Why Christa Miller left the Drew Carey Show!

Why would Christa Miller leave her role as Kate O'Brien on the Drew Carey Show? When the Drew Carey Show first aired in 1995, I thought it was hilarious! In this video, I discuss the show and Christa Miller's decision to leave at the beginning of the 8th season. #TheDrewCareyShow #ChristaMiller #90sTVshows

The only problem I had with The Drew Carey Show Wasn't the cast, writing or the sitcom itself. It was that the last couple of seasons ABC kept moving the show around to different schedules. I never knew when it was going to come on next.

One of my all time favorite shows. Like Married With Children, I always considered his show as a cartoon with live players. Oswald and Lewis were great as a comedy team! I loved how many girl friends Drew went thru. They were a steady flow of talented, sexy, famous women. My biggest complaint was that they changed nite and times, and went on an extended hiatus. Not a way to end an iconic show.

She was perfect on Scrubs. I loved both shows and it is terrible to have to choose but she went with her husband and it all worked out.

Ryan Stiles and Drew Carey were actually pulling double duty and both were on Whose Line Is It Anyway while The Drew Carey Show was also on the air.

It was a great show. Watched it every week. Loved Drew and the whole cast.

christa was one of the reasons why i watched as i had a crush on her.

I always loved the musical segments they did on that show

I'm a big fan of the show. I have zero problems with the last two seasons- still enjoyable and a lot of laughs. They were different. Characters being written out, mainly because the actors were doing other things. We see a lot less of Ryan Styles in season 9, even though he was still on the show. As for Christa, while I've never heard anyone say anything, I've always suspected there was some animosity about her leaving. Kate is never mentioned after the character marries and moves to Guam. The only reference to her is in the finale, when a flashback from the first episode is in the final scene. I miss TV shows this

I enjoyed the Drew Carey show. I even saw him long before he became famous at the Cleveland Comedy Club. He was the host and made the audience laugh all night. The show declined after Christa left and the show just wasn't the same.

My thoughts on Christa Miller is... I loved her on the Drew Carey show, thought she was one of the freshest faces in tv at the time. Then... she went and started having plastic surgery and ruined that face.

I enjoyed the show up to the very end. Especially when Joe Walsh was on. I thought Oswald and Lewis were hilarious.
I remember when Oswald said he had filed a lawsuit but couldn't talk about it. But would only say that they might not be calling the Styrofoam packaging "Peanuts" any more.

Wow 9 season I never knew this show ran this long.

If they knew Krista Miller wanted to leave, they should’ve ended the show with her and Drew getting married. It was dumb to build a relationship up and then completely drop it for one year after I love that show so much put it out stayed its welcome. TV shows need definitive beginnings and endings. It’s a shame when something gets canceled and it just feels like it never truly ended its storyline and character arc.

I loved The Drew Carey Show from the very beginning!!!
Loved how you only heard the voice of Mr. Bell all season long, but any fan of stand up comedy knew who it was. Then the big reveal in the season 1 finale! 😂😂😂

Then Craig Ferguson joined the show as Mr. Wick and became such a wonderful addition to the cast! Another awesome stand up comedian.

Through the first 5 seasons I watched the show faithfully...but then Mimi got to be way too much!...

I LOVED the rivalry and prank wars between Drew and Mimi (The first episode of season 2 and the China episodes are classics!!!

But then it got to the point where Mimi's attacks on Drew went from pranks to crazy pranks to psychopathic maneuvers. And she never really got in trouble for it. Drew would make her troll doll squirt ink at her and Mimi would almost get Drew fired then when everything calmed down Drew would just shrug it off and go back to business as usual.

It was funny up to a point but then it just got mean. When Mimi married Drew's brother, sabotaged his relationship, and then got Drew committed into an insane asylum, that's when I stopped watching.

A little while later when reruns of the show were running in syndication I noticed in some episodes Kate wasn't in them and the actress who played Erin on Titus was. I wondered what happened to Kate and how this new person got into the gang so fast but I didn't care all that much at that point.

Christa Miller may have been my first crush as an adolescent. 😍

It was kind of sad, watching the show in reruns knowing drew and Kate didn’t end up together other.

Christa Miller made The Drew Carey Show so fun to watch.

Stephen,

Just signed up to be a subscriber -- great job!

As your brother Dave pointed out in the link, Cleveland Rocks!! The theme for this show was awesome, and with Cleveland being the home of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, it was totally appropriate!

I look forward to seeing more of your videos!

Both things can be true: I completely understand why she left (and would have done the same in her shoes), and Drew Carey fell off HARD without Kate.
