Price Sends Drew on Down to Hospital
Is the curse of Bob Barker already at work?
We're not sure if it's time for Drew Carey to start honing his voodoo, but apparently The Price Is Right isn't taking too kindly to its new host.
Carey was injured on the set Friday while rehearsing the Grocery Game, a classic challenge that requires contestants to guess the correct price of household goods.
While operating the game's spinning turntable, Carey somehow got caught up in the machinery, hurting his appendage.
He was examined at an area hospital and later returned to work with his hand in a splint, according to a CBS spokesperson, who said Carey was "very proudly showing people photos of the injury on his iPhone."
Carey was announced as Bob Barker's successor on the long-running game show last month, following the former host's retirement after 35 years on the job.
"The nicest wish I can have for Drew is that The Price Is Right is as good for him as it was for me," Barker said in a statement after Carey's hiring was made public.
Seeing as Barker managed to make it through three and a half decades on the show unscathed, it seems Carey has his work cut out for him.
The new host was chosen from a pool of contenders that, among others, included Rosie O'Donnell, George Hamilton and John O'Hurley.
His first Price outing is due to air next month.
Carey also serves as the host of CBS' new prime-time game show Power of 10, which debuted last week.
