Fans of the iconic game show The Price Is Right are concerned for the safety of host Drew Carey, so much so that one person suggested the producers give audience members a warning prior to the taping of the show.
“Before the show tapes, do they announce to the audience, if you make it on stage, do NOT hug, maul, pick up, get rough with Drew?” one fan asked on a reddit thread titled “No touchy.”

“Some of these contestants are too rough,” they added. “They could accidentally hurt Drew.”
Another responded, “Evidently they don't because some of the women are all over him. One almost pushed him over and the woman today was crawling all over him.”
Others agreed. “Yeah, Drew isn't exactly a spring chicken any more. I realize contestants are pumped up, but please don't damage the host... or the models either,” they wrote.
For the record, Carey is 66 years old. He’s been hosting The Price Is Right since 2007, following the retirement of original host Bob Barker at the age of 83.
The discussion about Carey prompted some fans to reflect on how the audience treated Barker.
“I remember that happened back with Bob Barker also,” one wrote, with another noting that some fans would “throw [the original host] around like a ragdoll.”
Another person implied that producers might be encouraging rowdy behavior. “They show a hype video of people doing crazy things before you go into the studio, which inspires folks to be crazy.” But they have another problem with the show. “My pet peeve is being slow as hell to come down once called,” they added.
Last year, Carey revealed that there was a time when he was concerned about his well-being, not from overzealous fans, but due to the fact he was overweight.
Carey said at the time in an interview with PEOPLE that it was a wake-up call from his doctor that prompted him to start taking his health more seriously, after he was told his life would be "shorter" if he didn't make a change. That prompted him to lose 80 pounds in 2010.
