‘Price’ wrong for foul-mouthed Carey?

Drew Carey is no Bob Barker. The first word Carey said to the audience during the taping for the first episode of his new prime-time CBS game show “The Power of 10,” was the f-word. Yes, that f-word.

Of course, the comedian-turned-host was just joking off-camera. He had received a syrupy-sweet introduction from executive producer Michael Davies before stepping out onto the glowing game show set and was sarcastically dismissing the lovefest.

He later apologized once he realized there was a child, the brother of one of the contestants, in the front row.

A little later, during a three-hour “Power of 10” shoot at the Kaufman Astoria Studios, Carey made an off-camera joke about his, um, anatomy.

Barker probably never made such references during his 35 years at “The Price is Right,” which Carey also has been tabbed to host.

Still, the audience seemed to warm up to Carey – or at least want to.

At the $1 million point in the “Millionaire”-style game, which debuts Tuesday on CBS, Carey – who doesn’t know the answers to the questions in advance – attempted to dissuade a confused contestant from taking his go-for-it advice by saying, “Don’t listen to me. I already have a million dollars.”

Is he going to shrug off “Price is Right” contestants by telling them that he’s already got a refrigerator, grandfather clock, trip to Mexico and a brand-new car?

Perhaps the biggest red flag was Carey’s shocked reaction when an older woman in the “Power of 10” audience revealed that she taped “The Price is Right” every day.

If he doesn’t realize how devoted those viewers are, the biggest fear about Carey as the new “Price” host may have already come true: He has no idea what he’s gotten himself into.
