Even Drew Carey Couldn’t Believe This Shocking Price Twist on ‘The Price Is Right’

After 18 years on the job, Drew Carey still isn’t fully up on his retail price knowledge, a fact he openly admitted during a recent episode of The Price Is Right where a surprisingly inexpensive item left him momentarily stunned.

The unexpected moment occurred during the June 12 episode when contestant Mary Carrion played the “Most Expensive” game.

The goal of the game is to identify which of three showcased prizes has the highest retail value to win all of them.

The items up for grabs were a selection of designer handbags, a stainless steel gas range, and an Arkrocket LED jukebox.

As the prices for the items were revealed, the gas range’s price of just $849 caught Carey completely off guard.

He reacted with genuine surprise, exclaiming, “What? They sell ranges for only $849? Unbelievable”.

Carey’s reaction stemmed from the common assumption that a major kitchen appliance like a gas range would command a much higher price tag.

However, Mary Carrion had correctly guessed that the designer handbags, priced at $3,308, were the most expensive item, securing a win for all three prizes with a total value of over $6,000.

The lighthearted moment highlighted Carey’s authentic hosting style.

He frequently mentions that he doesn’t know the actual retail prices before the show airs, often playing along with contestants and sharing in their surprise, which keeps the show engaging even for the veteran host.

This twist proved that after nearly two decades, the world of retail prices can still throw a curveball to even the most seasoned Price Is Right insider.
