Drew Carey – Price is Right

Last week there was speculation and rumors flying that Drew Carey would replace Bob Barker on the longest running game show on TV, The Price Is Right.

Well, let’s put that one to rest. Drew made an announcement on David Letterman that he is in fact the new host.

Congratulations to Drew. This should liven up the show a bit, lol.

The Bill Engvall Show

I can’t remember the last time I was actually looking forward to a new show. Now with that said, there is certainly a 50/50 chance it will be a flop. Comedians coming from stand up to television have either been a smash, such as Jerry Seinfeld and Tim Allen, or a total flop, like Jeff Foxworthy.

I am not sure that the reason for their success or failure can totally be put on their shoulders. Although the material seems to wrap around their past routines, it still takes a lot more than just good stand up to translate to a successful show. Like, supporting cast members, production and PR.

Here’s hoping that The Bill Engvall Show is a smash, he has been my favorite comedian for years and I think he has what it takes to make the move to sitcom.

Good luck to Bill Engvall!

The premiere is tonight, Tuesday July 17, 2007 on TBS at 9/8c.

During lunch I caught the Taryn Southern video, Hot For Hillary, it’s pretty funny. Taryn was a season 3 American Idol contestant.

Larry King

Just recently I have been watching more of Larry King.

2 interviews Larry did this week were about as far apart as you can imagine. First he interviewed Paris Hilton and it was obvious that he earned his pay for that one. There is not an hours worth of material in Paris Hilton.

Then later in the week he interviewed Robin Williams, now that was a treat. Robin Williams has always been amazing to watch. I can not think of another individual that can keep your interest live anytime anywhere for any length of time.

They are now replaying Larry King each day at 11am EST for those of us who are too old to stay up, thanks CNN.
