‘Drew Carrey’ to bid adieu to ABC viewers
MUMBAI: Does Cleaveland rock? Certainly not on ABC as the heavyweight comic protagonist Drew Carrey is reported to exit quitely from the ABC line up.
In its ninth season, once the lion of ABC’s sitcom The Drew Carrey Show, will end its series on ABC. But the loyal viewers needn’t worry just yet, as the newer season is likely to make a come back on WB (Warner Brothers).
According to media reports, it is not surprising that ABC is doing away with the show on the down low, as it has burned off the past two seasons’ worth of episodes in the summer.
But although TDCS did not deliver ratings like the oh-so-popular Friends or Frasier , but it has a sort of an old world charm about it.
In finale, titled Finale, Kellie decides to marry Drew, but then goes into early labour. Drew then tries to throw together a makeshift hospital wedding so the two can be husband and wife before the baby is born.
On the home grounds, the show is currently expected to make a comeback on Star World.

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
