“The Price Is Right” Drew Carey Violently Kicks Equipment During A Recent Show
The Price Is Right’s host, Drew Carey is as easygoing as they get; however, a recent mishap during the show had him showing off his violent side … well, sort of! What exactly happened that had the comedian kicking the game show’s equipment? Read on for the details.
What Caused “The Price Is Right” Drew Carey To Kick A Game Machine?
“Flip Flop” is a popular game on the show. A machine that is used for it began to malfunction during a recent episode, where Carey needed to step in.
As Drew explained how the game worked to the contestant (Leanne), he went on to tell her that she would have to guess what the price was of a prize. He noted that she could “flip” the first two numbers or “flop” the last two, with the third option being flipping and flopping.
Of course, Leanne turned to the audience for help (as some contestants do). After some thought, she decided to “flop”, settling on the price of $9,782.
Drew went on to tell Leane that when he says “three”, she was to hit the button. When Leanne pressed it, nothing happened! She tried a few times more, with nothing happening, and then jokingly said, “Oh no!”
“The Price Is Right” Drew Carey Knew Exactly What To Do
Carey ended up stepping in to help. At first, he hit the button several times; however, nothing still happened! Then he decided to take a more physical approach. He kicked the machine on its side a few times, causing it to shake while on stage.
George Gray, the announcer for the show, was heard laughing at the podium, and after the kicks, Drew went to the machine, slammed the button, and it worked! Not only that, but Leanne’s guess also was right!
Carey offered Leanne a, “congratulations” as the contestant began jumping up and down. Of course, the hilarious clip was shared on Instagram!
The “Flip Flop” game first debuted on The Price Is Right in February 2000 while Bob Barker was still the host. Perhaps during the game show’s summer hiatus, it’ll get a bit of an upgrade so that Drew Carey doesn’t have to kick again during the new and upcoming season.
