Drew Carey served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves from 1980-86,
and his experience has had a lasting impact on his life. Before he
was known for hosting The Price Is Right or starring in the hit sitcom
The Drew Carey Show, Carey was an active-duty Marine. His time in
the military instilled with discipline and determination, which helped
him pursue his dreams of becoming a comedian and actor.

After leaving the service in 1986, Carey began performing stand-up comedy around Cleveland and eventually made it to Hollywood
where he found success as one of America’s most beloved
funnymen.
