A look at the new The Price is Right - VIDEO

drew carey; the price is rightMonday is the big day for Drew Carey. He'll debut as the new host of The Price is Right. You can check out the new look in this video on YouTube (the video was taken down, try this one instead). It shows the new set and Drew doing some of his hosting duties.

What I like about the new look of TPIR is how it still looks like it's in the 1970s. The set basically looks the same, except for a new paint job. The colors have gone from primary to pastels, but the designs and graphics are still totally retro. It's all quite psychedelic.

I don't know about you guys, but I have TPIR programmed on my TiVo. I loved watching with Bob Barker, and even though I'm not totally thrilled about Drew Carey, I'm definitely going to give the guy a chance. Barker seemed like a squeaky clean guy, while Drew's more of a, well, Dirty Jokes and Beer kind of fellow.

I used to watch PIR every day and have for years. I have now watched Drew 3 1/2 times..can't take it anymore. I looks like he's having a spasm in his hands..can't keep them still. If they dont get someone else, this show is gone forever. Also, the pastels colors do NOT go well.

Please tell me you are looking for someone else to replace Bob. Drew may be ok in comedy but as a game host he stinks. He laughs (giggles) too much and comes across very nervous..Tom Bergeroff would be a good choice to consider.

Also, the blue/purple pastel scenery does not come across good.

Drew can do clean. And he has a lot more of an everyman feel to him than Barker, who was all "talk show host". No matter how well (or awful) Drew does we should all be thankful that the briefly-rumored Rosie Odonnell didn't get the gig.

AJ, Weird Al's look is more in his hair, than the glasses.

Drew Carey has talked about glasses several times. I think he got they fixed when he was still doing Drew Carey Show and he had to wear them there. But when he went out everyone would ask where his glasses were so now he just uses fake glasses. He needs the glasses.

The video is down because CBS has a version that they put up themselves:

Sure. The glasses are his trademark. He would look totally different without them, people know him looking like this and he would totally lose media attention if people wouldn't be able to instantly recognize him like they do know.
