The game show uploaded a clip via its official Instagram earlier this month of a player named Brian taking part in the classic game Switcheroo. Brian was tasked with selecting the missing number from five prizes, including a car. He had 30 seconds to decide what numbers he wanted to put in each square and Brian decided to take his time and think.

“25 seconds,” Carey said to let Brian know how much time he had left on the clock and the crowd shouted for the contestant to continue. “20 seconds. He doesn’t rush as much as everyone else in this game.”

Brian completed the puzzle with 10 seconds to spare. Carey counted down the seconds remaining on the clock and when the buzzer went off, the crowd reacted negatively to Brian’s answers – which surprised the host.

Drew Carey has seen it all during his tenure as host of The Price Is Right, including encounters with contestants who showed up drunk or high. “Oh, it happens here all the time. They will have a candy or I will smell alcohol on their breath,” Carey, 66, told TV Insider in an interview published Monday, June 24. (…)

“Well, hello, judgment,” Carey joked, which made the audience laugh.

Carey then checked Brian’s work and revealed that he had two good results despite the crowd’s lack of faith.

“Now one of the (correct answers) might be the car. Do you want another 30 seconds to try (again)? » Carey asked and Brian agreed. “Let’s put another 30 seconds on the clock. Prepare to change them. 3, 2, 1, here we go! »

Brian went back to the board to reexamine his answers and change what he thought was potentially wrong. He turned to the crowd for their opinion on what he should trade. Brian first changed the price of the car and the audience yelled at him in disagreement.

“The crowd went crazy and he put the 2 back on,” Carey said as Brian chose to go back to his original number for the car.

After reinstating the car number, Brian finally decided to change his answers for the ice scraper and pillow prices before time ran out. Carey had Brian’s answers checked again. Despite the changes made, Brian only had one correct.

“Uh oh,” Brian said and Carey replied, “I hope it’s the car.”

The Switcheroo board revealed that the only answer Brian got was indeed the vehicle, which was a Toyota Corolla.

“Oh my God!” Brian exclaimed and ran around the stage excitedly.

Carey has been the host of The Price Is Right since 2007 after Bob BarkerIt’s retirement. Over the years, Carey has seen a whole slew of crazy moments on the CBS game show, from crazy responses to on-stage injuries. As the series continues to unfold, Carey doesn’t see herself retiring anytime soon.

“I show up, punch the clock, and hope to have a job every day,” Carey said in a June interview with TV Insider. “I don’t think I’m the longest. I have a goal: I want to continue until I die. This is my 18th season. I have to take the 35 and the 41 so I can catch Bob Barker and Pat Sajak.”
