Drew Carey's Green Screen Show

Okay kiddo, so Drew Carey's Green Screen Show is a TV show where Drew Carey and a bunch of his funny friends act out scenes and skits in front of a big green screen.

The green screen is like a really big green blanket that they put behind the actors. The reason they use green is because it's a color that is easy to remove when they edit the show on a computer.

So when the actors are acting out their scenes, they are pretending to be in different places, like a beach or a jungle or even outer space! Then, when the show is edited on a computer, they can add in backgrounds and special effects to make it look like the actors are really in those places.

The show is really funny because the actors come up with silly things to do and say, and sometimes they even make up their scenes on the spot! It's kind of like playing "make believe" with your friends, but on TV!
