Drew Carey, an under-paid member of management at
Winfred-Lauder Department Store, lives the most typical, predictable life
imaginable, but still, we continue to watch him on The Drew Carey Show. He wakes
up, catches a carpool to work, and works a very thankless job, trapped in a
cubicle. His work day consist of eating two, three, sometimes even four dozen
doughnuts (you know I love ya Drew!), an occasional confrontation with the
walking Avon kit known as
MIMI,
sending out memos and his favorite cartoons to Winfred-Lauder employees, and of
course begging his boss, the Englishman
MR
WICK, for a raise and of course, not getting one. And then, there are
those "secret dates" with his co-worker, Lisa, by the water-cooler; but that's a
different story...
Then it's home for Drew; a run-down house
in Cleveland given to him by his parents, but hey, he loves it. Equipped with
a pool table in his backyard and a Buzz Beer brewery in his backyard, Drew has
got it all. Whether he's playing pool with his buddies
LEWIS and
OSWALD, sitting at his kitchen table over
Buzz Beers getting women advice from
KATE, or with the whole gang down at the Warsaw Tavern, Drew
is truly a guy to be admired (well...sort of).

Besides being one of television's brightest comedy
sensations, Drew Carey continues to diversify his career with his cutting edge
stand-up comedy, his successful debut as an author, another popular comedy
series, hosting awards shows and a cable special he did last year. He holds
the distinction of being one of the last stand-up comics to make his debut on
"The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson and be called over to sit on the couch
to chat with him. That was in November of 1991 and Carey's career has risen
ever since. In his first season, Carey was awarded the People's Choice Award
for Best Actor in a New Series. Carey is also known to television audiences
for starring in the comedy series "The Good Life." He starred in two of his
own comedy specials for Showtime, "Full Frontal Comedy" and "Drew Carey, Human
Cartoon" and he has also performed on HBO's "14th Annual Young Comedians
Show." Carey, who earned a CableACE Award for his writing of the Showtime
special "Drew Carey, Human Cartoon," hosted the 1996 CableACE Awards Special
and HBO's "Mr. Vegas All-Night Party." Carey's first book, Dirty Jokes and
Beer, was released in 1997 and quickly became a best seller on the New York
Times list. Carey hosted the 25th Annual American Music Awards this year and
he is currently the Host and Executive Producer of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
the improvisational comedy series.
