Drew Carey

At the age of 19, Drew Carey found himself homeless and living out of his car while pursuing a career in comedy, hoping for a big break on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

For 18 months, he lived in his car and sold plasma to make ends meet. His persistence paid off when he finally landed a spot on Carson’s show, a moment that jump-started his now multi-million-dollar career and led him to become the host of The Price Is Right.
