Quoting the press release, “The new season will start out with some exciting wins, as several contestants make some lucky spins on the big Wheel. Others have the chance to win some of the most expensive cars ever given away on the show, as well as trips to exotic locations and more amazing prizes. In addition, the familiar set has been refreshed to give it an updated look while keeping the recognizable PRICE IS RIGHT theme and appearance.â€<< If you check out the website, they have a picture of the new "doors", slightly different, but keeps the traditional look of TPIR.

For the next 35 years, Carey is going to be mimicking Bob Barker. And it doesn't matter how the new host handles things; they're never going to match up to Bob. It's kind of a lose-lose situation.

Drew didn't ask for shout outs on "Whose Line" or "Power of 10," so why he's doing it on TPIR is interesting. It just seems like something more suitable for radio or MTV's TRL rather than TPIR.
