Since I don't get to see The Price Is Right very often, I'll ask you all.
The last few times I've hit and skipped on TPiR, I've seen a tieless Drew Carey with unkept hair.
Has this been his regular wardrobe and hair style of choice for a good while?
Whatever happened to that jolly fellow with the crew cut and suit and tie we fell for?

He was overanalyzed and ripped to pieces by uber-fans. This is his replacement.

That's what happens when you go to a wedding reception prior to taping.

It's 50/50, he'll have a tie one day, and no tie the next. This is has been going since DiPirro took over?
-
I haven't been watching regularly enough to notice a pattern; I was thinking it was some sort of TPiR "Casual Friday." I just wish he'd lose the ridiculous soul patch.
-
I can't speak for the unkempt hair part of things, but I've definitely noticed the more modern glasses [as opposed to his trademark round-ish frames] and the soul patch. Perhaps he's trying to redefine himself; trying to shed the image of "Drew Carey the comedian" and taking on the image of "Drew Carey the game show host".
/but the comedian part of him still comes through on air

You. I like you.
I haven't seen TPiR in a looooong time (but now y'all have me curious), but I know when he's been up here for Sounders FC games, he's very much in his non-TV-star mode: no glasses, no crewcut.
(I'm goin' to the game today, and I plan to get there as early as the Sharks and Bruins will let me. Who knows, maybe I'll see 'im.)

I'm glad to know that's what you call asking for decent hosting (which, ironically enough, began happening more often once he lost the usual glasses)

I mean...we can't even discuss Drew having a tie now? Really? To me, it's just him transitioning from Drew Carey: Fictional Character to Drew Carey: How He Really Is, running parallel to the show becoming more casual and party-like.
-
I don't get why there's even a debate about this. As long as Drew hosts the show decently (which he is about half the time lately), who cares whether or not he's got a tie on?

Hi, I’ve been a member here for awhile but this is my first posting. I am looking for a safe place to; Like this new Price, like Drew (and his non-traditional wardrobe!), be glad that Barker-Roger-Bart got booted, and be able to post so without some fanbois getting hysterical. g-r.net is alot of Drew bashing, bash changes, bitterness now.
I like this new Price, I like Drew, people who work the show are happy for the first time in ages, Drew is finding his rhythm and I think the April Fools show was the best Price in a decade. Is it ok to say that here?

I'll tell you right now, you'll have a lot easier time posting your comments if you can avoid bashing other forums. Clearly, if you've been here for awhile, you know that the whole Drew thing is a sensitive topic, but yes, you're probably not as outnumbered here as you would be there. Still, at least try not to make it personal. Newcomers' posts are filtered, and not everything you say will automatically get through.

It's perfectly normal. I don't frequent g-r enough to base a comparison, but you're not required to agree with everyone here...although if you make an unpopular opinion (i.e. Drew hosts circles around Barker), you might get ragged on a bit. ;-)
Seriously, it's a pretty fun and open environment, even with the sometimes heated debates.

Anyone can edit their own posts, but I don't think that's absolutely necessary here, especially since others have already quoted you, and your editing won't change those.

I realize I'm probably walking into a very obvious trap, but I'll answer you anyway:
Gene Rayburn
Ray Combs
Bill Cullen
Geoff Edwards
Tom Kennedy
Marc Summers
Regis Philbin
Garry Moore
Chuck Woolery
John O'Hurley
Peter Tomarken
....to name a few. I'm on the fence with a number of others, namely Ross Shafer, Alex Trebek, and surprisingly enough, Drew Carey.
I just don't like what I've been seeing a lot of lately, and what I'm seeing is the attitude that there's no middle ground: either you love Drew and everything that's happened this season, or you're a "fanboi" who "craps himself" on the "sight of Bob Barker." It's friggin ridiculous.
EDIT: Forgot to put Monty Hall and Dick Clark on that list.

Now Steve, hold on here:
A) It is different to see Drew with the longer hair/casual dress. I actually don't mind it at all; I think for all the changes he might as well make his own identity. Compared to the PR pic that still has him from his first real season, if he's loosening up the hope is that it'll make for a better show.
B) You're coming from a board that dissects minutae of the show and asking why we're talking about Drew loosening up? C'mon.

Are you absolutely sure about that? I've been given the exact opposite impression - it's pretty clear to me that a lot of people are fearful for their employment right now. Hardly qualifies as "happy." (Unless, of course, you're talking about the fact that the models get named on air again)

And unless something's changed in the past week, it hasn't gotten her banned from Golden-Road, either.
Oh, and should we also be glad that, off the top of my head, Jeff Thisted, Sharon O'Daniel, and Dana Zlotky got booted? They've all been fired in the last few months for no apparent reason -- not something that strikes me as characteristic of a work environment in which people are "happy for the first time in ages."

I've said over there that I think it's goofy, too. There's a lot more important things to worry about on the show this year -- how many games are still in the rotation, who the next person to get fired is going to be, whether or not Drew is going to act like he gives a damn about the whole thing when I turn on the next episode -- than whether or not the host has a piece of silk draped in front of his shirt.

I'd sure like to know where you got that from considering that most of the news coming out of TPIR (from my hearings) is that Drew doesn't treat the employees as shabbily as Barker did.

Hi TNando, yes you're right that there are some staffers who are fearful for their jobs, with reason. But staffers know the reason Barker-Roger-Bart were booted, and those staffers who have no reason to fear are cautiously enjoying working on Price now. The crew is just plain happy because they really like Drew and the new "let's have some fun on this show" atmosphere on the set.

You have to take that thought very carefully around the guy who made the initial comment about people being 'happy.' It IS true that Drew probably isn't doing the things Bob did, however, to that person, that's a substitute for 'happy' - notice all the vitrol being thrown at GR.net over the Dobkowitz debacle? Go look on GSN and you'll see this guy doing the exact same thing over the firings of a couple models over the past 15 years.
The source I've gotten this from is someone with connections to CBS who is familiar with the situation at the show; he was the first to report at least two firings as I recall (Jeff Thisted and Bart Eskander) and has said at least twice that there is an environment of fear in the staff over who will be terminated next.

What I'm saying, though, Steve, is that how you dress in your workplace *can* make a difference in morale and how you come off. Might be good, might be bad but it still makes a difference.
I mean, don't you think that there's a logical correlation that if Drew feels more comfortable, his hosting skills are better off?
Sarcasm or not intended in the OP, it's a completely valid discussion IMO.

That's true. We don't even know why these people were canned. It was just assumed because of Drew not perhaps a bad economy and no one does anything to stop the conversation and say "Hey, we don't know for sure that's why they were let go." No the dissemination of misinformation is allowed because it fits the "agenda."

That's a good point. I noticed, too, that the first three sets of shows with Rich DiPirro directing were some of the best episodes Drew's ever done, which makes me wonder if that had anything to do with why he got rid of Bart Eskander. (As I've said before, Bart's was the one firing this year that deserved to happen.)

Your bias against me and your unwilligness to answer my questions, for two.
Steve, if your information was true then you shouldn't have any problem telling me who gave it to you. You cite these sources at Fremantle...I doubt they're sworn to secrecy.
(Sorry, Joe. Really.)

So in other words, nothing that's got anything to do with whether or not I'm right.

If you're not gonna answer a simple question without a runaround, it tells me that your information is wrong.

Or that I could get people fired if I tried to explain it -- as I've tried to explain to you a number of times, and still with no success.

Well, if there's such a problem, why do you even bother relaying said information in the first place?

Yet no one can verify your stories because of your unwillingness to reveal your sources.
Either say who you got the info from or don't bother posting it. You're not doing yourself or your source any favors.
Chances are you're probably gonna get said source fired no matter what you do.

Dude, it doesn't matter who I got the info from -- it's already been stated publicly that Drew can and does fire people. The fact that you don't want to believe that either isn't really my problem.

And when said information comes in without a source, according to you I'm instantly supposed to give it credence. Okay.
You keep on giving out information without revealing your source. I'll just file it as being full of blankety blank and we'll all move on, deal?

The difference is most of the stuff on the news can be verified.

Steve's "source." And if Steve's "sources" say it, even though no one can verify, it MUST be true!

Well, then I apologize for the major news organizations not covering The Price Is Right as closely as you might like. Golden-Road's about the best source of info you're gonna find on it, and it's not really our fault if you choose not to believe us.

No, I mean where was it stated publicly in a valid news/news media forum with a named quoted source. Please give a link to that.

That is the confirmation message. Nanny works at Fremantle and has a history of posting things like this before anyone else knows about them.
EDIT: And, uh, deleting that post so you could replace it with some snark edited into the one farther up the page turned out to be kinda pointless, didn't it?

Guys, I work for a school district. Some of us are happy with our jobs. Some of us are afraid we're going to get fired. Some of us like our superintendent. Some of us liked it better when our old superintendent was in charge. Some of us can't believe what an idiot school board we have. Some of us consider ourselves lucky that we have such a great school board looking out for us. And some of us tell a lot of this to our friends and even to acquaintances we don't know that well. And of course, when we DO tell an outsider, we tell our stories from our personal points of view, which may not match someone else's.
It's called a workplace. I hear there are a lot of them out there. Surely I can't be the only one to figure out that maybe SOME people at Price are fearful for their jobs and SOME people at price are happy because Drew makes the place so much fun and SOME people miss the way Barker used to run things and SOME people think it's never been better and SOME people think it's never been worse and some people are just happy to be getting a paycheck and leave the drama for Guiding Light. (Whoops, bad example...)
I'm sorry, but every single one of you needs to grow up a little. And this is coming from a 48-year-old man-child who has nothing better to do at two in the morning than wade through this crap, so I know what I'm talking about.
