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.'

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
