In a speech he gave at a Friends of Youth Conference, Drew Carey discussed that he grew up without a father and had to use the Big Brother program, but even with the assistance of the program he struggled.
When he was 18, he tried to move to California to be with his brother but for a period of time he was homeless, was selling his plasma for money, and lived off of Kraft dinner. He couldn't afford anything to put in the Kraft dinner, he made it using only water.
Drew Carey then went on to say that now he can afford the Kraft Macaroni Deluxe, and every time he eats it, he feels highly successful.
