Particularly close to my heart was the ability our vast popularity gave me to remind our entire audience daily about the importance of spaying and neutering your pets. I had the pleasure of working with a dedicated and talented cast and crew for 35 great years. They truly were and are the heart and soul of the show. “The show has the most enthusiastic and fun audience that one could ever ask for. Nine seasons of "The Drew Carey Show" made him a sitcom sensation.“First, I want to say congratulations and thank you to all the wonderful people responsible, past and present, on the 50 th season of The Price Is Right,” said Barker. I know it's funny and everything, I just don't think looking like this was worth that one joke …" "I'm the only one that still looks like his graduation picture, though, so I'm pretty happy. Johnny Carson made him a standup standout: They could yell all the wanted, I didn't care! I was just so happy to be part of this, like, I was part of this big thing, and I was doing it." "When I was in boot camp, I was so excited to be part of a thing, you know, I got a lot of pride back into myself. He dropped out of college and joined the Marine Reserves. Even in junior high I would walk through the hall and instead of saying 'Excuse me,' I would say, 'I'm sorry.' 'Sorry, sorry,' like, I was sorry for existing."

A self-described nerd as a teen, he said he was plagued with self-doubt and unworthiness. "When I was younger, I would memorize joke books '2000 Insults For All Occasions' was one of the big ones that I had!"īut he was struggling on the inside. If anybody ever said they got a new car, you would say, 'Oh yeah? What year is it?'"Ĭarey has always been funny on the outside every since he was a kid. Nobody in my neighborhood had a lot of money. Getting paid to give away prizes that, growing up, he could never imagine affording is still a little surreal: "When you're a guy in Cleveland that's just a regular guy, you can only dream of so much, realistically.

Reynolds laughed.īut the biggest change, of course, was the host.
