So I liked the supporting cast on DCS (not just Ryan) but not Carey himself.  This was the premiere for Season Four but was probably taped as a rerun, since it aired right before Whose Line Is It Anyway?  (More on that in awhile.)  This episode has Drew the victim of a nine-year conspiracy of revenge by fellow employees.  Meanwhile, Lewis sells Mimi mood makeup and she has a one-night stand with a man who turns out to be married.

Series regulars:

  • Diedrich Bader as Oswald Lee Harvey
  • Drew Carey as Drew Carey (except not Drew Carey the celebrity but a Drew Carey works in a department store)
  • Craig Ferguson as Carey's boss Nigel Wick
  • Kathy Kinney as Mimi Bobeck
  • Krista Miller as Kate O'Brien
  • Ryan Stiles as Lewis Kiniski

Maintenance Guy Jim O'Heir was Kelsy on Ellen the season before, while Kevin McDonald, who's Heller here, was Chuck at the radio station on Ellen that season.  The writer(s) and director aren't mentioned at IMDB so I'm omitting them, but they didn't ring a bell when I saw them onscreen.
