Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What TV show helped launch the careers of Adam Sandler, Drew Carey, and Ray Romano?"
Star Search was a television show which ran from 1983 to 1995. Britney Spears, Drew Carey, Rosie O'Donnell and Justin Timberlake are all big stars now, but back in the 1980s, the judges on Star Search didn't think they had what it takes. All of them lost on the popular TV talent competition — though their appearances ended up helping them launch their careers. The show, hosted by Ed McMahon, was also a stepping stone for future stars like LeAnn Rimes, Dennis Miller, Christina Aguilera, Sinbad, Alanis Morisette, Ray Romano and Adam Sandler.
