They Got It Wrong: 9 Celebrities Who Lost On “Star Search”

- By

Drew Carey

Drew Carey had been on “Star Search” before and had done pretty well until he competed with Joe Yannetty. Yannetty told ABC that he felt very confident and cocky that night and knew he was going to win. Carey says that he remembers his competitor wasn’t so tactful. Carey said, “He came up to me right before I went on and he said, ‘Hey, it’s a nice suit. A nice suit to lose in.'” Tacky. And even though Yannetty won that night, I didn’t know his name until I started doing research for this story. Carey, on the other hand,  went on to have a very successful career with stand up, his own sitcom, a hosting gig on “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” and his current role as the host of the legendary “Price is Right.”

Yannetty, acknowledging Carey’s success, said “I beat you by half a star, and you beat me by half a billion dollars.” Another #message moment ladies and gentleman. Always be gracious because you never know what life has in store for each of us. Maybe if Yannetty had been a bit more polite he could have worked with Carey on one of his many projects.
