Drew Carey’s Late-Night Partying and Flirting Sparks Fear from Friends: ‘He’s Playing With Fire’

Party-hearty Drew Carey has been whooping it up in Las Vegas, where he’s wooing an OnlyFans model half his age — but insiders reveal that friends fear the lonely Price Is Right host is mired in a late-life crisis.

The 67-year-old funnyman was caught partying and flirting with young babes until 6 a.m. at an electronic music fest in Sin City in May, and an insider says that “people around him are worried he’s not doing it in a very healthy way.”

“Staying up until the early morning at a music festival where all kinds of shenanigans are going on is not a good look, especially for someone who quit drinking and overhauled his entire life when his health became jeopardized.”

Weeks before, the quizmaster was spotted wooing former Penthouse Pet Niki Skyler, 37, on a cozy lunch date.

The budding romance is his first since his former fiancée, Amie Harwick, was tragically murdered in 2020 by an ex-beau, leaving Drew devastated.

Still, the comic dropped more than 80 pounds by limiting carbs and with regular gym workouts that helped him kick his type 2 diabetes to the curb.

“Friends are proud of his progress, but he seems to be putting himself in dangerous situations where he might be tempted to regress,” says a source.

“Staying out until the wee hours is a red flag at his age.”

During a January 2024 appearance on Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?, Drew revealed his mental health battle as a teen included “two suicide attempts” at 18 and in his early 20s.

They were “calls for help. I was so mad that everybody was having a good time, and I was just tired of my life and who’s gonna miss me?” he admitted on the show.

Despite his career success, he notes, “I have a lot of that still.”

Now, sources say his partying is a warning signal to his pals.

“People understand he is lonely and feels he’s missing out on fun, but they’re advising him that he’s playing with fire by partying with this wild crowd,” says the source.
