"The Price is Right" host Drew Carey stopped by THE TALK and revealed THE STORY BEHIND why he missed his first chance to be on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson." Carey says, "They approved me...I got a call from the booker, I missed the call because I was at a 'Full House' taping..I was friends with Bob Saget...and the Beach Boys were on!" Carey goes on to reveal that three years later, he finally got his first big break with Carson.

CBS's Daytime Emmy Award-nominated talk show THE TALK features a panel of well-known news and entertainment personalities discussing current events, pop culture, contemporary issues, family, celebrity and the trending topics of the day. The daily one-hour series is hosted by Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Aisha Tyler and Sheryl Underwood.

The hosts swap stories, challenge each other on issues and engage the studio audience and viewers at home about events in the headlines and their own homes. Show segments include guest interviews with entertainers and newsmakers, musical performances, cooking demos with celebrity chefs as well as real-world advice and tips from leading experts in fitness, diet, health, home, relationships, finance and fashion. The show was developed by Gilbert, who also serves as executive producer.
