Drew Carey noticed the audience’s judgmental reactions during a recent game on The Price Is Right. The incident took place during a round of the classic game Switcheroo, where contestant Brian had to choose the correct numbers for five prizes, including a car, with only 30 seconds to make his decisions.
As Brian took his time to think, the audience grew impatient. Carey, acknowledging the tension, reminded him how much time was left, stating, “25 seconds” and “20 seconds,” as the crowd urged Brian to hurry. While others usually rushed, Brian methodically worked through his choices, much to the dismay of the spectators.
Brian finished the puzzle with 10 seconds remaining. However, the audience wasn’t pleased with his decisions, reacting negatively when the buzzer sounded. Surprised by the response, Carey humorously addressed the crowd with, “Well good morning judgmental,” which got a laugh from the audience.
Despite the crowd’s lack of confidence, Carey checked Brian’s answers and revealed that two of them were correct. Carey then offered Brian a second chance to improve his answers. “Do you want another 30 seconds to try again?” he asked. Brian agreed, and the timer was reset for another round of Switcheroo.
Brian, determined to get things right, returned to the board. He looked to the audience for guidance, swapping the numbers. As he adjusted the price of the car, the crowd loudly disagreed, prompting Brian to revert to his original choice. “The crowd is going bananas,” Carey commented, narrating the scene as Brian changed his answers for the ice scraper and pillow prizes.
Once the time expired, Carey checked the answers again. Despite making changes, Brian only had one correct answer. “Uh oh,” Brian said, worried. Carey reassured him, hoping that the correct answer was the car.
When the results were revealed, Brian’s one correct answer was the car, a Toyota Corolla. Overwhelmed with excitement, Brian shouted, “Oh my God!” and ran around the stage in celebration.
Carey, who has hosted The Price Is Right since 2007, has witnessed numerous memorable moments on the show, including wild answers and on-stage injuries. Despite these dramatic incidents, Carey doesn’t plan to retire soon. “I just show up and punch the clock and hope I have a job every day,” he said in a recent interview. With 18 seasons under his belt, Carey has his eyes on surpassing Bob Barker’s and Pat Sajak’s long-running careers, aiming to reach 35 and 41 seasons.
