In addition to co-creating, producing and writing a hit TV comedy (for which he received a People's Choice Award for Best Actor in a New Series), hosting and executive producing America's smash version of the long-running British improv series and writing the best-selling Dirty Jokes and Beer: Stories of the Unrefined, Drew Carey is set to tackle the title role in The Wonderful World of Disney's live-action television musical, Geppetto.

Carey began his career in 1986 at the Cleveland Comedy Club and went on to compete on Star Search '88. In 1991, he landed a spot on HBO's 14th Annual Young Comedians Special.

He then moved to Los Angeles where he experienced a dream come true when Johnny Carson bestowed upon him a rare invitation to come sit on the couch after his performance on The Tonight Show.   More >
