He recalls a memorable contestant who was 'tripping on mushrooms' and claimed to be a 'skateboarding rabbi.'
The host emphasizes that the show attracts regular, middle-class Americans, not celebrities or the ultra-rich.
Carey expresses his intention to continue hosting the show indefinitely, enjoying his role immensely.
The revelation adds a new layer of intrigue to the already high-energy game show.
