Drew Carey has had a great career in stand up, television and as host of The Price is Right.

One of the secrets to his success is unusual as he revealed before the release of the 30th anniversary edition DVD set of The Drew Carey Show.

‘Not a lot of my fans know [that] I don’t like watching myself on TV. I have a real hard time,’ Drew, 67, told Parade.

‘I’ve sat in the editing room a few times on The Drew Carey Show, and I had to leave.

‘I don’t do it that often because every time I saw it, I was like, “That’s what I look like? And that’s [how] I walk?” I get so tired of seeing myself,’ he said.

He went on to note that one of the producers had some suggestions for his performance on the long running game show.

‘I was like, “Oh my God.” He was like, “I know, I apologize.” And he really had to twist my arm to make me watch myself, even on The Price Is Right,’ he continued.

‘So I’ve always been like this. I don’t watch The Price Is Right. I don’t watch The Drew Carey Show.

Earlier this week, Drew was spotted having a good time at the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Drew had his arms his arms around a mystery blonde as they beamed and took photographs together surrounded by revelers in the wee hours.

‘Many people were shocked to see Drew in the crowd, especially considering his age, but he was the life and soul of the event,’ the US Sun reported.

‘He seemed to be having the best time, dancing and laughing with a group of friends all night.

‘Plenty of women were going up to him and flirting, he appeared to enjoy the attention and was very friendly.’

The lunch excursion came just two months after Drew shared that he is still not dating after his former fiancée Amie Harwick was murdered in 2020 by ex-boyfriend Gareth Pursehouse.

Pursehouse had pled not guilty but in 2023 he was convicted of her murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Carey and Harwick became engaged in 2018 but called it quits later that same year.

During an interview with Us Weekly in February, the TV personality got candid about her tragic death and admitted to the outlet, ‘It destroyed me for a while. I still don’t date.

‘I have women I go out with and spend time with, but it’s all platonic, and I don’t care about anything else. Amie’s death really affected everything.’

He also expressed, ‘I think about her every day. It’s such a loss. Her death still affects me and my ideas about relationships and intimacy.

‘It was all damaged by first our breakup, and then, the day before she died, when she texted me. It had been a really bad breakup for both of us, but a necessary one. I couldn’t think about her or see a picture of her.’

The day before her passing, Carey recalled receiving a message from Amie who brought up the topic of forgiveness and asked to meet up.

‘I heard from one of her friends that she shed tears about my saying that I loved her still. Which I did. I loved her madly even though we had broken up.’

When her murderer was sentenced to life in prison, Carey opened up to People about finally having closure.

‘I can barely remember the guy’s name — that’s how much I’ve put him out of my life — but ever since the final sentencing, it feels like we’ve all let out a breath and are able to finally move on.’

He continued, ‘The whole process is over now, and there’s nothing else to be done and nothing else to worry about. … Just speaking just for myself, it’s been quite a load off.’

Drew also shared that following her passing, he still has photos of Harwick inside of his house.

‘She’s with me always. A lot of times I’ll feel like I’ll be thinking things through, and it’s almost like I can hear her voice saying, “Well, really, it’s because of this and that.” It’s really nice, honestly.’
