Think he learned this from Rome? He does the same thing.

Don't be a booger eater.

That's clearly shtick, though. He's being cocky and funny. I've heard chicks and sports fans go for that kind of talk radio host

As a chick sports fan, I think Cowherd is an idiot. I definitely turn the radio off/switch the channel when he comes on. What a loser.

I used to like Rome quite a bit but got tired of his act- I'll only occasionally listen now when nothing else is on. I think it's one of those things that just wears on you after a while. He's always thought of himself as the center of the universe so it's not as if this is something that changed in him, ala he became big and thought himself bigger than he really is, but in his listeners. Kindof like a firey football coach loses his effectiveness faster than a calmer one.

However, he was one of the first really big sports talk figures and a lot of people look to him as a model on how to do it so there's a lot of copying out there.

I used to like Dan Patrick on the radio, but that was back when he was paired with Dibble. I don't think I've listened since they parted ways.

Cowherd... I'm really just sort of stunned he is still on the air.

Kornheiser. Now that was a great ESPN radio show.

Warhammer · 07-10-2007, 11:38 AM

DP was great with Dibbs. Since Dibbs left, I can take or leave the show. Only problem is the local guys at that time are crap.

Cowherd can have 10 terrible shows with maybe 2-3 good shows in between. I also love the Spanning the Globe segment. I'll listen for 10-15 minutes see if it will be good and then change.

Kornheiser was good for a while, but he started to lose interest. Especially when they started the old man's radio bit.

Logan · 07-10-2007, 11:57 AM

It's been a month already, and everytime I see the thread title I keep wishing it said "BITCH!" at the end.

'Price Is Right' still without a host

BEVERLY HILLS, California (AP) -- CBS is finding it tough to replace Bob Barker on "The Price Is Right" because he has "the biggest shoes in Hollywood to fill," CBS entertainment chief Nina Tassler said Wednesday.

Comedian Drew Carey is among those the network is talking with about the job, she said. Carey will host CBS' prime-time game show "Power of 10," debuting in August.

"Hopefully, we'll make a decision soon," Tassler told the Television Critics Association.

The search for Barker's successor has been protracted. He announced last fall he would retire in June from the show that he began hosting in 1972. CBS has been showing reruns since his departure.

"The man is an icon. He is a legend," Tassler said. "Believe me, as we knew he was talking about retiring, the search began. It's a really, really daunting task. There's everyone else in world and there's Bob Barker."

Tassler said she didn't want to discuss other potential hosts because "it wouldn't be fair to other people in the search."

I don't think he'll last more than a few years.

Young Drachma · 07-23-2007, 10:51 PM

Not a bad choice, though. Of all of the ones they had.

Lathum · 07-23-2007, 11:28 PM

What happened to Dan Patrick?

ISiddiqui · 07-24-2007, 12:09 AM

And Carey just said it on Letterman.

Interesting.

Tyrith · 07-24-2007, 12:34 AM

I like this more than I would have a lot of other choices. He's got charisma and I think he'll keep the show lighthearted. A lot of the other guys seemed like they would have been stiffs.

Ksyrup · 07-24-2007, 12:37 AM

I agree, he's a solid choice since there isn't a clear-cut person and they are having to replace a legend.

sterlingice · 07-24-2007, 09:09 AM

Same with everyone else. It's a "decent" choice- nothing to wow, but not disappointing either.

SI

sterlingice · 03-31-2009, 11:34 AM

I thought we had discussed this a few more times- evaluating his performance- but I can't find the thread. I've been home sick the last two days and have watched TPIR. Carrey seems a lot more comfortable as host and appears to have grown into the role. There are still the occasional awkward moments but they're a lot less than before and he seems to feel a lot more confident about his role.

SI

Honolulu_Blue · 03-31-2009, 11:41 AM

About a year ago I found out that my aunt (through marriage) is good friends with Drew Carrey. I guess they went to highschool together in the Cleveland area. My aunt, unclue and two cousins visited him in California a while back. Apparently he's super nice. He bought them all iPod Touches.

That's all I have on this topic.

He seems to fit fine. I've seen it a few times over the past year or so and while he's no Bob Barker, I don't know of anyone else that would've wanted the job that would've done as well and made it more about the show, rather than about themselves.
