A Record-Breaking Moment on ‘The Price Is Right’
Friday’s episode of The Price Is Right turned into one of the most unforgettable moments in the show’s long history. During the Showcase Showdown, host Drew Carey was left completely speechless when a contestant’s bid came astonishingly close to the actual value — so close that Carey called it “the best Showcase bid in the history of the show.”
The lucky contestant was Patrice Masse from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, who had advanced all the way to the final showcase round. His prize package included a brand-new car and an all-expenses-paid trip to Miami. After a moment of thought, Masse locked in his bid: $39,500.
The studio audience held their breath as Carey prepared to reveal the actual retail price. The energy in the room was electric — and what happened next stunned everyone.
