PRICE is Right host Drew Carey has recognized a first-time situation on the game show after hosting for 17 years.
Drew, 66, celebrated a first in his career on The Price is Right after one contestant made a sneaky move with her initial bid.

At the start of Thursday’s new Fourth of July episode, a special buzzer went off after four players guessed the price of a grill.
Joseph offered a $2,000 bet, to which the final guesser, Vintanya, went with one dollar less at $1,999.
Both Drew and Vintanya were equally shocked as he revealed the grill’s exact price to be $1,999.
As the player ran onto the stage, Drew made a confession about his longtime career on the game show.
“Can I just tell you, my whole career here at Price is Right… you’re the first one to go a dollar under and get the exact bid,” he revealed.
Drew then handed the player $500 for getting the amount on the nose, which was just the start of her success on the show.
She also went on to win a brand-new Buick SUV after playing the Cover Up game.
After Vintanya made her initial bid on the show, some viewers couldn’t help but note how lucky she got with the “dumb” guess.
“And just like that… the dumbest bid becomes the perfect bid. Now that’s dumb luck!” one fan tweeted out.
DREW’S MISTAKE
On Wednesday’s episode, Drew had another memorable moment onstage as he “blanked” during one segment.
Contestant Barbara, known as Barbie, ultimately won The Price is Right’s Pocket Change segment.
At the beginning of the game, however, Drew forgot to tell her to grab a card from the wall to collect her winning change.
The comedian admitted that he “almost forgot” and joked that Barbie was “doing so well” that he just “blanked.”
Before the player finally headed over to grab her card, she turned toward the crowd and rolled her eyes at the host’s blunder.
The Price is Right Hosts
The Price is Right first came on TV in 1972. Fans fell in love with the game show so much that it has been on for over 50 years. Throughout 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 – filled in for Bob in 1974 when he missed four episodes, also hosted the nighttime version
Craig Ferguson – 2014 April Fools Day Special
She ended up winning a new Chevy with all her racked-up change and immediately jumped inside the front seat with excitement.
Wednesday’s episode also showed Drew making a jab at another player after she revealed her knee injury.
Before Shanetha won a $10,000 vacation to Australia, she told Drew she had injured her ACL while “night clubbing.”
The host then joked to George Gray, the show’s announcer, that she was “SOL with the ACL.”
The unhinged comment garnered laughs from both Shanetha and the crowd.
