The Truth About Bob Barker And Drew Carey’s Relationship
Mark Davis/Getty ImagesIn 2006, Bob Barker announced he was retiring from The Price Is Right after 35 years.
For decades, fans watched the beloved TV host call audience members to “come on down!” to play the game, which revolved around contestants competing by guessing random merchandise prices for a chance to win cash and prizes.
Many were arguably sad to see Barker go, but in July 2007, comedian and actor Drew Carey was named the new host of The Price Is Right.
At the time, Carey told the Associated Press (via Today): “I realize what a big responsibility this is. It’s only a game show, but it’s the longest-running game show in American television and I plan to keep it that way.” He’s kept his promise because in 2021, its over 14 years he’s been successfully hosting the classic game show.
It also helped that Carey had Barker’s blessing after he shared that “he was told as long as Bob Barker is cool with it, the fans will be cool with it.” When Barker heard Carey’s comment, he confirmed he was, in fact, “cool” with him taking over as host despite not being very familiar with his work.
So, are Barker and Carey still on good terms after all these years? Keep scrolling to find out the truth about their friendship.
