The Price is Right is celebrating a milestone that only a handful of shows can say that they have reached. The game show will be airing its 10,000th episode (Drew Carey’s 3,269th) on February 26th.
Contestants will “Come on down!” to play fan-favorite games with a 10,000 theme, including the popular “Grand Game” with a chance to win a $100,000 cash prize; “Any Number” where the piggy bank will be worth 10,000 times the normal value; and “Lucky Seven” played as “Lucky Ten” with ten $1 bills instead of the usual seven, giving a contestant an even greater chance at winning a new car.
In honor of the milestone, THE PRICE IS RIGHT is donating $10,000 to NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness for all they do to educate, support and advocate to improve the lives of the millions of Americans who are affected by mental illness. Host Drew Carey advocates for making mental health a priority as part of his signature sign-off at the end of each show.
The only shows that have hit this milestone are the Soap Operas Guiding Light, General Hospital, Days of our Lives, As the World Turns, The Young & the Restless, One Life to Live, and All My Children, and The Tonight Show.
Last weekend, Drew Carey went to see Phish for the first time at the Sphere in Las Vegas and he really, really, really loved it. He said he talked to Gd and declared, “I would give you all my money, stick my dick in a blender and swear off pussy for the rest of my life in exchange for this.”
Well, as soon as Trey Anastasio saw that, he decided to send the Price Is Right host a present—not just any gift, but a Vitamix blender. The singer even signed it: “Thank you, Drew! See you next time. Happy blending.”
I just hope Carey didn’t put his dick in it. Because then he really will talk to Gd!
It is a good thing Anastasio sent this before After Midnight aired because he would have had to buy a much more expensive present. The publicity Carey gave Phish last week is something bands dream of getting.
Drew Carey went to see Phish for the first time this weekend, and he saw them at the Sphere in Vegas. You know, that concert venue which has mind-blowing visuals all over its walls as the musicians are performing?
The Price Is Right host enjoyed it so much he wrote in a tweet it was like a religious experience. He could’ve left it there, and we all understood what he meant.
However… Yesterday, he was on @fter Midnight and Taylor Tomlinson made a huge mistake. She asked him, “If you weren’t being filmed right now, what would you say?”
With that, he walked in front of the podium to the center of the stage and described what it was like to experience his new favorite band.
“So, I saw Phish at the Sphere this weekend, Never saw Phish, didn’t know a Phish tune, and they fucking blew my mind off so hard.
“I had a bunch of girls with me, and I thought to myself, is this what it’s like to [he was bleeped].
“People there can verify. This is 100% true. This is what it was like. It was like being edged for four days straight. And then right before the face-melting climax at the end of the fourth day, an angel comes down from heaven, Gabriel, and he shoots fucking heroin in your arm, and he says, ‘Good luck now, Mother Fucker!’ And he leaves, and you have an orgasm for 15 minutes while your eyeballs fall out of your head!
“Next time, they play the Sphere. You better not miss it.”
And with that, Sphere’s booking people called Phish’s managers and are trying to book them for another residency. And when they do, I will break my “I will never go back to Las Vegas rule” to see them.
Seriously, that is the best review that anyone can ask for.
Now, back to @fter Midnight. The rest of the show was Thomas Lennon and Weird Al Yankovic making jokes about Phish at the Sphere, and it was beautiful.
Tomlinson should’ve said to the Whose Line Is It Anyway, “Whose show is it anyway? Your show airs 12 hours earlier on this network. This is my show. Mother Fucker!”
And Drew had another brilliant moment in the episode, unrelated to Phish. Tomlinson asked Carey, “Which one of your projects embarrasses you the most?” Without hesitation, he told her, “This one!”
#Phish at the #Sphere I swear I just talked to God I would give you all my money, stick my dick in a blender and swear off pussy for the rest of my life in exchange for this. Bro I met God tonight for real. I feel like I just got saved by Jesus no lie pic.twitter.com/Wci1OdUp3F
I have a few Phishheads in my life, and I asked them if they were going to go see Phish in Las Vegas at the visually captivating Sphere. They told me no because it was going to be too expensive.
Well, the price was right for Drew Carey, and now he is worshipping a new Gd. “I swear I just talked to God,” the game show host wrote. “I would give you all my money, stick my dick in a blender and swear off pussy for the rest of my life in exchange for this. Bro I met God tonight for real. I feel like I just got saved by Jesus no lie.”
And I want to have what he was having. And considering he was at a Phish show, you know it is the really good shit! Obviously, by what he wrote!
Yesterday was the WGA Awards, and they honored Drew Carey, who paid for their meals during the strike.
The Price Is Right host spent over $1 million at two restaurants near striking locations so that no writer would starve.
Why did he do it? Because it was the right thing to do.
And he also explained, “You writers…made me a fucking million. Everybody in this room makes some actor a million. And you deserve all the money you get. And all the credit you get.”
So, he was paying it forward. Something his accountant and agent were.
were trying to convince him to stop doing it because it was costing the comedian so much money.
But he didn’t stop because if he did, then the producers would have seen it as those who were striking were starting to give up. So he didn’t care how much it cost him because he was fighting for the people who helped him and many other actors become rich.
So thank you, Drew Carey, for having a huge heart.
