If I've learned one thing from watching TV, it's that fat people are funny and skinny people aren't.
Drew Carey has a new show coming out on Game Show Network. It's titled something stupid like "Improv-a-smorgasbord-a-palooza-fest." Unfortunately, Carey has lost a great deal of weight since his earlier years in comedy. Also, unfortunately, nothing about that show seems to be a game show.
Regardless, it's clear Carey didn't learn his lesson from Drake and Josh. The once popular Nick teen show fell immediately down the tubes once Josh lost weight in the third season. The show would last only one more season and garner a meager 12 more Nickelodeon Kid's Choice awards, a paltry 6 times as many as they received in their first two seasons.
It's clear here:
What did the writers expect? Seriously, we don't want to see Skinny Guy Meets Skinny Guy. If we turned the lights off, and could only use our hands to communicate, how am I supposed to tell them apart? By beard length?
What a ridiculous assertion. And now it seems Drew Carey has fallen to the same fate.
For scientific purposes, I have included two individual scales used to monitor funniness to fatness: The Farley Model (perfected in a 1996 study comparing how fucking hilarious Chris Farley is when compared to that squirrelly guy from the 7 Up commercials with whom he always seems to be standing next to on stage) and the newly devised Carey Scale, which I've used to compare Carey to Nicole Richie, who is neither fat nor funny.
Best of luck fishing your career out of the toilet, Carey.
i agree
