Well, after all the hemming and hawing about who was going to replace Bob Barker on
The Price is Right, we finally have a name. And, apparently, a signature pair of glasses to go along with it.
According to James Hibberd of
TV Week,
Drew Carey has been signed to host the venerable game show. CBS decided to offer Carey the job after seeing his hosting skills in action on
The Power of Ten. The plan is to have Carey announce the move tonight on
Late Night with David Letterman.

I guess ol' Reege is finally slowing down.
Last year, when he hosted
America's Got Talent, Regis Philbin was following a schedule that would tire out just about anyone, much less a 76-year-old (who, I must admit, is probably in much better physical shape than people half his age). Every week, he did his show with Kelly Ripa from his New York home base, then fly out to L.A. to do the weekend installments of
Talent. That's a lot of flying, even if it's all in first class.
But no more. There were rumors floating around that Philbin wouldn't host the second season of the Simon Cowell-produced
Talent, and those were confirmed today when schlockmeister and
Dancing with the Stars reject Jerry Springer
was named the show's host.
