Drew Carey Under Fire After Blowing Off Miracle “Price is Right” Win

Well, that was awkward… to put it mildly. A Christmas miracle occurred on CBS’ “The Price is Right” yesterday and host Drew Carey could not have cared less. It was a feat that hasn’t happened in more than 30 years. A couple days ago a contestant on “The Price is Right” nailed the price of his showcase down to the exact dollar. The DOLLAR. A guy named Terry bid $23,743 on his showcase featuring a trailer, a jukebox and a host of other high priced goodies, and the actual retail price of his showcase was $23,743. Unbelievable! Actually, completely unbelievable. … Continue reading →

Yesterday, I was blogging about everyone turning 50 this year.
