Host Drew Carey will debut as the new host of "The Price Is Right", when the show has it's 36th season premiere on Monday, October 15, on CBS. Carey was recently named host of television's long-running game show, succeeding former host Bob Barker, who retired in June after 35 years on the show.
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 "The Price Is Right" theme and appearance.
Carey, a stand-up comic turned actor and producer who is best known for having two hit shows simultaneously — "The Drew Carey Show" and "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" — is also the host of the "Power Of 10," a high-stakes, prime-time game show where contestants compete for the chance to win $10 million. He was also a producer and host of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" which continues to air in syndication.
"The Price Is Right" won the 2007 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game/Audience Participation Show, and is television's longest-running game show.
