Tavis: (Laughter) I'm pleased to - I'm pleased to welcome Drew Carey back to this program. I'm laughing already. The popular and talented comedian and actor can now add game show host to his resume. Last fall he took over for Bob Barker on the long-running show "The Price is Right." He's also the host of the prime time CBS game show "The Power of 10."
And if all that were not enough, since I last saw Drew he's decided to get married. Drew, nice to see you.
Drew Carey: Nice to see you, man, thanks for (unintelligible).
Tavis: You all right, man?
Carey: I'm great, yeah.
Tavis: Congratulations on all this stuff.
Carey: Thank you.

"Reason" magazine has a website and I thought hey, you guys should
do video because everything was really wonky and a lot of numbers

Tavis: Wow, that's weird.
