PRICE is Right host Drew Carey has recognized a first-time situation on the game show after hosting for 17 years. Drew , 66, celebrated a first in his career on The Price is Right after one contestant made a sneaky move with her initial bid. At the start of Thursday's new Fourth of July episode, a special buzzer went off after four players guessed the price of a grill.
Joseph offered a $2,000 bet, to which the final guesser, Vintanya, went with one dollar less at $1,999. Both Drew and Vintanya were equally shocked as he revealed the grill's exact price to be $1,999. As the player ran onto the stage, Drew made a confession about his longtime career on the game show.
"Can I just tell you, my whole career here at Price is Right...
you're the first one to go a dollar under and get the exact bid," he revealed. Drew then handed the player $500 for getting the amount on the nose, which was just the start of her success on the show. She also went on to win a brand-new Buick SUV after playing the Cover Up game.
After Vintanya made her initial bid on the show, some viewers couldn't help but note how lucky she got with the "dumb" guess. "And just like that..
. the dumbest bid becomes the perfect bid. Now that's dumb luck!" one fan tweeted out.
On Wednesday's episode, Drew had another memorable moment onstage as he "blanked" during one segment. Contestant Barbara, known as Barbie, ultimately won The Price is Right's Pocket Change segment. At the beginning of the game, however, Drew forgot.
