I am almost never home at 11AM Eastern these days. But the few times I have seen Drew
host he seemed to be doing a fine job.

Really. It's an odd question to ask after a decade - Carey has been doing the show since 2007!
Unless it's a prime time special I only see him at one or two restaurants I go to, and even then "the View" or country music videos might be on.
He has made a real effort so I can accept him. He's not the nasty host of "Whose Line" any more.

"Nasty host" works with "Who's Line?", as the nastiness is directed to other comedians.
Can't get away with that when the contestant is Doris, a 39-year old bookkeeper,
who had trekked all the way from Kearney, Nebraska to be there.

Exactly.
Maybe not. I'm just saying that style wouldn't be compatible with "Price".
I don't know whether this is the first in a series but the Marvin comic strip is making fun of Drew this week.

It's a series. Change the last digit in the date each day.
I wouldn't say this is "making fun" of Drew Carey. This just has him as host of a make believe show involving characters of the comic strip. The jokes are involving the other characters.
I guess you're right. Each day has the same introduction. But they made up a silly name for him.
TPIR is doing fine. I have noticed a definite effort to create more energy on the show. The host, the announcer, the models, all seem to be operating on a higher level. I'm sure this is a concerted effort by the programmers. The energy at times is over the top. However, I do like the variety of the games and it is still pretty good tv, but only if you have your coffee first. The funnest part of the show is realizing when a contestant has made a major error. No!!!! Overall, the last great network game show on tv today.
The show is certainly better paced now. Moving the first commercial break helped, as has minimizing the talk about the products in the pricing games. Instead of having to do a commercial for Promise margarine like Johnny Olson or Rod Roddy would, now George Gray just has to say "we have a tub of margarine" or something similar. May make it harder to get the little prizes for free but allows more time for actual games and fun.
