Agreed. I'm not even a fan of The Price is Right, though Barker was likable enough. I've never liked Drew Carry, though... he's just so annoying; and never funny no matter how hard he tries.

Well, I haven't seen the show in quite a while. It was a favorite of mine as a child (I was really obsessed with game shows as a kid). A favorite, not my favorite game show. And that voice of his... it's just unforgettable. Kind of a cultural touchstone. But, you know how kids are. Not always the most perceptive of people. Also, that grey hair. Though of course, one of the last things I would have used to describe him would have been warm and inviting.

He certainly portrayed one in Happy Gilmore.

I know what you mean.

I'd actually start watching the show if there were rattlesnakes! :lol:
Like, running around chasing the Display Girls? Or, loose in the audience somewhere?
