DISSING DREW
Unfortunately, Drew didn’t have the best birthday possible this year.
During his big birthday episode on Thursday, one contestant made him look pretty offended.
A few minutes into the broadcast, The Price is Right announcer George Gray joked that it might be necessary to end the episode early due to the player’s contempt.
Contestant Jeffrey wore a t-shirt that said, “2024 with future legendary Drew Carey.”
He dropped his smile and turned around after reading the t-shirt.
“Soon to be legendary?” Drew asked.
After noticing that the TV star looked a little hurt, Jeffrey laughed and clapped his hands awkwardly as he tried to hide behind Drew.
“This is our show! Good night everyone!” George jumped up and joked.
“It’s over,” Jeffrey waved to the crowd to ease the awkward moment.
