I just finished watching an old episode of The Drew Carey Show. Like sooo many, I was a big fan of Drew back in the day when he worked at Winfred Lauder and battled Mimi and hung out at the Warsaw Tavern with his buddies, Lewis, Oswald and Kate. Drew's show aired from 1995 until 2004 (9 years, quite a long run).
Here's a list of the various characters who were on the show:
Drew Carey - played naturally enough by Drew Carey. Lovable loser. An everyman trying desperately to get ahead.
Lewis Kiniski - lanky Ryan Styles played the oddball Lewis. He and his roommate Oswald were hilarious.
Oswald Lee Harvey - Diedrich Bader was the slightly dim buddy who always hung out with Lewis.
Kate O'Brien - lovely Krista Miller was great as Kate, Drew's longtime crush and only female member of the group.
Mimi Bobeck - what can be said about Kathy Kinney's performance as Mimi, Drew's arch-nemesis and co-worker. With WAY too much makeup and outlandish costumes, she made Drew's existence a living hell. Mimi eventually married Drew's brother (who dressed in women's clothes) and they had a son they named King Augustus Antonio Carey.
Nigel Algernon Wick - Mr. Wick was Drew and Mimi's boss after the first season. Gleefully played by The Late, Late Show's Craig Ferguson, who is Scottish, Ferguson played villainous Mr. Wick as an English prat, always firing some unfortunate employee (usually named Johnson). Mr Wick also got Drew to marry him in order for Wick to remain in the country when his visa expired.
