This is what I love about TPIR... they catch their errors, allow the contestant to keep the winnings, but also restart a contest to make sure its fair to everyone else on the show.
It's good to hear they let the contestant keep the winnings as it was their error.
Yeah, because standards & practices.
if they didnt I bet she would have told all and then OH boy the investigations after would be crazy
Legally she was entitled to it. If they had refused she could have sued them and won.
@@erepsekahs And probably for much more, too.
The Price Is Right has always had a policy of defaulting in favor to the contestant if anything goes too wrong, such as the 1986 shell game incident. Some people have used this to their advantage in obviously purposeful cheating moves. For instance, look up Flip Flop Cheater. From what I saw of him, Drew seemed particularly good at making sure people who had trouble were helped while still keeping their dignity, though Bob had some good television moments having fun with his frustration, heh heh heh.
That is really classy. Let the woman keep her cash, since it was their mistake, but then also have her play again, properly, to determine her place on the wheel, and keep it fair for her competitors.
Genuinely heartwarming to hear a gameshow work so hard to do right by everyone. I'd have definitely given her the cash, but it wouldn't have occurred to me, to have her replay for her spot on the big wheel.
Drew seemed to be the kind of person who never fets angry ,he’s nice ,caring and above all patient ,i liked him whenever he says i love you at the end of his show .
I met him after a comedy show one time. He came out of the stage door with a book and put his hand out and said “Hi I’m Drew what’s your name?”
Just the nicest human ever
There was one thing about him that was mentioned in a youtube segment back in 2010, he had the Drew Carey Show and was on the price is right and whose line.
But in all of this, and i'm not sure about this, and i could be completely mistaken and dragging him under the bus, but it was some sort of controversy that they were making a point about in the sense that he f*cked someone over, either a host/time slot/co-worker. But in all fairness i could be just as wrong and it was someone who was being contempt towards him and it was the other way around.
Drew used to be "fet"
@@andrewvesci2612 You two have the same first name
The only problem I have with him is that he looks like a bum of the street most of the time he needs to shave and wear better clothes
That is a huge whoops. I am glad Drew was able to go back and just laugh at it.
I met Drew Carey back in the early 2000s at a Welcome Home for the troops at Ft Hood. He was a perfect gentleman and so pleasant to just talk to. I asked, "Mr. Carey, can I get a picture with you?" He said, "Yes, but only if you call me Drew." He was also with a very hot model that day. It's good to be Drew!
Not cheating, just an honest mistake by the people who set up the game
Not cheating, a cheating scare.
@@ChaimS Who was scared? Nobody.
The director knew immediately what happened and never for a second thought anyone was cheating.
@@stuwest3653 "I"m going to jail, I'm losing my job, there's going to be a scandal..."
The game itself is a cheat. Fine fishing line to guide the Plinko Chips is not a fair game so yeah there is cheating involved by The Price is Right.
@@Wildstar40 You aren't very bright.
$30,000 is a drop in the bucket for these game shows.
Exactly. Drew shouldn't act freaked out even if they lost an additional $10,000.
you mean the underwriters, game shows are a show which only makes money, they don't pay or give away anything, underwriters do.
@@jackson5116 Depends on the show/contest. Often the underwriters only pay out big wins. But underwriters will def use loopholes to not pay. In this case, that the game was improperly managed means she didn't "win". The show producers 'could have' also used the same excuse declaring the previous chips null & void, but I imagine that the negative publicity would cost them more than the $30.
@@tequilacollins Yup, just the backlash alone will cost them more than that 30 they let that lady win.
Nice that they let her keep the $30,000.
it wasn't her fault they screwed up and its not cheating
I never suggested that it was cheating, but I can picture the people that balance the prize books, were not happy with that, but I think we are all happy that CBS paid her, it was the right thing to do.
What other option did they have, considering it was their error?
@@DorvellTStewart Some producers might have said sorry, board was rigged to win, start over. You don't actually get your prizes until after the show airs. If you win a car, you don't win the car on the show, you get a certificate to take to your local dealership and you can add options at your cost and pick the color you want.
@@robertcarly9183
Nope.
Any time a gameshow screws up, it's on them. There's a code of ethics thanks to the scandals of the 1950's, so if there is something abnormal that happens, they usually either award the prize to the contestant, or they invite them back. That's only fair, especially since losing the prize is a drop in the bucket for the producer anyways.
Now, if a contestant blatantly cheats like say on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, having an audience member cough to assist in providing the correct answer, then yes, they have every right to strip the prize from you.
I thought this story was going to be stupid.
I WAS WRONG. This is hysterically funny.
It also confirms that there's incompetence EVERYWHERE.
Never join the military 🤣🤣
You should change the headline. The contestant was not cheating.
You’re 100% right…for when the intent is for accuracy.
The intent was more likely to get us to click.
So, it was a win and will likely not be changed.
The title isn't wrong though. It was literally a cheating scare. Sorry your reading comprehension sucks. 😂
You’ve never seen the word “scare” used in that context? It means suspected.
Good to hear that The Price Is Right's management chose to do the right thing of giving the money to her. Their the ones who were irresponsible to oversee the game was restored to its proper working order before it was used in the game show.
*THEY’RE* the ones…
@@BitSmythe dont be a duma$$ going around correcting spelling mistakes. Its so pathetic how you feel the need to correct spelling which didnt effect anyone's ability to understand the comment, but it makes you feel smart and we can only feel sorry for you type of people
@@BitSmythebeat me to it by 2 hours.
@@BitSmythe Wrong. It is incorrect to capitalize all of the letters. So, it is: "They're the ones.....". Only the "T" is capitalized because it is at the beginning of a sentence.
I thought they were sayat 1st contestant was cheating.
I love his safety glasses
why is he wearing them tho? lol
Those are rich guy glasses
Wow, This is my favorite game on The Price is Right! Cool Story.
2:00 Yay! That’s considered a gift so it is tax free. Prizes are taxable.
This is actually a good move on a game show. If the staff fixed the game for commercial reasons and they accidentally left it there, and the contestant is playing the fixed version of the game, the smart thing to do is to let the contestant keep his/her winnings because it was the staff’s fault for not double checking if the game is set up properly. However if a contestant were to rig the game somehow on purpose, then the staff won’t give the prizes or the money. I’m glad they did that to make it fair for the contestant and for the staff.
Drew Carey turned into construction Santa with that beard and those safety glasses
best show ever with honest people. I fucking love Drew Carey. What a guy.
I remember one time when they accused Pat Sajak of the wheel having a brake, he said "I don't want to go to jail". It's a stupid accusation.
1:12 Anything shady at any level always starts with a "What had happened was..."
i'm glad they gave the woman her winnings even though it was a mistake
Drew is such a nice guy!
That’s a great story and pretty classy of the production to give her the 30,000 dollars.
It was more that they're legally obligated to pay. She didn't cheat, she played the game they presented
Not classy, they messed up. Let me summarize the off camera discussion- “we f’d up and let her play a rigged game. If we don’t pay her she’ll sue us. It’ll cost 3 times the cost in legal fees. Paying the 30K is our cheapest option”
They had to. There would be no way to prove that the three drops she had wouldn't have landed in the $30,000 anyway.
I Love Drew Carey!
glad they made it right, while keeping the game fair, after the fact.
If, by some miracle someone manages to get all five chips and hit the $10,000 slot all five times, I can’t help wondering if it will immediately be investigated and if the powers that be behind the scenes will even allow it to air?
I’d think they would, considering it’s the only “Price Is Right” game to have never been won in full, but I just don’t know.
It would be like the guy that got his Showcase right on the money or like Michael Larson on Press Your Luck. It’s not cheating, it’s beating them at their own game.
@@tyvulpintaur2732
I always wondered what would happen if you spun the Plinko chip? Like is that against the rules, even if it's laying flat? Spin rate will assist in keeping an object in the trajectory of the destination you aimed at.
The spin probably would stop after the initial peg.
@@doddsino im not sctually sure on this, Bob and Drew have always instructed the person on how to drop it to me memory.
If all 9 spots are equal chance to hit (I doubt if the end slots are equal chance) then the odds are 1:59,000
Wow!!!!! I wonder if anyone got fired for not removing the fishing line?
Damn Larry the cable guy looking rough.
Right? I did a dounle take when i first noticed he was missing a front tooth.
Adds more to his persona he plays lol
Yeah, dude. Wasn't he making millions per year at one time? Maybe he just doesn't care.
You think he could afford some new teeth. I'm sure I make far less I was able to replace my missing teeth. :-D
@@GuamanianHarmonLoopHe can, he just doesn't care.
damn it's crazy to see how old Drew and Larry are getting :( I was a kid in the 90's I remember seeing Drew all over the place. Larry I knew him when he was calling into the radio all the time before he got real big.
It'll happen to you soon enough.
@@michaelstrahan2.0 getting there in my 30's now
I'd love to see that video. Has it ever aired? That would be fantastic for a blooper show.
Moments like this are usually left on the production floor.
That’s a great story. They did the stand-up thing. Plus, it was probably Dave who forgot to remove the line after the PS shoot.
Drew has always seemed like an honest nice guy. Did the Marines do that?✌💖
Nothing nice or honest about marines.
Great story!
That beard makes Drew look like Randy Quaid.
Yep 😂
Or Jeff bridges
That beard has to go drew Carey you look like David letterman’s little brother
@@robinstewart6422 hahahahahahaha
Nobody said or even implied she was cheating.
The only guy who knew what was happening immediately said it was a technical error.
Thumbed down and reported for a misleading title.
I love your radio show!!!
Well, it 's good at least that the contestant for all they knew, were playing a fair game of Plinko and they had nothing to do with the "cheating" which really isn't cheating but rather just an "oopsie" by the cast who forgot to check the Plinko board for the fishing wire from the commercial. But at least they did the right thing and give her the 30k she had "legimately" won I guess.
"they also probably thought he cost us $30,000" oh they most certainly did.
Rachel Reynolds is awesome 👌
holy shit! Drew Carey looks great!
That was nice of them to give her the money
I never thought I'd see the day when Plinko plunked up.
They weren’t expecting to have an additional 30k cost for that pc version of price, but there you are! Glad they stuck with the “if the house blows it, the contestant wins it” rule. Definitely not the contestant or Drew’s fault, and nobody needs to go to jail.
PRODUCER: Next time, take the fishing line out!!!!
PA: Sorry, my guy. 😢
For plinko I never go by amount since they have done so many specials that amount has fluctuate. I go by number of chips that landed in the center which is 4 and 1 chip in the highest non zero space.
Same, I still wanna see that episode. It's never reaired since it was first aired to my knowledge.
GREAT story. But was not "cheating" since she had no idea.
love me some Drew… thank you for your service, Semper Fi.
Drew Carey is an awesome dude!
BB got impatient with some players seemed like.
Fascinating.
Ready to for wood shop with those safety glasses with the side shields
If you can get one of the special crowd shows, like teachers or first responders or military, etc. The games aren't fixed that would be illegal but they are set up to be easier.
2:25 They couldn't afford a steak dinner after giving a way $30,000 because of their error.
I remember seeing that ad and later about them forgetting the lines.
2:28 with the stage manager immediately stepping in and saving his employer or CBS $10,000 and he gets no real accolades for it is a testament about how cutthroat it must be working in the TV business.
Nice. Way to make it right! ❤️
Drew looks so much better
Love how this guy has hair now
This shows how TV celebrities have changed. Bob Barker and other game show hosts back in the day were stars. Not so much now. I don't see Bob Barker hanging out with ordinary folks telling Price is Right stories like Drew is doing.
I respect both Drew Carey and Bob Barker but Alex Trebek takes the cake here. He chose to be the 'host' of Jeopardy instead of the 'star'. He was willing to be the butt of a joke, loved both Will Ferrell's portrayal of him on SNL and Kenan Thompson's Black Jeopardy skits. And he became a rare symbol in our society that encouraged intellectualism. I could have seen Alex Trebek popping up on random podcasts had he not succumbed to pancreatic cancer.
What are those glasses Drew 8s wearing? Sid he just come from the pistol range?
the fact they gave the woman the 30 gs goes to show they are not fixed to loose
Get him a sea food tower
That really is a good story. 👍
❤DREW TOO!!!❤
He looks really good in his older yrs.
Odd that Drew would wrap up the story by saying the guy saved the show 10K. Sounds like a casino operation. The games are rigged against you, and makes me wonder if that invisible fishing line steers chips away from center.
Sirius?
This clip was from a SiriusXM podcast. The satellitecaster YT account has plenty of other clips from this and other podcasts from the different channels.
Anyone have a video?
Drew, if you were going for the Steve Bannon look, you nailed it!
Crazy how this guy looks better than he did 20+ years ago.
$$$$$$
Money, fake hair, liposuction.
Seriously?
No he don't.
Not really.. I think Drew getting his diet right and trimming down was the main factor.
Drew looks about 80 here.
You loaded guy
Think About the what If Scenario:
If the Floor Director Doesn't Stop the chip Then That college Girl Gets the first Perfect Game of Plinko
If it wasn't for your voice Drew I would not have recognized you
Does anyone have this video of this episode drew is talking about?
I'm sure CBS does, but I assume none of it was aired.
@wilddave18073 he said in the video they re-shot the sequence for the aired show.
Ya, but my question is: Why is Drew wearing safety glasses? 🤔
Drew you do an amazing job on the show. I DVR and watch it everyday
Those glasses are bringing back the unibrow.
Who are the other people on this Zoom meeting besides the host and Drew Carey?
What happened to Larry's teeth?
Why is Drew wearing safety glasses
Easier to do the right thing by the contestants when your running a show that rakes in billions over the decades
I LOVE PLINKO!!!! ❤
Wow, that's absolutely bonkers. Good for management letting the girl keep the $30K, and even moreso to the one guy who actually remembered the board was still wired
Good on management? It was out of their hands, federal G-men were salivating at the prospect of sending these people to prison if they didn’t do this
@@enmunate What the heck are you talking about? It was a game show, not like the player rigged it herself
@@IronMan3582Game shows are under heavy federal regulation as a consequence of the quiz show scandals from the 1950's. If TPIR didnt give the contestant the money they earned as a part of playing plinko, TPIR producers would go to federal prison. They would pay hundreds of thousands in fines.
Game shows have federal agents who live on set to make sure that things are run legitimately.
So, I am talking about how TPIR was compelled by federal law to let the girl keep what she won, it wasnt that the producers were menschs, they had no agency in the matter.
Oh wow. I was hoping it was on video. They probably burned the negatives lol.
For some reason this video won't play for me but other videos will. I've tried everything I can think of. :/
Mistakes have been made since Bob barker started and they always let people take the prize. You tube has all the old videos of people guessing exact prices fore prizes even whole show cases. These two host are so kind great entertaining people love drew and he will go forever we hope.
Good story but a misleading title. No one cheated.🙄
A steak for a couple of hundred bucks ? Wow ! I’ve gotten great steak for under $30 at restaurants. And make it at home for $10.
😮
Contestant got to keep the 30 grand and then the IRS stole most of it away from them, smh
Yea, that comes right out of his share of the winnings they don't have to pay out.
Drew Carey turning into Jack Black
Omg...what a colossal error.
Larry is really going authentic on the hillbilly look 😮
No one came out and stopped her last chip, just watched the clip. She got 0, 10k, 10k, 100 and 10k.
Last time I saw Drew was on Whose Line in the 90s. I can't believe how much weight he's lost
You'd think they would test run a game of plinko while setting up
I was going to say, the only way you could "cheat" at Plinko is if you are a Jedi and can use the power of the force. That's how we know "telekinesis" doesn't exist or you would have seen him on TPIR or making a killing and setting all kinds of records on the PGA golf tour. 😉
As a college professor once said "All those that believe in telekenesis, raise my hand".
What kind of shoes did Bob Barker wear? I never really paid attention.
This tells me it's easy for TPIR to rig a game against you, as well.
damn... what kind of steak costs $200?
Why is Drew Carey wearing safety glasses?!
