1958

Drew Allison Carey (born May 23, 1958) is an American comedian, actor, and game show host.

After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps and making a name for himself in stand-up comedy, Carey gained stardom in his own sitcom, The Drew Carey Show, and as host of the U.S. version of the improv comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway?, both of which aired on ABC.

He then appeared in several films, television series, music videos, a made-for-television film, and a computer game.

Carey was born on May 23, 1958 to Lewis Carey and Beulah (née-Neal).

1983

He moved to Las Vegas for a few months in 1983 and for a short time worked as a bank teller and a waiter at Denny's.

1985

In 1985, Carey began his comedy career by following a suggestion by David Lawrence (a disc jockey friend who had been paying Carey to write jokes for Lawrence's radio show in Cleveland) to go to the library and check out books on how to write jokes.

The following year, after winning an open mic contest, Carey became Master of Ceremonies at the Cleveland Comedy Club.

He performed at comedy clubs over the next few years in Cleveland and Los Angeles.

Carey's first national exposure was competing in the 1988 Star Search.

1991

Carey was working as a stand-up comedian when he appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in November 1991.

1994

In 1994, Carey wrote his own stand-up comedy special, Drew Carey: Human Cartoon, which aired on Showtime and won a CableACE Award for Best Writing.

In 1994, he co-starred with John Caponera in The Good Life, a short-lived sitcom on NBC.

After the show was cancelled, Bruce Helford, a writer on the show, hired Carey as a consultant for the television show Someone Like Me.

By the final season, he was earning $750,000 per episode.
