14 Things You Never Knew About ‘The Drew Carey Show’


2. His Potty Mouth Launched His Career

When Carey first stepped out on the scene, he tried to be “squeaky clean” by telling PC jokes to his audiences during his stand-up gigs. He would get a few sympathy laughs here and there, but he wasn’t really getting the response that he craved. He then decided to kick things up a notch by talking to his audience using the same lingo he would use with his friends every time they would hit up a bar. It wasn’t until he stopped censoring his subject matter that crowds fell in love with him. Carey was quoted as saying, “I went from respectable laughs to belly laughs. I got more work and made more money.”
