Drew Carey on "Power of 10" Drew Carey Pictures Drew Carey is a stand-up comic turned actor and producer who had the distinction of having two hit shows simultaneously: the long-running comedy "The Drew Carey Show," which ran from 1995-2004, and the improve/sketch show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" on which he was host and a producer. The success of that show led to the creation of "Drew Carey's Improv All-Stars," an improv troupe that performs in showrooms across the country. In addition to his hosting duties on "The Power of 10," Drew Carey was recently announced the new host of "The Price is Right." In May 2000, Drew Carey starred in his first television movie as the title character in "Geppetto" for the "Wonderful World of Disney." Drew Carey sang and danced in the new telling of the classic "Pinocchio" tale. Drew Carey's debut book, Dirty Jokes and Beer: Stories of the Unrefined, is a look at life from Drew Carey's unique and comical perspective. Drew Careyreturned to his stand-up comedy roots in July 1997 when he hosted HBO's "Mr. Vegas' All-Night Party," where he performed musical numbers and comedy sketches. While in the Marine Reserves, his military buzz cut and black wide-rim glasses became part of his trademark look. Drew Carey began his successful career as a comedian in April of 1986 at the Cleveland Comedy Club. One of Drew Carey's first big breaks was competing on "Star Search '88." In 1991, Drew Carey landed a spot on HBO's "14th Annual Young Comedians Special" and appeared on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson." Drew Carey landed his own television development deal at Disney, which led to an opportunity for Carey to co-star in the series "The Good Life." Drew Carey also had the opportunity to work with Bruce Helford, who was a consulting writer on the series and hired Carey as a staff writer for "The Gaby Hoffman Show." Their experience led the two of them to decide to co-create a series for Drew Carey. Drew Carey went on to star in his own comedy special for Showtime, "Drew Carey: Human Cartoon" and performed in Showtime's "Tenth Anniversary of the Montreal Comedy Festival." Drew Carey was born in Cleveland, Ohio and currently resides in Los Angeles. His birth date is May 23.
