But Carey does score points from me when he briefly references the 1979 UK #1 "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick," by Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Just keep referencing the obscure BritPop, Drew. And maybe you'll be okay.

Drew Carey Says "The Price is Right"
It's not often that television beats the Internet to breaking a story. But Late Show With David Letterman had a distinct edge -- Drew Carey was waiting in the wings for his interview when he got the call confirming his new gig as host of The Price is Right.
Drew Carey has always seemed a little... how best to put this... dickish? So it's hard to tell what kind of change this will mean for that most genial of game shows. But perhaps a nice steady daytime gig will be just what he needs to settle down -- and keep his Bergdorf's-bound girlfriend happy.
