Drew Carey was born on May 23, 1958 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA as Drew Allison Carey. He is a producer and actor, known for 宝贝一族 (1995), 机器人历险记 (2005) and 杰克与吉尔 (2011).
Served in the United States Marine Corps.
(January 8, 1999) Filed $600,000 breach-of-contract suit against A&W restaurant chain when it refused to pay for commercials after an episode of his television series featured competitor McDonald's.
He wrote a memoir titled 'Dirty Jokes and Beer: Stories of the Unrefined' in 2000, which got on The New York Times Bestseller list. In the memoir, he addressed his difficult childhood, which included the tragic loss of his father to a fatal brain tumor when Drew was 8 years old, as well as episodes of sexual abuse at the hands of a member of his extended family. These dark incidents prompted an early onset of depression and Carey twice attempted suicide before the age of 25.

Graduated from James Ford Rhodes High School (Cleveland, Ohio) in 1975; he was on the school's marching band. Later attended Kent State University, where he was expelled twice for poor academic performance.

He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6664 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California, on February 21, 2003. Appropriately enough, the star of this former Marine is located directly in front of the Supply Sergeant, a Hollywood fixture for decades.
Received an honorary degree of Humane Letters from Cleveland State University (2000).
Considers the writings of self-help guru Dr. Wayne W. Dyer a major influence in his life.
Is mentioned in the song "Ohio (Come Back to Texas)" by the rock band Bowling for Soup.

A self-professed "computer geek", Carey owns at least 30 computers and more than 10 video game consoles (six PS2s, four XBOXs, etc).
Was the first-ever celebrity to enter WWE's pay-per-view Royal Rumble. He eliminated himself when the next participant, seven-footer Kane (Glenn Jacobs), came out. This became one of WWE's greatest moments in sports entertainment history.
When 宝贝一族 (1995) wound up being a major surprise success on television, he was given a Porsche by the production company. He purportedly walked out on the stage of the set, asked, "Who here has got the worst car?" When one of the stage hands spoke up and said he didn't have a car, Carey threw him the keys to his old Miata. (source: Esquire magazine).
Engaged to Nicole Jaracz, a recent graduate of culinary school, proposed October 9, 2007.
His hand was injured on the set of The Price Is Right (1972) when it got jammed in one of the turntable walls.
Host of the two biggest-money games in television history. In 2003, he hosted Pepsi Play for a Billion (2003), a game show special that offered the ultimate $1 billion prize. In 2007, he became the host of Power of 10 (2007), on which the potential prize is $10 million. Both shows were produced by Michael Davies.
Is a huge fan of the Cleveland Browns. He introduced the team upon the first game of the 1999 season, when the Browns returned to the NFL.
Following riots by Rangers fans and some of the team's players acting in an unsporting manner, he changed his loyalties from Rangers to Celtic saying: "It's still Glasgow, just a little greener and with proper fans.".
In March 2008, Carey became the first U.S. game show host to award a $1 million cash prize on three separate game shows. The first instance occurred on Pepsi Play for a Billion (2003), which aired in September 2003. The second was on the premiere episode of Power of 10 (2007) in August 2007, and the third was won on a prime-time episode of The Price Is Right (1972) (Drew's first nighttime episode, March 2008). In addition, a $1 million prize has been awarded in two subsequent episodes of The Price Is Right (1972).

Holds the record for the most money won on the celebrity version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (1999) with $532,000 won during two appearances on the show.

Carey is the public face and owner of Major Soccer League team Seattle Sounders.
Had never watched even a single episode of The New Truth and Consequences (1950) or The Price Is Right (1972), the two shows that were hosted by Bob Barker, so he had to be taught every description of the game after Barker retired.

As a child, he was a huge fan of The Beverly Hillbillies (1962), Bewitched (1964), and Batman (1966).
