"Kathy Kinney" is an American actress and comedian. She gained considerable popularity in the late 1990s for playing Mimi Bobeck, the outrageously made-up, flamboyantly vulgar, and vindictive nemesis of Drew Carey on the sitcom The Drew Carey Show. She had been involved with television, feature films, and stage work for years.

Drew Carey was the person who got me involved in this -- he's so patriotic.

And they wanted Drew to get up and do some of his (stand-up) routine, but he hadn't done it in a while and he didn't feel very confident, ... So Ryan said: 'Why don't we just get up and do some improv? There's enough people here.' Drew goes, 'Oh, all right.'

We have to dance, dance now, dance a lot, dance hard, dance fast, ... I still feel it in my ankles.

It's very addictive. It's a little known fact. I saw it happen. It clicked for Drew Carey. He loved it.
