Bob Barker Didn't Mean to Slam Drew Carey

The Showcase Showdown between Bob Barker and Drew Carey might not materialize after all. After recently implying that Carey was a less-than-thrilling replacement host of The Price is Right, Barker insists that he has nothing against Carey because, well, he's financially tied to his success. "I would not criticize Drew Carey. I would not criticize this show...I have a sizable royalty that I am paid every year this show is on, and it's going on for years. I would be an absolute fool." For those hoping for a bigger fight, this goes out to you. [EW]
