The Price Is Right host Drew Carey makes shocking claim about the show
Drew Carey has had a great career in stand up, television and as host of The Price is Right. 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.'

Craig Ferguson kickstarted his entertainment career as a drummer for a punk band - the lead singer was Peter Capaldi - then as an actor and stand-up comedian in the late 80s. After a successful turn at the Edinburgh Festival and shows at Glasgow's Tron Theatre - he credits Sir Michael Boyd, the artistic director of The Tron as the person who persuaded him to take to the stage - he moved to the United States in 1994, going on to star in The Drew Carey Show, writing and appearing in movies before securing his role as the host of the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson in 2005. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The show ran for eleven seasons featuring interviews with celebrities including Betty White, Jon Hamm, Steve Carrell, Rashida Jones and Mila Kunis. A multiple Grammy nominated, Peabody and Emmy Award-winning actor, writer, producer, director and comedian with a diverse career that encompasses film, television and the stage, Ferguson is a New York Times bestselling author and has recorded numerous stand-up specials for Netflix, Epix, Comedy Central and Amazon. Supplied With such a varied career, why does he continue to return to stand-up? 'I think it's, it's your original it's thing. It's like your original instrument' he says, speaking from his home in New York. 'If you're a guitar player, you can go out and if you do well, you'll play in a band and maybe do somewhere an orchestra and do a concept album about knights of the round table and have a 50 piece thing and all that. But really what you do is you play the guitar, so you go back out and play the guitar, and I feel like that's what stand-up is for me. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'It's what I did at the beginning. I've done it all the way through. I mean, I stopped for a bit, I think in the nineties I stopped because I was doing those independent films and I was working on the Drew Carey Show and there wasn't really any time. 'But other than that, when I started in late night in America, I went back doing stand-up. I felt the two things complimented each other and it is just something I've always done and I like doing it. It's a weird thing. I would probably only say this to someone from Scotland, but it's my job. It's what I do, so I'm going to do it.' Craig made a conscious decision to move his comedy away from topical beats, the political fodder that informed his opening monologues on The Late Late Show. He talks about the show he is bringing to the UK: 'It's anecdotal in the sense that it's stories and it's personal observations. The only rule I give myself about standup, I started round about 2016, is that I gave myself a stylistic choice. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'That I would no longer discuss any kind of politics at all. I'm not going to do it, because particularly, I mean, look, it's a long time since I've done stand-up in the UK, so I don't know if it's the same kind of temperature, but in America, certainly, everybody's doing it. 'It's such a hot button. It's kind of an interesting way to go for me to avoid it. And also I felt like as an audience member, I thought that what I would like is a break look. 'I'm sick of the people that I agree with, nevermind the people that don't. I'm just like, I'm just sick of hearing it. So for an hour and a half or however long I'm on stage, there'll be no politics and all the stuff that you're angry at will still be there when you get out. So nobody's going to lose.'
