“No. 'The Price Is Right' seems like more of a classic. I think by adding Drew Carey it takes that away and makes it less special.”

— Katy Berryman, pharmacy technician, Joplin, Mo.

“For me it can never be the same. I like Drew Carey, but I think anyone they put in there pales in comparison.”

— Arna Hemenway, University of Iowa sophomore, Iowa City

“It's better than Rosie O'Donnell for sure. Bob's a classic, and Drew definitely has a different personality, but I think he'll do OK.”

— Amy Williams, advertising coordinator, Lawrence

“I think Drew Carey is an OK choice. I think he can host the show, but I don't think he'll have quite the following Bob Barker did. I don't think he'll inspire the same excitement from the fans; but as long as they keep Plinko and the Showcase Showdown, they'll be all right.”

— Ed Parker, technical support specialist, Lawrence
