Drew Carey Injured on 'Price' Set

[Brian Damage]

Who knew that coming on down could be hazardous to your health?

New 'Price Is Right' host Drew Carey suffered an arm injury while rehearsing on the set. TMZ reports that it was his arm that was caught in a moving part of a grocery game.

Carey was taken to Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Hospital as a precaution but was released and returned to the set. New episodes of the game show staple began taping with Carey earlier this month.

He was pretty lucky this time around; but he will have to be more careful in the near future. I'm looking forward to seeing him as the host but no matter how good he will be and everything; he will never be as great at it as
"Bob Barker" who will always be remembered and loved for being a host.

It's beginning to seem like Drew is cursed as the host of the Price is Right. All I've been hearing lately is bad publicity about him. Hope things get better!

Just for the record the show has not began production on the new season yet. As I have been saying the 1st show tapes on Wed the 15th!!! That part of the article is factually inaccurate.

Apparently what happened was they were rehearsing the grocery game & drew got just a little to close to the turntable & as the game was coming around the turntable, it clipped him. He will be in a cast for a few days but the word I am getting is that he will not have it on when he tapes the show for real starting wed.

Take care of that arm, Drew!!!!

TMZ has learned that Drew Carey was injured today on the set of "The Price is Right."

Sources on the set tell TMZ that today during rehearsals "Price's" new host got his arm caught in a game with some sort of rotating device. Wheel of misfortune!

Doesn't sound serious though -- we're told Carey was well enough to make his lunch appointment.

When we contacted his managers, all we were told was "He's fine and everything's OK." They had no additional info.

We've learned that Carey may see a doc this afternoon and could be back on the set later today.

One source told TMZ that Drew is back on the set, wearing a "soft cast." We're told a bruised bone is the diagnosis and he will return to see a specialist at a later date.

UPDATE: TMZ has learned that Drew got his arm caught in the revolving turntable on stage while rehearsing for the Grocery Game. While he was bruised up a bit, Carey is feeling wheely better. He's back at work joking around with crew members and even showing off his battle wounds on his iPhone! Come on down, Drew!

[Mr. Morrison86]

Well,in the TPIR Set,i'm glad it's still a turntable,but in any event,i'm glad Drew is okay,i'm glad he's ready to go on Wednesday.

[catlover79]

At least he seems to be doing OK.

[Lee G]

I think Drew Carey was a rotten choice to host Price Is Right. He's too much of a clown. I don't think he'll last that long. No way will he last 35 years like Bob Barker did. I give him more like 5 years tops and he'll be out. The only person who would have been a worse choice is Rosie O'Donnell.

[80sTrivia]

I'm glad he wasn't seriously injured. I don't believe Bob Barker was ever injured on the set during his entire four decade tenure as host!

Except for the heavy set woman from Samoa who attacked him on stage. She won her prize and got a little too exuberant, lifted Bob up off his feet and gave him a big bear hug. I think Bob said the hug gave him sore ribs and a sore back. Ever since that incident he ran away each time a contestant tried to get near him and he was especially fearful of women from Samoa.

Drew Carey's Injury Pics

DREW CAREY, the new host of "The Price is Right," was hurt on the set during a rehearsal last week and ET has brand-new pics of his injuries, courtesy of the Los Angeles radio station, KROQ.

After the on-set incident on August 10, Drew was taken to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in L.A. as a precaution and, after being treated, returned to the set to finish rehearsing. The actor was recently named as the replacement for BOB BARKER as the host of "The Price is Right." Barker retired in June after 35 years as the host of the daytime CBS staple.

Carey's most recent TV hosting gig was for "Whose Line is it Anyway" from 1998 to 2006. He also starred in his own sitcom, aptly named "The Drew Carey Show," from 1995 to 2004.
