Host Drew Carey asked Craig if he was sure before leaving.

Criag played Spelling Bee where he had to pick a number from the bee hive and it would reveal a dollar amount.

On the back of the cards were letters.

If he chose the correct ones and they wrote “CAR”, he would win the car.

Craig chose 11, 7 and then 30 and 1, after guessing the correct prices of two items.

His total was $4,000 after each of the numbers was valued at $1,000 each.

Drew, 65, offered Craig to keep the $4,000 instead of the car because if he didn’t have the right lyrics he would walk away with nothing.

Craig consulted with his wife and then told the host of The Price is Right that he was going to “take the money and run?”

Drew asked if he took the money because he didn’t get the fifth card.

Craig said his instinct told him he didn’t have it.

Drew then walked over and turned the card over one by one.

The first card has a “C”, the second an “A” and the third an “R”.

The crowd then went into an uproar and Craig put his head in his hands.

However, the model working on the game told him not to be upset.

“Okay. I have $4,000 more than when I got here,” Craig said.

The price is right, hosts

The Price is Right first appeared on TV in 1972. Fans fell in love with the game show so much that it has been on the air for over 50 years. Over that time, the show has had a few different hosts. Find out who they are below.

Drew Carey – October 2007 to present

Dennis James – replaced Bob in 1974 when he missed four episodes, also presented the nighttime version

Craig Ferguson – 2014 April Fools’ Day Special

‘I SHOULD HAVE gone ahead!’

The clip was posted to the game show’s Instagram page and fans berated Craig for his “stupid” attitude.

“I should have gone and got the car!” said one fan.

“That was crazy! Sorry, I should have gone and got the car,” said another.

“The most depressing thing I’ve witnessed all week,” added a third.

“Crazy move,” said another.

“That was stupid. Always try to catch the car,” said one social media user.

EPIC FAIL

This isn’t the first time fans have mocked a PIR contestant.

Earlier this month, one contestant was asked to leave after five failed attempts.

Competitor Elvira turned the wheel slightly and landed on number 65 for her first spin.

Normally it would be a great first round, but Drew told Elvira that didn’t count.

“The wheel has to spin at least once,” said the host.

The competitor spun again, without going over 65, and landed at 45.

Drew offered to help Elvira and she reached 75 with his help.

He told her she would go around one more time and she rejected his help when he offered it one more time.

His fourth spin fell between numbers, so it didn’t count.

Elvira’s fifth and final spin scored 40, which put her over 100, and eliminated her.

Drew thanked her for coming before escorting her off the stage.

One X, formerly of Twitter, said it was “painful” to watch, while another said it was “embarrassing”.
