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.
