Quotes

[on working on 'The Drew Carey Show'] We had a really good time together. I think that was pretty evident on camera. What was interesting too about the executive producer of that show was that he would keep takes where we were obviously laughing out of character at each other.

I miss the show. I particularly miss working with Ryan Stiles, who is just such a genius and so pleasant to work with.
