‘The Price Is Right’: Drew Carey Shocked By ‘Best Showcase Bid in History of Show’ (VIDEO)
This is a moment you’re going to have to see to believe!
On The Price Is Right on CBS on Friday, June 7, contestant Patrice Masse from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada was part of a historic moment, placing a near-perfect bid that came within just one dollar of the actual showcase total. (His wife, Tina, cheered him on from the audience.)
First, host Drew Carey checked in with the other contestant’s bid and showcase (which included a motorcycle and leather jacket, beachwear, and trip to Milan and Hawai’i), with a difference of $6,373. Then, he turned to Masse, whose showcase included an espresso machine, trip to Miami, and a Kia K5. Masse’s bid was $39,500. Carey took a look at the actual price and stepped back, the first sign that something special was going on. “So, let me tell you. Let me just tell you,” he said before revealing the price was $39,501.” It made him a double showcase winner. (Any contestant with a bid within $250 of the total automatically wins both showcases.)
“With absolutely no help from anybody in the audience, by the way,” Carey noted. “That was the best showcase bid in the history of the show, in my opinion.”
Masse earned a grand total of $83,068 in prizes, the highest double showcase win of the season. The prize package included: a brand new Kia K5 GT-Line automobile; luxury trips to Milan, Italy, Hawai’i, and Miami; a sporty Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 motorcycle; and designer apparel from Versace, Gucci, and Coach.
Watch the video above to see the full clip, moment of shock from everyone, and celebration.
The Price Is Right is network television’s #1-rated daytime series and the longest-running game show in television history. It is produced by Fremantle, with Evelyn Warfel the executive producer.

I saw a previous one where the guy guessed the showcase (winning both showcases) exactly and the staff suspected cheating. Drew was clearly flustered and didn't handle the situation well. You can find this on YouTube. But the contestant was able to prove that he saw the same prizes on the show from an earlier episode, so he just remembered. This was with Drew Carey hosting and Bob Barker was still alive. Bob came out in the press and criticized how the show handled this embarrassment. I think Bob was pushed out of the show because of his age and he didn't really want to go. He said several derogatory things about Drew's hosting before he passed. But they did rename the studio in his honor.

There's a story about a guy from the old Bob Barker days that was a math wizard and memorized all the prices of every single item. Then when he turned 18 he started going to the show regularly to get on it. They made a documentary on it even. I'm gonna go check out where I can see this. It was years ago I had heard of read something about him getting on and nailing the price of the bidding item to get on stage and then nailing everything else including the showcase. He probably should not said exact prices of that's true. Ha
