A former contestant from The Price Is Right called out the show’s host, Drew Carey, suggesting he’s not a fan.

Drew began hosting the popular game show in 2007, taking over for legend Bob Barker upon retirement.

In his time as host, viewers have seen new games introduced, including the polarizing Rat Race, and some fans have even called out games as “rigged.”

Although many fans approve of Drew’s hosting since he replaced Barker, he’s failed to receive any Emmy nominations for Outstanding Game Show Host.

Barker received 23 Emmy nominations as the host and won 14 Emmys during his long tenure with the game show.

In recent remarks, a multi-time audience member and former contestant slammed Carey, indicating he didn’t like him as the show’s host.

Ted Slauson is considered a superfan of The Price Is Right,...

Those who’ve been to a live studio taping know how exhausting they are. To sit in the audience, you need to show up five hours before the taping. You get a number and are told to leave and come back an hour before. Then, the interns line everybody up according to their number and shuffle the audience inside. The actual taping isn’t short, either. It takes about three to five hours, depending on the show. It’s a full day experience, and not necessarily too pleasant when you don’t expect to win anything.

So why did Ted Slauson, a math teacher from Texas, attend “The Price Is Right” 37 times? Well, he didn’t do it because he liked to spend his Mondays waiting around in a cold studio.

“Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much...

The Price is Right is more than a game show. It's one of our richest traditions, an Easter-colored riot of sound effects, Plinko chips, Jenny-o products, Barker's Beauties, and importance. We need its aggressively nostalgic appeal for sustenance, and our kids need its Jiffy Pop-sponsored comfort for sick days. But a new Esquire article sheds light on recent contestant Terry Kniess's perfect showcase bid and casts some doubt (and a little applause) on the staggering perfection with which he bid $23,743 on a karaoke machine, pool table, and camper. Impressive, yes, but did jilted ex-producer Roger Dobkowitz clue in Kniess on the price? Instead of figuring out this mess, we're ranking Kniess's perfect bid as one of the five biggest game show scandals in history. Is it the biggest one ever? Join us for a historical rundown of the greatest game show scandals, hoaxes, and mysteries.
