And Bob Barker's replacement will be...
Drew Carey.
In a decision that's been both anticipated and feared for quite some time, the official announcement was made late this afternoon.
After some 35 years on the show, the white-headed host has hung up his mic with no clear replacement in place.
Names were floated around, including Barker's own endorsement of television's own resident moron Rosie O'Donnell.
While I must admit, Carey would not have been my first choice, he is indeed WAY farther up the food chain than big-mouth Rosie.
Thank God good judgment prevailed.
In all honesty, I'm not a big follower of the show, but if I just happened to be home on a workday for some reason and nothing else is on I might watch it. I do love Plinko.
It's kind of funny though that for the last decade all I can think of when I see Bob Barker is the line he spews at Adam Sandler after their fight in Happy Gilmore.
Good times!

I'm just envisioning him kissing all of the women! Or getting fresh with his assistants like Barker was well-known for.
Good point about Ryan Stiles and Colin Mockery. I can just see Stiles displaying prizes. It fits him well.
Drew's Divas is another good one. Since Drew's kinda hefty I was thinking "Chunky's Chicks"?
I had a similar experience with the slot machines. I've visited about 5 different casinos over the years and I refuse to spend more than about 20 bucks when I go. As you may expect, my trips are typically short and uneventful, however I'm usually much cheerier on the way home than those traveling with me.
