On the occasion of the naming of Drew Carey as host of The Price is Right and the debut of the Carey-hosted Power of 10 (to sparkling Nielsen numbers), Time asked him 10 Questions, one of which was whether Carey would still perform live as a standup comic.
Absolutely. Especially now that I am on TV, and I can charge more money. [Laughs.] Hopefully during breaks and in the summer, I can do a couple of tours. After all, game shows are not like working in a coal mine.
Emphasis ours.
