Drew Carey: Back To TV
CBS continues to pump up its alternative development, greenlighting a music-themed project from the producers of “Hairspray” and “Queer Eye” as well as an improv gameshow toplined by “Late Late Show” host Craig Ferguson.
Eye also has recruited Drew Carey to host its Michael Davies-produced quizzer “Power of 10.” […]
Musical project is tentatively dubbed “Life as a Song” . . . “Life” will give people who have major announcements to make or questions to ask the opportunity to do so via an elaborate song and dance number. It’s based on the tuner tradition of characters breaking into song when emotions become too strong for words. […]
[”Power of 10″] an original Embassy Row format, which borrows elements from “Family Feud.” Exec producer Michael Davies worked with Carey when he was an exec at ABC during the days of “Whose Line Is It Anyway.” That skein also was hosted by Carey.
Ferguson and Carey, of course, starred in THE DREW CAREY SHOW just a few years back. I miss that show.
