Toward the end of the first round of competitors, Drew welcomed the three players over to the wheel for the Showcase Showdown.
He told a woman named Hilary to “start us off” as the first to spin the wheel that day.
She wore a bright pink sweater and red glasses as excitedly spun the wheel.
During this game, the players are spinning to see who gets to advance to the show’s finals.
Each player can spin the wheel, which features various values up to $1, up to two times with the goal of being the contestant with the highest value that doesn’t exceed $1.
Hilary landed on $0.20 and decided to go again, but as she jumped up and down in anticipation, Drew watched the wheel and screamed as he realized it was set to land at $0.90, making her total higher than $1.
That meant she was immediately eliminated from The Price Is Right, and it was time for the next person’s turn.
MIGHTY MISHAP
While finishing up with Hilary and preparing to welcome the next player, an accident took place.
He should Hilary’s hand but was already looking over to player number two off to the side.
Drew quickly lifted up his hand, face open, to usher a contestant named Chandler over to the wheel, but Hilary hadn’t yet had time to move from her position.
The longtime host ended up accidentally hitting Hilary in the face, knocking her glasses off.
He held onto her shoulder as he apologized, and she laughed it off, as did her competitors standing behind her.
Once she moved out of the way and Chandler stepped up to the wheel, Drew took another moment to joke about the mishap.
He moved both of his arms all around, teasing that that accident happened because he was just “flailing away.”
SHOCKED VIEWERS
Viewers at home couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed on the beloved game show.
One fan shared a clip of the moment on an online forum and wrote, “Drew slaps contestant in the face!”
“I looked away for a second so I didn’t know exactly what he did, lol,” a second said, before adding. “Well, he did say sorry.”
“Having your glasses knocked off your face is never not clumsy and embarrassing,” a third concerned fan commented.
“Geez…I really need to start watching the show instead of having it on in the background,” another viewer joked.
“This was hilarious lol,” one fan simply wrote.
