TIME's interview with the comedian continues on Time.com. Read these extra questions with Drew Carey.
You are primarily a stand-up and sitcom comedian. Can you do well in a more
straight environment like The Price is Right? —Charles Peruchini, Los Angeles
I'll be fine. It is like being at a party. You have to keep the games
moving, but there are plenty of opportunities to make jokes.
Will you change the name of the girls from Barker's Beauties to Carey's Cuties? —Rob Opaleski, Chicago
We are going to call them by their names or The Price is Right Models. Not
Barker's Beauties or Carey's Cuties. I don't like Carey's Cuties. [Laughs.] I think they are individual women and I want them to stand on their own.
Are you planning to remind people to get their pets spayed or neutered? —Vinnie Orlando, Racine, Wis.
I will continue the tradition of saying spay or neuter your pet. It is an easy thing. It takes two seconds. It was really important to Bob Barker and
he is the one that built the show. It would be a mistake to get rid of it.
How did you become interested in soccer? —Brian Stewart, Everett, Wash.
It was about four years ago, the first year the Home Depot Center [the stadium where the LA Galaxy soccer team plays] was opened. I
needed a local sports team to route for in LA, so I started going to soccer
games and I got hooked.
What events in your life made allowed you who you are today? —Dinh Phan, Silver Spring, Md.
The Marine Corps. It instilled a great sense of discipline that I can call
on when I need to. Growing up without a father also had a big effect and
being the youngest in the family. I think every situation you find yourself
in—the traffic you go through, the lines you wait in, even mundane things
have an effect drop by drop.
What do you like to do for fun? —Jessica Wright, Overland Park, Kans.
[Laughs.] I watch TV, I read. I like to talk and have smart
conversations. The worst thing you can do to me is talk about Britney
Spears. If that is your lead in, I say go be boring with someone else.
