From Hero to Zero: Drew Carey’s Shocking Admission About His ‘Price Is Right’ Mistake!

Drew Carey, beloved host of The Price Is Right, is no stranger to laughter, excitement, and the occasional slip-up on set. But during a recent candid discussion, he shared a shocking admission that left fans in disbelief—a mistake so grave that it almost cost a contestant the chance of a lifetime.

In a heart-pounding moment on the set of The Price Is Right, Drew recounted an instance during the “Big Dice Game” that almost derailed the excitement of a player’s game. Joseph, the contestant, was playing for a brand new car, a prize that millions dream of winning.

The Big Dice Game is thrilling—players roll the dice and guess whether the next number will be higher or lower. If they roll a 1 or 6, they automatically win that number. It’s a game of chance with enough tension to make your heart race.

Joseph’s rolls began with a three, followed by a two, then a six, which by the rules, meant he didn’t need to guess on that roll, automatically securing the win for that number. On the final roll, Joseph threw a two and guessed “higher.” The prize? A shiny new car that was just within reach.

But then, disaster almost struck.

When Drew went to place the number on the board, he mistakenly said he would start with the six and that the guess should be “higher.” The crowd held its breath, watching as Drew quickly realized his grave mistake. “I’m sorry, it’s lower than a six,” he corrected himself. Thankfully, Drew caught his blunder before the game spiraled out of control. It was a lucky break for Joseph, who ended up winning the car without any further hiccups.

But Drew’s vulnerability didn’t stop there. In a rare moment of honesty, he admitted that the blunder was due to something as simple as not having his coffee that morning. This was a classic Drew Carey moment—humble, self-deprecating, and endearing. His admission of fault showed the audience that even the most beloved TV hosts are human, prone to mistakes just like anyone else.

In the heat of the moment, Drew did what true professionals do: he owned up to his error and made sure the game stayed on track. Joseph went on to win his car, and the audience left the studio thrilled, as they always do. But Drew’s confession left us with something deeper—a reminder that sometimes, a small mistake can have big consequences, but it’s how we handle those moments that truly defines us.

This wasn’t the only dramatic moment of the season. Another contestant, Evan, had the ultimate stroke of luck, rolling not one, not two, but three sixes in a row, securing his car without even having to make a guess. It was a rare, almost unbelievable occurrence, adding to the long list of unforgettable Price Is Right moments.

As for Drew, his candid confession didn’t tarnish his legacy; if anything, it made him more relatable. He’s the same Drew Carey we know and love—someone who’s not afraid to laugh at himself, admit when he’s wrong, and keep the show moving forward. Mistakes happen, but it’s how we recover from them that defines us.

This shocking revelation may have given Drew Carey a moment of vulnerability, but it also reminded fans of why he’s such an iconic host—his honesty, wit, and ability to entertain even in the face of a mistake.

Will this small blunder be remembered in years to come? Perhaps. But it’s the warmth, humor, and authenticity Drew brings to The Price Is Right that will keep him at the forefront of our minds. After all, the show is about more than just winning—it’s about the joy and excitement that Drew brings into our living rooms every day. And that’s something no mistake can take away.
