Drew Carey shows no signs of retiring from his hosting role on The Price Is Right. His dedication to the show is evident, and fans often show their support with shirts featuring his image and his home state of Ohio. Carey is known for his friendly demeanor towards contestants until a certain point.
However, a peculiar thing happens when a contestant loses. Carey seemingly ignores them, giving them a curt "tough luck" and turning his back. This leaves the contestant standing there, unsure of what to do. It's a sight that occurs multiple times in an episode and never fails to amuse me.
One might wonder how a man who showed such kindness during the writers' strike could seem so heartless on television. The answer lies in the fast-paced nature of The Price Is Right. With a need to have enough contestants to spin the wheel and compete in the final showcase, Carey has to act quickly.
There isn't enough time to console each losing contestant and slow down the show. His job is to keep the energy and good vibes flowing, and he does it exceptionally well. Despite the initial shock of his behavior, it becomes part of the show's charm, and I continue to enjoy watching it on Pluto TV or with my Paramount+ subscription.
The Price Is Right airs daily on CBS and can be found on Paramount+ and its 24/7 channel on Pluto TV. Marathoning this show is an experience like no other. It takes me back to those lazy sick days in grade school, but without the actual illness.
The show's fast-paced action and the unexpected moments make it a must-watch. Whether you're a fan of guessing prices or just enjoy the entertainment value, The Price Is Right has something for everyone. It's a part of our daily entertainment blend, and I'm glad to be a part of it.
