He probably doesn't need them (I assume he's had lasik) so it's purely an image thing. That Green Screen Show - there' a cocktail napkin pitch if I ever heard one. That's the kind of idea you come up with after your real idea meets with blank stares. Saw Carey on Letterman last night - he’s gained weight and put the glasses back on.

Good. He looks like a cranky retiree ("Get off my lawn!"). As for his Letterman-esque ironic detachment, I think that all drained away years ago, around the time of "Drew Carey's Green Screen Show." Nobody's gonna hurt Drew Carey. He's an ex-marine. He might go all R. Lee Ermey on the more flaky contestants, which could be fun ("No! Your guess was too f***ing high! What is your major malfunction?"). Old picture? Good. He looks like a cranky retiree (”Get off my lawn!”).
