In a twist that has fans buzzing with excitement and confusion, The Price Is Right host Drew Carey has made headlines after jokingly revealing he had “married” a contestant — all during a live broadcast of the show!
Known for his improvisational humor and laid-back charm, Drew Carey never misses a chance to playfully engage with contestants. But this week’s episode took things to a whole new level when Drew welcomed a new player onto the stage who bore a very familiar name — Carrie.
As the cameras rolled, Drew invited the contestant on stage, noticing the name tag read “Carrie.” With a twinkle in his eye and a classic Drew grin, he greeted the contestant warmly, exclaiming, “I love your name!” before asking, “What’s your last name?”
The contestant responded with “Carrie Clingfus,” prompting Drew to crack the joke that sent the internet into a frenzy. “We should get married!” he quipped. “We’d be Drew Carey and Carrie Clingfus Carey!”
Laughter erupted both on stage and in the audience, and the moment quickly went viral after The Price Is Right shared the clip on Instagram. Announcer George Gray added to the humor by dubbing them “lovebirds,” sending fans into a playful speculation spiral.
But that wasn’t the end of Carrie Clingfus’s on-screen adventure. He was selected to play the popular Freeze Frame game, where he had the chance to win a luxurious vacation — if he could correctly choose the right price from spinning numbers.
Turning to the audience for help, Carrie confidently stopped the game on his chosen price. The crowd held its breath… and then erupted in applause. He had won! Carrie scored a dream getaway to Padel Cararman, Mexico — a picturesque and sunny prize that added even more joy to the already fun-filled segment.
As Instagram comments rolled in, fans couldn’t get enough of the “Two Carries” moment. One user joked, “I’m ready to meet Drew too!” while another laughed, “Carrie must never turn to the audience for help — except when it wins him a trip!”
For longtime fans, this segment highlighted what makes The Price Is Right such a beloved part of daytime TV — the spontaneous humor, real moments of joy, and unforgettable interactions between host and contestants.
Drew Carey has long been known for blending comedy and connection with each show he hosts, and this recent episode only cements that legacy. Whether or not the “wedding” was real (spoiler: it wasn’t!), it was a reminder of how delightful, unpredictable, and downright charming The Price Is Right can be.
So, did Drew Carey really tie the knot with a contestant? Not quite — but he sure knows how to turn a funny coincidence into a viral TV moment.
