In 2007, Drew Carey was approached to host The Price Is Right, a role he initially turned down due to his desire for a more relaxed lifestyle after his time on The Drew Carey Show. However, he was intrigued by the prospect of owning a Major League Soccer team and the financial opportunities that hosting the show could provide.
After a conversation with a producer about his love for giving generous tips at restaurants, Carey had a change of heart. He saw the potential to make people happy by giving away prizes on the show and decided to take on the hosting role.
