‘Don’t Let The Show Be Canceled With Me’: Drew Carey Gets Honest About Taking Over The Price Is Right From Bob Barker -- 'That Was Amazing': After Price Is Right's Epic Showcase Showdown, Drew Carey Was Floored Again By All-Time Game Win Drew Carey doesn't see his time performing hosting duties for The Price Is Right to end any time soon. The comedian/actor has been a part of the much-beloved game show since 2007, and he has found a niche for himself following in the footsteps of the legendary Bob Barker. In fact, if it's up to him, Carey wants to continue being the face of the CBS program until his heart stops pumping and his brain ceases.
One perhaps would not blame Drew Carey if he were to say that his time as the host of The Price Is Right is numbered, as doing anything for the better part of two decades is an impressive run, but the reality is that the opposite is true. TV Insider recently asked him how he feels about being the longest-serving game show host currently on air (with Pat Sajak having recently retired from Wheel Of Fortune ), and Carey offered his career goal as part of his response: I just show up and punch the clock and hope I have a job every day. I don’t think in terms of I’m the longest one.
I do have a goal: I want to keep going until I die. This is my 18th season. I’ve got to get the 35 and 41 so I can catch Bob Barker and Pat Sajak.
As noted by Drew Carey, Bob Barker hosted The Price Is Right for 35 years and Pat Sajak hosted Wheel Of For.
