Cool, I like Drew.I’ll have to check out his book. I also like dirty jokes and beer.

[Para-Ord.45]

True, Bob or Chuck would also be better than Drew.

I spent 5 minutes chatting with Drew Carey at a USA / Mexico soccer match...and I didn't know who he was.

I had my back turned, setting up a vendor booth while he asked questions about the merchandise. I never turned around and one of the guys there told me who he was when he left. While he stood a few feet away, there was no mistaking that it was him. Turns out he is a photographer who follows the USA team around and has press credentials.

I can vouch for his great sense of humor, btw. He laughed at one of my jokes. ;-)

Some quotes from his days as host of Whose Line is it Anyway?:

"I'm You're host Drew Carey, or, as Hannibal Lecter calls me, Dinner-for-Two."

"You say to-MA-to, I say Bourbon & Coke."

"...and the points don't matter. That's right, the points are like...Spy Satellites over Canada."

"...and the points don't matter. That's right, the points are like the XFL."

[A.A. Cunningham]

You’ve been told wrong and yes, there are even ex-Marines.

[Lucky9teen]

Who the heck is Janice? ;)

[Lucky9teen]

based on my opinion of one guy....yeh...whatever....

I just don’t find him funny.

[rbosque]

I’m sure Rosie will end up on some show soon.

[Bluegrass Conservative]

That may be, but the show smacks of give-away Liberalism.

I disagree. You can't win unless you're well-versed in Capitalism. : )

[Grizzled Bear]

Isn’t Drew Cary an outspoken Conservative/Libertarian? That ought to piss off Rosie even more..

---

He’s also a Marine.

[Bluegrass Conservative]

Who the heck is Janice? ;)

Janice Pennington . . . one of "Barker's Beauties"

[Sue Perkick]

Pretty good choice! Drew’s a funny guy.

[Grizzled Bear]

Maybe that’s a good thing about libertarians: they can get their message out well enough without making nuisances of themselves.

Except on the Free Republic Drug Legalization threads.

;-)

[Sue Perkick]

That’s what they said about
Jack Paar
Johnny Carson

And Bon Scott

[RinaseaofDs]

Good choice. I like the guy. Former Marine. Likes girls too, which means Barker’s babes live on.

[pfflier]

Hollywood in general will be real P.O.d because Drew Carey is a (gasp) Republican!

[GnL]

True, Bob or Chuck would also be better than Drew.

Are those guys even still alive?

[Pharmboy]

What you said now is different from what you said before, that is, "he's not funny" vs. "I don't find him funny." The latter, IMO, is fine, the former as a blanket statement was incorrect.

Again, IMO.
