Fox News
"The Price is Right" host Drew Carey said he knew he had "big shoes to fill" after Bob Barker retired in 2007, but he said he wanted to make the game show his own.
"Bob Barker is two-thirds. I’m still the new guy!" he joked after he was told that he has hosted one-third of the show’s run. "I want to honor the show — certainly — and not forget about the importance of him and the path that he blazed. It’s very important to keep the memory of Bob alive. I’m not replacing anybody. I’m just doing a show that he used to do."
Barker retired from the show after 35 years in 2007 and died two years ago. He was 99 years old.
