1. He always seemed bored while hosting the show but
that's awful.

Congrats to the winner!

4. Winner had exact bid on showcase.
Edited on Thu Dec-18-08 11:16 AM by Rosie1223
and Carey shows no emotion at all. Just signs off the show.

I'm not big on gameshows myself but that was unbelievable.

7. The first bidder was $494 off (usually and easy win) the second bidder nails the exact amount

Drew Carey acts like he just wants to get his check and get in the limo

12. He's backed a lot more Republican candidates than most other Dems.

5. Considering that 99% of the people on that show are completely useless latrine fillers
and offer nothing to society, and should be summarily turned into hot dogs, I think he does a good job.

6. Out of curiosity
what do you want Drew Carey to do? Shit in his pants? Set himself on fire?

I think your concern is weird. I don't watch that program but it isn't due to Drew Carey - (I know him btw and he is a class act.)

8. Act like it was impressive or rare
He does seem like a good guy. Politics aside he does appear to be an all right guy. Browns fan too.

10. He is
a Democrat.

He just isn't very thrilled with any type of politicians - He thinks they are a bunch of gasbags. But he likes Obama.

16. He used to be
a Democrat - He may have changed his affiliation - He is into trying to get the Marijuana laws changed - I haven't seen him in years - he is a close friend of a very good friend of mine and so my affiliation with Drew is through my friend - Drew is a sincere and kind person with quite a quick wit- I have never had political conversations beyond him talking about how crazy he finds the drug laws to be. Our friend in common is a lefty who finds republican politics to be so inane and so stupid that he has no problem telling any republicans within screaming distance that they are deluded and anti American.

I think the reaction to the guy winning the double showcase was a normal reaction for a non-histrionic type of personality - Perhaps a lunging around, jumping like a lunatic reaction may have been more to the liking of some people - I find over-reactions to be insincere and annoying. One of the reason that game shows in general bug the crap out of me. The greed is overwhelming.

Drew smiled and said some nice things - he did not act like he had discovered a cure for cancer... I think, even for the lounge, it is a non-issue. But I have had plenty of non-issues so I shouldn't talk. :)

19. It might have been nice if he'd shown more emotion than the excitement of finding a pair of socks
I mean, at least a muffled "wow" would have been something...

And The Price is Right is the quintessential show for histrionic reactions, after . Drew could have tailored his response to the moment, because you can be sure that during the commercial break some staffer ran the numbers and saw that a dead-on Showcase win was unprecedented.

11. Wow that was awful.
I stopped watching when Bob left so this was my first and only view of Carey on the show and wow, I'm glad I'm not watching.

13. Drew Carey is a total snooze. Bob Barker was brilliant at dealing with contestants.

17. I was just about to object that I saw double-showcase winners when I was a kid
But then I watched the clip. Holy shit, how did that guy pull it off? Amazing!

And someone should check Drew's pulse to make sure that blood's still pumping in his veins.

20. If it ain't about him, it ain't worth talking about
He is such a boring, flat, fucking bore.

22. Didn't care for the contestant or it's all staged or he's stoned. Worse,
even Keanu Reeves would have had a more animated response, and we all know all he can do is say "Woah" in a stoic tone.

23. I was watching that show and
almost missed it. Carey still seems pretty awkward as emcee.

I think the guy should have gotten more than both showcases for the exact bid!
