I figured Drew appearing on David Letterman meant something. Here's the official word.

I don't think it's a bad choice, as I opined back in June. He's a big name and he's got game show (ish) cred. I imagine his first few weeks will be dicey but he'll get into a groove, so we shouldn't judge him by the first few tapings.

The big question is, is he willing to stay for the long haul? The show can probably go on forever, so has Drew Carey decided to table any bigger plans for his career and settle in for a long run as a game show host? The show's schedule will definitely allow him to do standup and maybe even another sitcom simultaneously, but if he wants to get into movies or whatnot that could be tough.

At least the search is over! Apologies to my desired pick, Todd Newton, who always seems to be one step away from making a really big break. He's still a young guy with a lot of talent so I think we have definitely not heard the last from him.
