The Drew Carey Show (1995)

S7E7 It's Halloween, Dummy

Drew seizes the chance to explore ventriloquism by enrolling in a class. Meanwhile, the laid-back Mr. Newsome takes over Winfred-Louder, relating to Drew through his own past in middle management before striking it rich. Drew takes charge of organizing the store's charity Halloween bash, where Kate makes a memorable entrance dressed as herself in a wedding gown with a fake knife protruding from her back. Newsome reveals his intention to appoint Drew as the new store manager, planning to announce it to the board the next day. However, a sudden fright from a fake bat causes Newsome to suffer a heart attack. After Lewis has the body preserved, Drew surprises the board with a ventriloquism performance featuring Newsome. While he manages to get Mimi demoted, his overconfidence leads to a mishap when he tries to sip water mid-act, causing him to drop Newsome and miss his chance at the promotion. Meanwhile
