The USA version from the late 90s.

Drew Carey acts like he’s the huge headliner/draw for the show. But he is by far the least funny person on the show.

What I can’t remember is whether that was as obvious when it originally aired. Was the Drew Carey show so popular that it carried him? Or were people laughing at Drew with pity and hoping the show would continue (as I am right now)?
