Jack Shannon was picked on the April 29 episode.
After putting in his bid on a DSLR camera, he guessed the closest amount and was picked for the next showcase.
Before beginning the round, Drew, 65, greeted Jack and told viewers that he was there with his father.
“Jack and his father making a living, it’s a family business where they make labels for like wine bottles, beer, paint can, anything you want,” Drew said.
“What’s the weirdest thing you’ve had to make a label for?”
Jack thought about it and came up with octagon bottles.
“Oh wow. What an exciting life Jack leads,” Drew joked, stepping closer to the camera.
Jack laughed nervously and Drew joined in on his laughter.
“Still talking about those octagon bottles,” the host laughed.
They then moved on to the prizes he could get if he won the game.
DREW’S ENCOUNTER
Jack’s dad, Richard, posted a photo of them waiting to see if they got picked on Reddit.
He told the platform users that Drew came over and shook both of their hands.
Richard said that Drew remembered about his business since his wife had won the day before.
Drew then turned to Jack and asked if he worked for his dad and about going to college.
Didn’t like Drew asking what the strangest thing labeled and then laughing at him saying ‘still talking about those octagon bottles
A Reddit user
He didn’t think they would get chosen, but he was wrong.
‘NOT FUNNY!’
While most fans expressed their excitement and congratulated Jack for getting on the show, others pointed out that Drew comment was not funny.
“Didn’t like Drew asking what the strangest thing labeled and then laughing at him saying ‘still talking about those octagon bottles,'” one fan said.
“He asked & then laughs & pokes fun about an exciting life. Not nice and not funny!”
“He’s a young guy following his father’s business. Still rude & not funny,” another fan agreed.
“I didn’t like that either. I happened to be just tuning into the show right at that moment, so I did not hear the context. But it was not nice for Drew to poke fun at the young man like that. A joke at a contestant’s expense is never okay,” a third chimed in.
However, other fans defended Drew by saying that he was poking fun at his job and not him.
