The Drew Carey Show TV Show

Nigel Algernon Wick- Portrayed by Craig Ferguson
He’s Drew’s crude boss on the show. As he is a British, poor Drew had to marry him once to get him green card and to save his job. Wick’s full name is hardly used in the series and he is called as Mr. Wick. His behavior is normally boisterous and offensive and it is also learnt that he was a cocaine addict and was forced to go in rehab. His entry on the show was greeted with a thunderous applause and when you will observe his character, you will know why?

Mr. Wick has his own criteria of firing people, he can fire every such person whose name is Johnson. Wick has lost a toe and a nipple in a fox hunt gone wrong. In show’s first April Fools Day episode, Mr. Wick gets injury in the crotch due to a crossbow and has to get his one testicle removed, which remains an oft repeated gag on the show.
