Comedian Drew Carey is undoubtedly U.S. soccer's biggest celebrity fan. Last week, he officially joined the effort to bring the World Cup to the United States in either 2018 or 2022. On Monday, Carey spoke to us about being on the bid committee's board, his assessment of the current team's qualifying effort and why he loves Clint Dempsey.

Did you ever think you'd be sitting on a committee with Henry Kissinger?

Carey: "No, and I won't be asking Kissinger about any new business. I'm basically just there to bang the drum. Really it's a no-brainer to bring the World Cup back here. It's just a matter of when. We have the greatest stadiums in the world, and the interest in soccer compared to last time it was here, it's like 10 times what it was in 1994."
