Drew Carey has opened up about how he ignored heart attack symptoms in 2001 because of misconceptions he’d picked up from cartoons.
Appearing on the latest episode of Ted Danson‘s Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast, the The Price is Right host recalled experiencing an increased heart rate and numbness while jogging, which he brushed off because he didn’t clutch his chest and fall down.
