Who is Drew Carey and what is his background?
I enrolled in Kent State. I filled out the paperwork.

And then when I decided to do my first amateur night, that's just how I had my hair. That was once a month. The drill was once a month. What are you going to do? You can't grow your hair out. So that was just my haircut. And then the glasses. The Marine Corps, I don't know what they do in the Army. In the Marine Corps, they call them BCGs, birth control glasses. That's what the drill instructor called it. That's what every other Marine called it. I don't know why they officially just don't call them that. But even when you're getting ready...

This episode of The Jordan Harbinger Show has some explicit language, so if you're offended by that, well, skip to the next one. And mom, it wasn't me. It was the guest. Coming up next on The Jordan Harbinger Show.
And I'm acting like an idiot, just like drunk out of my mind. Fucked up drunk, but in a really good, happy way. Like, we got to do something with Drew. And somebody had the idea, let's put Drew in a wheelchair and wheel him out of here. So they got the Disney guy to get a wheelchair, put me in the wheelchair, and they're going to wheel me out of there, which they do. And I'm in the chair just like fireworks going off.

This episode is really full of funny stories from a long career in Hollywood and comedy, plenty of laughter, and of course, inside baseball on one of the most popular game shows of all time. I wondered, and of course asked him if anybody had ever cheated on The Price is Right or tried to, some hard times in his career, and his love for raves and partying, which I did not see coming at all. Of course, I wanted to hear about the downsides, how he handled rejection, setbacks, and a I feel compelled to say, Drew Carey, come on down. You look good for, are you 66? Wow. I'll be 67 in May.
Congratulations for living this long, I guess. Less and less like Dilbert every year. Thanks. You went to Kent State, yeah?
