When not thinking up ways to save his hometown, Cleveland native Drew Carey is fooling around with fun ideas for his CBS game show, "The Price is Right." On Thursday, April Fools' Day, Carey welcomes special guest Kathy Kinney, who will be reprising her Mimi Bobek character from ABC's "The Drew Carey Show" (1995-2002).
This is becoming something of an April Fools' Day tradition. Kinney showed up as Mimi for last year's April 1 show.
For this Thursday's show, airing at 11 a.m. on WOIO Channel 19, Mimi takes over the show as executive producer and makes some unexpected changes, including the addition of four unusual looking male models and the replacing of announcer Rich Fields with a man in a monkey suit.
Mimi was the nemesis of the Drew Carey character on the comedian's ABC series, which was set in Cleveland.
