It’s got to be hard to contain your excitement when you’re in an environment like the set of a game show. After all, everyone is super pumped up and ready to win some cash, and you can imagine the feeling if you actually win, which is what happened during this show, when this woman won Contestant’s Row.
This woman was just $65 off when she won, with Drew Carey calling her up on stage. And, like most people at that point, she was jumping up and down, excited and at the moment. Unfortunately, she was a little too excited and wound up, knocking the host down and tumbling down right along with him. Luckily, they were both okay, and the show went on.
Vroom, Kaboom
You’d think that someone accidentally driving a prize car through part of the set would be something that only came along once, but it’s happened a few times on "Price is Right." Aside from Mrs. Brady’s accident, there was another time when one of the show’s models crashed a Mustang through a set wall.
Rachel Reynolds was supposed to have driven the vehicle to the part of the set where they were filming, to show it off. Except, she drove it straight through a wall, instead. Later, she said she “totally didn’t even realize the car had a stick shift.”
Knocking Over the Big Screen TV
The models have had their fair share of issues when it comes to the show’s recordings. Just take the time, not one, but two of the show’s models knocked over a prize worth well over $1,000.
During the moment, which happened during the filming of the show in 2011, caused a gasp from the audience – probably a lot of guys who felt the pain when the announcer said, “a brand new TV and Xbox system – right before the models knocked it over and broke it.
The Woman Who Won $1 Million in Less Than 10 Seconds
During one episode of the show, a woman named Cynthia shocked herself and the audience when she was able to win $1 million in eight seconds flat. The win came during a round of Clock Game, in which she was able to guess the exact number of several consecutive prizes – locking down a cool $1M.
Carey was just as surprised as everyone else. It’s even more surprising considering the fact she didn’t even recognize the game when he first introduced it to her. He also said, “well, it’s possible to win a million, but it’s going to be hard to do.” Not for Cynthia, it wasn’t!
It’s 4:20 Somewhere
If any contestant on the show were going to price things at $420 repeatedly, you’d think it would have been Snoop Dogg. But alas, it just so happened to be Evan Goding, who appeared on the show in 2012.
Goding priced nearly everything he came to at $420. Why? In an interview after the show, he said it was a number he just “always wanted to say.” The only item he didn’t price at $420 was a guitar, which he simply added an extra digit to and priced at $1,420.
