The Price Is Right host Drew Carey reveals a shocking fact about himself and the show
In a revelation that has surprised fans across the entertainment industry, The Price Is Right host Drew Carey has admitted that he rarely, if ever, watches himself on television—despite anchoring one of America's longest-running game shows for nearly 18 years. The veteran comedian and presenter shared his personal discomfort with self-viewing in a recent interview with Parade , while discussing the upcoming DVD release of The Drew Carey Show : The Complete Series , commemorating its 30th anniversary. Carey Avoids Viewing His Own Work Drew Carey, who has been the face of The Price Is Right since 2007, candidly revealed his aversion to seeing himself on screen. 'Not a lot of my fans know that I don't like watching myself on TV. I have a real hard time,' Carey admitted, as mentioned in a report by the Citizen Tribune. Reflecting on his time in the editing room during his sitcom days, he added, '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 noted that producers once had to persuade him to watch his own footage for performance review. 'I was like, 'Oh my God.' He really had to twist my arm,' Carey recounted, as per a report by Citizen Tribune. Live Events Mental Health and Media Consumption This avoidance of self-viewing is part of a broader commitment by Carey to maintain his mental well-being. In an earlier interview with Us Weekly , the longtime host spoke openly about his mental health practices. 'I'm very careful. I watch my mental health all the time,' he said, noting that he often limits exposure to social media and news. 'Sometimes I go, 'Nope, not today,'' Carey remarked, as mentioned in a report by Citizen Tribune. While Carey is reluctant to watch his performances, his passion for the job remains strong. The Price Is Right , a mainstay of American daytime television since 1972, recently celebrated its 10,000th episode in February—an occasion Carey called 'an honor' to be part of. A Milestone for a Reluctant Star Despite his discomfort with the spotlight off-camera, Carey has been instrumental in steering The Price Is Right through a successful new era, bringing charm, humor, and a sense of connection to millions of viewers. His reluctance to engage with his own on-screen image may be unusual for a television figure of his stature, but fans have continued to embrace his authenticity and warmth. Carey's remarks offer a rare glimpse into the personal experiences behind one of the most familiar faces in American television. As The Drew Carey Show prepares for its 30th anniversary release, and The Price Is Right continues its decades-long run, the host's candidness has only deepened the appreciation of audiences for his enduring contributions to television.

In January 2018, he announced a new engagement to sex therapist Amie Harwick. Is Rachel Reynolds still married to Drew Carey?

Ball State's Happy Gilmore Bags NIL Deal With Sunday Golf
Ball State gofer Happy Gilmore, who has just signed an NIL deal with Sunday. Happy Gilmore isn't just a beloved yet hotheaded hockey hooligan turned golfer with a trademark run-up swing—he's also a well-spoken, business-savvy freshman on Ball State's golf team, capable of dialing up 190 mph of ball speed off the tee. The management and leadership major from Bloomington, Indiana, was born Landon James Gilmore, but the nickname has stuck with him since elementary school. It came courtesy of a spectator shout-out at the Pepsi Little People's Golf Championship, where Happy won a long drive competition. Gilmore, who received kudos from Adam Sandler—the progenitor of his fictional alter-ego—on social media when he committed to Ball State, has been fielding offers from a bevy of brands eager to hop on the Happy bandwagon. But he's been very selective, making sure each opportunity that comes up aligns with his values, is a good fit, and doesn't impinge upon his playing schedule. Sunday Golf, a bag brand he was already familiar with, was an easy choice after he did his due diligence. 'I had to make sure it was compliant with Ball State and that I was able to do this deal,' Gilmore explained. It certainly helps that he buys into their approach to the game. 'I like what they're trying to do with golf. Golf has that country club [mentality] When the topic of the best and worst parts of being the real-life Happy Gilmore comes up, the D1 college golfer reflects on how his feelings about it have evolved, admitting that when he was younger, the ad nauseam movie quotes became a bit much. 'People always doing it would get really annoying. Now that I'm older, I have so much fun with it and it fuels me when people try to be funny and make some joke about the movie,' Gilmore enthused. He's seen Happy Gilmore more times than he can count—like most golfers—and his favorite scene? The legendary tussle with the late Bob Barker of Price Is Right fame. 'Another thing is always having to tell people, 'Yes, my name is Happy Gilmore.' Stuff like that gets old too. We have a Chik-Fil-A on campus and they always ask for a name. When I tell them, they'll look at me weird and then they'll type it in. They've called me Hadley before, Hannah once and these off-the-wall names because they don't understand that it's 'Happy,' the emotion. I don't think it could be any simpler.' Happy's signing is the latest in a string of playful Sunday Golf marketing moves that have captured the industry spotlight. The San Diego company has turned heads with a successful crowdfunding campaign, minting a deal with a first-grader—a Southern California State Champion in his age group—along with a partnership with Tom Brady (zero relation to the QB GOAT) on a golf bag line benefiting Youth On Course. 'We were always really impressed with his game. We've been keeping up with him, seeing how he's been playing and performing at Ball State,' Camden Wicker, director of customer experience at Sunday Golf, said. 'He's a great kid with a good head on his shoulders and he hits the ball pretty far,' Wicker added. Gilmore will still sport his usual bag in team competition, but will promote Sunday in the offseason and in posts on social. The initial deal runs through the end of the year but the bag maker's goal is to forge a longstanding relationship. The signing dovetails with the company's introduction of Recess Bags, a line of youth-sized golf bags for kids aged 5-8 and 9-12 that debuted a couple of months back. As for Happy, the deals are expected to keep pouring in. With anticipation building for Happy Gilmore 2, which will be released on Netflix on July 25 the 'real-life' Happy's star power has a strong tailwind, adding yardage to his celebrity. He has already lined up a partnership with a major national fast-food chain, set to be announced in the coming weeks. On the golf course, Gilmore's standout performances this season include a third place showing at the Golfweek "Put Me In Coach" Invitational and another top five performance at the Purdue Fall Invite Individual. While recent outings have yielded much quieter results, he is optimistic he will finish strong. 'I know if I go out and play good golf, the finishes will just happen on their own. Right now, I've not been playing too well after the winter. I haven't really come back into form yet,' Gilmore said. The goal is to peak in time for the Mid-American Conference Championship at the end of April and help the Cardinals win back-to-back league titles.

California golf pro on 'Price Is Right' got the luckiest game to play for a car
California golf pro on 'Price Is Right' got the luckiest game to play for a car Ask yourself, "Price Is Right" fans: what's the perfect game for a golfer or a golf pro to play to win big? The answer is, of course, the game known as Hole-in-One, which involves putting a ball into a hole from a certain distance, depending on how you nail the prices of some products beforehand. And wouldn't you know it? Travis Britt, who is an assistant golf pro at Brentwood Country Club, won the chance to get up on stage and play ... Hole-in-One. Now, nailing the putt is no guarantee. But Britt got up really close and — thank goodness for him and his golf reputation — hit the putt with ease. He won ... a new car. Here's how that all played out: Congrats!

Golf Pro Has Ultimate Stroke Of Luck To Win A Car On 'Price Is Right'
'The Price Is Right' shared a clip this week of a contestant sinking a golf putt to win a car. But this was no ordinary player. (Watch the video below.) Travis Britt is an assistant pro at Brentwood Country Club in Los Angeles who by chance, it seems, got to play 'Hole in One' for a Hyundai Venue. 'I had no idea we were playing Hole in One by the way,' host Drew Carey said as he let the audience know that Britt does for a living. 'If you miss this putt, hang your head, bro,' Carey said. 'Do not show your face in public.' But first Britt had to try to ace a game pricing products in ascending order, which he did well enough to earn a short putt. 'No pressure right?' Britt said. 'I should sit on your shoulders to make this fair,' Carey cracked. Britt made the shot easily and his entourage went crazy. The episode aired earlier in the month but the clip was understandably making the rounds on Friday. Congrats on the new drive, golf pro.
