Drew Carey, the host of The Price Is Right, appeared to have a moment of forgetfulness while overseeing a typical game featured on the program.
Fortunately, a contestant was close by to step in and ensure everything continued smoothly.
Drew, 66, became the game show host in 2007. He brings a unique style to the stage, occasionally making jokes or empathizing with contestants facing big decisions.
He also provides support when necessary, ensuring that they grasp the rules of the games, aiding in the operation of a game, or informing contestants about the responses that the majority of the audience shouted as possible answers.
He has been a devoted fan of the gameshow for years and appears to have a good understanding of the different games involved.
Drew also explains game changes or noticeable differences to the contestants, studio audience, and viewers at home.
As the game show has been on the air for a long time, many viewers at home and those in the audience have grown accustomed to the various games and their mechanics.
A contestant on The Price Is Right came to Drew's rescue during a moment when he momentarily blanked out.
In a recent episode of The Price Is Right, Drew introduced the classic game Bullseye to a contestant. As they approached the gameboard, the contestant expressed their familiarity with the rules.
"Hey Christian, we're about to play a game called, uh... um," Drew said, struggling to recall the name.
“Got it!” the contestant exclaimed, gesturing towards the name that lit up on the gameboard.
Christian faced the audience and shrugged, a playful look on his face as laughter erupted around him at the unexpected moment.
"Thanks a lot!" Drew laughed, amused by the blunder as he leaned back against the game board.
"The host remarked, 'I'm mentally reviewing the rules.'"
“Alright, everyone! Welcome to The…Price Is Right!” Drew quipped before diving into the rules of the game.
The game showcases grocery or household items priced under $5 each. Participants select a product and inform Drew of the quantity they desire, aiming for a total cost that falls between $10 and $12 on the board.
Christian regularly enjoys Vitamin Water and decided to buy six bottles, which was one more than he intended. The total cost came to $13.14.
“Wow! That was really close. So close,” Drew exclaimed, then offered him another opportunity.
On this occasion, Christian opted for yogurt and glanced at a few friends in the crowd for assistance. He informed Drew that he would select four of them.
"Two?" Drew inquired, but the contestant quickly set him straight.
“Oh, my mistake, it’s actually four,” Drew said as he approached the gameboard and pressed the button under the yogurt, which displayed a price of $2.99 for each one.
That was exactly right, as Christian's total came to $11.96. He joyfully celebrated his big win, a trip to the Berkshires, by shouting with excitement and quickly running over to embrace model Manuela Arbaelez.
"Ha, we just had a round of...Bullseye," Drew quipped, then added, "We'll return...to give the...wheel another go."
Fans of TPIR shared their thoughts on Drew's 'senior moment' during the broadcast.
Supporters rejoiced over the contestant's major victory, while others highlighted memorable moments from the game segment, such as Drew's amusing "senior moment" during the performance.
Multiple commenters referenced "George's laugh" or "George's wicked laugh," in reference to announcer George Gray.
Nonetheless, some found humor in how the contestant "threw Drew off his rhythm."
"A commenter noted, 'Drew experienced a bit of a senior moment, but it ended up giving everyone a good laugh.'"
