Drew Carey Comes Down on One Knee

The way to Drew Carey's heart turned out to be through his stomach.

The sitcom star turned game show host popped the question Tuesday to girlfriend Nicole Jaracz, a recent culinary school grad, according to Carey's rep, Christina Papadopolous.

"It will be the first marriage for both. No date for a wedding has been set yet," she said in a statement. "They are both very happy and excited about their future together."

Aside from the thrill he must be feeling that his beloved Cleveland Indians are in the playoffs, Carey has been busy gearing up for his big debut as Bob Barker's successor on The Price Is Right.

Barker retired in June and Carey, a former stand-up comic and a veteran of his self-titled sitcom and Whose Line Is It Anyway, was tapped to come on down in July.

After his gig hosting CBS' The Power of 10 this summer, production kicked off on new episodes of Price and went smoothly for the most part, minus one trip to the emergency room.

Carey's left arm got banged up in August when he caught it in a spinning wheel while rehearsing the Grocery Game, which has contestants guessing the price of common household items. After his hand was fitted with a splint at a nearby hospital, Carey proudly showed off pictures of his injured appendage that he took with his iPhone.

The classic game show's 36th season, featuring Carey hoisting the skinny mike, premieres Monday.
