In the segment, opponents are challenged to bid as close as possible to the value of the showcase, without exceeding it.
If the competitor’s bid is within a certain amount of the window’s retail price, they can win both windows, which was the case for a young player named Alexandra.
The showcase included a massage chair, a hot tub and a tropical getaway to the Seychelles.
After getting help from her mother in the audience, Alexandra estimated the retail price to be $22,500.
She stood nervously behind the podium, hands in prayer, as host Drew Carey, 66, revealed the correct retail price was $22,664.
WILD REACTION
The crowd cheered Alexandra, who appeared in disbelief as she repeatedly asked Drew if she had won.
Drew revealed that Alexandra was the double winner of the showcase, as she accumulated over $250,000.
Alexandra’s mother then ran onto the stage and hugged her daughter, causing the pair to fall to the floor.
They seemed unfazed by their mistake and rolled on the floor, still hugging each other.
“The victory literally knocked them to the ground!” the game show joked in a post on its official Instagram page, which featured a clip of the moment.
“I loved the hug from mother bear ending in a fall. Cherry on top for such a beautiful ending,” commented one person.
“Mommy was READY for this moment!!” said another.
“How cute!!! Her mom ran over and hugged her so hard she fell! Haha? Adorable!!!” she gushed a third.
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.
Bob Barker – 1972 to June 2007 (also became executive producer in 1988)
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
Fans of The Price is Right regularly see wild behavior from contestants as their enthusiasm for the show is encouraged.
The CBS show originated with the late Bob Barker as host for more than three decades before Drew replaced him in 2007.
Last month, Drew became the longest-serving host of a game show currently on the air after Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak retired.
The Drew Carey Show alum discussed the milestone in an interview with TV insider.
“I just show up, clock in and hope to have a job every day,” said the actor.
‘I CAN’T IMAGINE GIVING UP’
“I have a goal: I want to keep going until I die. This is my 18th season. I need to get 35 and 41 so I can catch Bob Barker and Pat Sajak,” Drew revealed.
“The longest I’ve been on TV was on The Drew Carey Show, nine years. After completing 10 years here, I thought, ‘Wow, that’s the longest I’ve ever had a job in my life,” the comic continued.
“It’s a huge part of my day, my year, my life. I can’t imagine giving this up.
“I don’t like CBS knowing this, but it will be a few years before my next contract negotiation.
“I can quit whenever I want!” he added.
