“I think Bob made a mistake by retiring,” Carey toldEntertainment Tonightat CBS' fall schedule celebration.
“I’m not gonna make that same mistake.
I just love it.
“It was just another show I thought I would have fun with and be well-paid for…
It’s a lot more fun to do than a person might realize.
Each audience has its own personality.
It’s like mining for gold.
I’m looking for little gems with whom I can create spontaneous entertainment.
It’s great satisfaction.”
During hisETinterview, Carey said of Barker’s legacy: “He was so good at this.
He was so good at relating to people and getting them to be relaxed and be themselves.
You watch his demeanor and his attitude.
He never seemed stressed.”
