For more than three decades, Drew Carey has remained one of the most popular faces on primetime television. The Price Is Right host has undergone a noticeable weight loss transformation since pledging to take better care of himself.

Drew shed more than 80 pounds by limiting carbs in his diet and regularly working out at the gym. His dramatic slim down led him to no longer have type 2 diabetes. “I’m not diabetic anymore,” he declared during a July 2010 interview with People. “No medication needed.”

He was happy to report that he felt “way better” after his weight loss. “I’m not taking my shirt off at the pool but, yeah, I lost a few pounds,” he told Entertainment Tonight in February 2024. “And I got a few more to lose.”

Drew looked incredible during an appearance at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles. A few months later, he also revealed that he had made some changes to his wardrobe to show off his slimmer appearance on The Price Is Right.

“I wear proper suits that fit instead of being all baggy,” the TV personality told Entertainment Tonight in February 2024. “That makes all the difference.”

Drew then joked, “It’s all CGI,” adding, “Don’t even worry about it.”
