Drew Carey and Craig Ferguson trading places April 1.

Drew Carey and Craig Ferguson have announced they will be hosting each other’s shows on April 1. Ferguson will assume hosting duties on the Price Is Right and Carey will take over the Late, Late Show that evening. Carey’s guests will be Carl Reiner, writer Connie Shultz, and Joan Jett. Ferguson, meanwhile, will bring along robot Geoff Peterson and the pantomime horse Secretariat.

This should be a lot of fun.

Wait, you mean Secretariat isn’t a real horse? How’d he win that big race then?

I’ll watch both shows.

Oh wait, I’ll be getting two cavities filled during TPIR. Bummer.

You need a dentist like mine, with a T.V. in every exam room. You’d be amazed how much easier it is to have dental work done while you’re watching a show you enjoy.

looking forward to this sounds cool

I remember when Pat Sajak and Alex Trebek did this once.

It would’ve been better if they didn’t tell about it first and just did it.

uh, did anyone notice the date? April 1??? hint, hint, hint.

I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for this switch out to happen.

I think you missed the concept here. The swap is an April Fool’s Day gag, and not the first of its kind.

I met my dentist installing the TV sets in the ceiling above his chairs. There are also headphone jacks for each TV.

The joke I make about it is, if you’re laying there, headphones on, nitrous mask on…anything happening below your nose is like war in some far off country. You know it’s probably bloody and awful, but you just can’t get all worked up about it.

Personally, I think it would be much better if Wavy, Sid, and Brian all hosted The Price Is Right, while Mimi, Louis and Oswald all hosted The Late Late Show.

I didn’t realize the swap had been done before. I was too cynical earlier. I’ll try and watch Drew host Ferguson’s show. He should do really well.

This specific one hasn’t been done before, but it sounds like other ABC hosts have done the same thing. I really enjoy Carey and Ferguson’s friendship. They crack each other up whenever they’re together. Now, if they say they’re swapping jobs permanently on the 1st - that’s an April Fool’s prank.

What would have been really great would have been if you watched The Price is Right during the filling but hadn’t seen this thread.

“Wow, Doc, I don’t know what drugs you gave me but they were amazing.”

I watched both. I liked how the prize winners on TPIR would hug Secretariat.
