Drew Carey’s wild rant about attending his first Phish concert on CBS’s “After Midnight” has gone viral, leaving both the audience and host Taylor Tomlinson stunned. Carey’s explicit and unhinged description of the concert, which included comparisons to sex and drug use, had the audience in stitches.
“So, I saw Phish at the Sphere this weekend,” Carey began as he began to walk wildly around the stage. “Never saw Phish, didn’t know a Phish tune, and they …blew my mind off so hard.”
“I had a bunch of girls with me, and I thought to myself is this what it’s like to—” Carey said before his audio was cut off with a series of beeps for saying something overtly sexual.
“It was like being edged for four days straight,” Carey said while continuing to describe the concert. “And then right before the face-melting climax at the end of the fourth day, an angel comes down from heaven, Gabriel, and he shoots [expletive] heroin in your arm, and he says, ‘Good luck now [expletive]!’ And he leaves, and you have an orgasm for 15 minutes while your eyeballs fall out of your head!”
The moment was so hilarious and unhinged that it left Tomlinson looking like this:

“Wny did they let Drew talk?” fellow contestant and Carey’s longtime friend “Weird Al” Yankovic thought aloud after the comedian’s rant.
“HR wants to talk to all of you,” fellow contestant and “Reno 911!” alum Thomas Lennon joked to the audience.
But Tomlinson had the best comeback when she sarcastically said: “That was so great, and we can definitely use all of it, absolutely, absolutely we can. And I don’t want you guys to take my next sentence as any indication that we can’t use it.”
She then addressed Carey. “Oh, you’d like to pass? That’s OK …Thomas, what would you replace Arbor Day with?” she said, making a joke that she was using a new line for editing purposes.
The rest of the episode was littered with cracks by Lennon and Yankovic referencing Carey’s manic moment.
This, however, was not the first time Carey has expressed his unbridled feelings about attending his first Phish performance.
On Monday, he took to X, formerly Twitter, and expressed a few more obscene thoughts about going to the concert.
“I swear I just talked to God,” Carey tweeted Monday. “I would give you all my money, stick my dick in a blender and swear off pussy for the rest of my life in exchange for this. Bro I met God tonight for real. I feel like I just got saved by Jesus no lie.”

Despite the explicit nature of Carey’s comments, the audience’s reaction suggests that his rant was more comedic than offensive. Tomlinson’s ability to roll with the punches and keep the show going is a testament to her quick wit and professionalism.
This incident serves as a reminder that even on live television, anything can happen. When it comes to Drew Carey, you never know what you’re going to get.
