The Price Is Right host Drew Carey makes shocking claim about the show
One of the secrets to his success is unusual as he revealed before the release of the 30th anniversary edition DVD set of The Drew Carey Show.
'Not a lot of my fans know [that] I don't like watching myself on TV. I have a real hard time,' Drew, 67, told Parade.
'I've sat in the editing room a few times on The Drew Carey Show, and I had to leave.
'I don't do it that often because every time I saw it, I was like, "That's what I look like? And that's [how] I walk?" I get so tired of seeing myself,' he said.
He went on to note that one of the producers had some suggestions for his performance on the long running game show.
'I was like, "Oh my God." He was like, "I know, I apologize." And he really had to twist my arm to make me watch myself, even on The Price Is Right,' he continued.
'So I've always been like this. I don't watch The Price Is Right. I don't watch The Drew Carey Show.
'Once in a while, I'll put it on [to] just like see a minute of it, or Whose Line [Is It Anyway?].'
Earlier this week, Drew was spotted having a good time at the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Drew had his arms his arms around a mystery blonde as they beamed and took photographs together surrounded by revelers in the wee hours.
'Many people were shocked to see Drew in the crowd, especially considering his age, but he was the life and soul of the event,' the US Sun reported.
'He seemed to be having the best time, dancing and laughing with a group of friends all night.
'Plenty of women were going up to him and flirting, he appeared to enjoy the attention and was very friendly.'
He was also seen last month with OnlyFans creator Niki Skyler in West Hollywood, California.
The lunch excursion came just two months after Drew shared that he is still not dating after his former fiancée Amie Harwick was murdered in 2020 by ex-boyfriend Gareth Pursehouse.
Pursehouse had pled not guilty but in 2023 he was convicted of her murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Carey and Harwick became engaged in 2018 but called it quits later that same year.
During an interview with Us Weekly in February, the TV personality got candid about her tragic death and admitted to the outlet, 'It destroyed me for a while. I still don't date.
'I have women I go out with and spend time with, but it's all platonic, and I don't care about anything else. Amie's death really affected everything.'
He also expressed, 'I think about her every day. It's such a loss. Her death still affects me and my ideas about relationships and intimacy.
'It was all damaged by first our breakup, and then, the day before she died, when she texted me. It had been a really bad breakup for both of us, but a necessary one. I couldn't think about her or see a picture of her.'
The day before her passing, Carey recalled receiving a message from Amie who brought up the topic of forgiveness and asked to meet up.
'I texted her that I loved her and that I'd see her the next week,' the TV host said.
'I heard from one of her friends that she shed tears about my saying that I loved her still. Which I did. I loved her madly even though we had broken up.'
When her murderer was sentenced to life in prison, Carey opened up to People about finally having closure.
'I can barely remember the guy's name — that's how much I've put him out of my life — but ever since the final sentencing, it feels like we've all let out a breath and are able to finally move on.'
He continued, 'The whole process is over now, and there's nothing else to be done and nothing else to worry about. … Just speaking just for myself, it's been quite a load off.'
Drew also shared that following her passing, he still has photos of Harwick inside of his house.
'She's with me always. A lot of times I'll feel like I'll be thinking things through, and it's almost like I can hear her voice saying, "Well, really, it's because of this and that." It's really nice, honestly.'

Aubrey Plaza describes grief over husband Jeff Baena's death, likens it to an 'ocean of awfulness'
Aubrey Plaza has described her grief over husband Jeff Baena's death, likening it to 'a giant ocean of awfulness.' The actor spoke on the podcast ''Good Hang with Amy Poehler,' telling her former 'Parks and Recreation' costar in her most detailed public remarks to date that it's been a daily struggle to overcome her grief. Writer-director Baena's January death at age 47 was ruled a suicide. 'Overall, I'm here and I'm functioning,' Plaza tells Poehler at the outset of their interview after being asked how she is coping. 'I feel really grateful to be moving through the world. I think I'm OK. But it's like a daily struggle, obviously.' ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — This story includes discussion of suicide. If you or someone you know needs help, the national suicide and crisis lifeline in the U.S. is available by calling or texting 988.

Plaza asks Poehler. 'In the movie, there's a cliff on one side and then there's a cliff on the other side, and there's a gorge in between, and its filled with all these monster people trying to get them,' Plaza says. 'And I swear when I watched it I was like, 'That feels like what my grief is like,' or what grief could be like … where it's like at all times, there's a giant ocean of awfulness that's right there and I can see it." Plaza adds: "And sometimes I just want to dive into it, and just be in it, and sometimes I just look at it. And then sometimes I try to get away from it. But it's just always there, and the monster people are trying to get me, like Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy.' Baena was a writer and director who frequently collaborated with Plaza. He cowrote David O. Russell's 2004 film 'I Heart Huckabees' and wrote and directed five of his own films. Plaza starred in his 2014 directorial debut, the zombie comedy 'Life After Beth.'

‘I'd never seen anything like it': Lucinda Childs on the extraordinary worlds of Robert Wilson
There was a production of Bob's in New York in 1975, A Letter for Queen Victoria, and some friends told me, 'Oh, you should see this, it's really amazing'. I was a dancer and choreographer and I had worked with the Judson Dance Theatre – it was all about no music, pedestrian movement, performing in alternative spaces, avoiding all the traditional trappings. Here was Bob, though, in a theatre, with a composer and lighting … it was such a contemporary sensibility. I'd never seen anything like it. I met Bob shortly thereafter at a festival, and he talked right away about working together on Einstein on the Beach [with composer Philip Glass]. We worked in his studio in lower Manhattan. Bob worked in a kind of improvisatory fashion. Day to day we were never sure if he was going to review what we had done or start again. You just would come up with something and run with it and see what happened. We would improvise day after day and narrow it down and see what worked. He was never entirely specific about what he wanted, but somehow he got exactly what he wanted. There was a lot of trust and he supported me in my work in such a strong way. It gave me a sense of freedom. The next thing we worked on was Patio [full title: I Was Sitting on My Patio This Guy Appeared I Thought I Was Hallucinating]. Right after Einstein, he gave me a 38-page script and said, 'Tell me what you think'. And, of course, I loved it. He thought of text in different ways. Not necessarily the meaning or the narrative aspect, but the music of it, the timing and the rhythm. He just had a unique way of thinking. A lot of the notes that I got from Bob when he was directing were in the form of pictures. From Einstein I have several pages of little drawings he did for every single scene. He was always thinking visually. Watching him do the lighting for Einstein in the theatre in Avignon – to appreciate what he could see, the time and consideration it takes to develop exactly what he wanted – this is something so special and, in a way, difficult about Bob's career. It all happens in three dimensions – it doesn't translate anywhere else. There were a lot of difficulties getting work made in the US. Luckily, he had so much support in Europe. He was appreciated and given opportunities. But there was disappointment, and certainly some anger, because it was difficult for any of us in the downtown crowd in New York. The attitude was: why don't you just stay downtown! But it didn't stop him. Bob wanted to do Einstein at the Met – and he did. I have to mention the Watermill [a centre for alternative arts education in New York]. He managed to bring this wonderful place to America and bring these students in year after year. Every morning he would talk to the entire group, and he'd get round to every single student. He created this place that's so special. As a friend, he offered enormous support. He never forgot a birthday, always sent a message. Never forgot after a performance to write a lovely note to thank you, and he would mean what he said. He was incredibly thoughtful. There was so much support, and anybody I run into says exactly the same thing. There must be hundreds of people with these memos and mementoes. It was 50 years on and off working together. From the very beginning, Bob said, 'I think we think in the same way'. I was working in Hamburg with him on the production H–100 Seconds to Midnight and we all were assembled together, he was introducing all the actors and dancers. And when he got to me he said: 'Lucinda and I don't really talk very much, because we don't need to. We understand each other.' And there was something very touching about that.
