June 2024 · 3 minute read

AN overexcited Price is Right contestant has rushed the stage and hoisted Drew Carey into the air.

The host - who shed serious weight for the game show's 52nd season - didn't seem thrilled.

In the latest The Price Is Right episode, Majed was chosen from the audience to compete for prizes with Drew.

He began hopping to the stage while shouting in joy.

Majed bounced all the way next to the host, with his arms outstretched the entire time.

Drew put out his hand for a handshake, which the player turned down.

Instead, he put his arms around Drew and lifted him into the air in a bear hug.

A speechless Drew gasped in his mic as Majed swung the host around in a full 360 degrees before putting him down.

'I'D SETTLE FOR A HANDSHAKE'

The blog Buzzerblog shared the clip on X, captioned: "Majed was just slightly excited to make it on stage."

One fan replied: "Understatement of the day."

"Slightly, eh?" commented another.

A third wrote: "Well, I won't do that. First, I have to be chosen, and my shirt is too boring. Still, I'll settle for a handshake."

A fourth joked on Drew's response: "What a wet blanket…"

WINNING NEW LOOK!

Season 52 is the first season at a new studio and since the death of longtime host Bob Barker; it kicked off on Monday, September 25.

The Price Is Right left Television City after 50 years for a new location in nearby Glendale, L.A.

The show shared an Instagram video on its premiere day captioned: "The wait is over! A new season of #PriceisRight starts TODAY!"

The new studio looked flashy, with a live audience filling the seats for the first time since 2020.

But fans noticed a bigger change as Drew then walked out on stage, flashing a smile in a chic suit [seen below].

The 65-year-old ditched his facial hair and seemingly shed a few pounds, making for an extremely fresh look.

Fans barely recognized him as one person commented: "I love Drew’s new haircut! He looks neat and polished!"

Another wrote: "Drew you looks Awesome with the 60-pound weight loss and clean face."

A third wrote: "Drew looks great, lost weight, new hairdo and lost the beard."

And a fourth: "I love Drew's new haircut. He looks great. So does the set. Good Luck in your new home."

LOSS OF A LEGEND

Bob died on the morning of Saturday, August 26, 2023, in his Los Angeles home - at the time it was said to be due to natural causes.

He was 99 at the time of his death.

His publicist Roger Neal said in a statement: "It is with profound sadness that we announce that the World’s Greatest MC who ever lived, Bob Barker has left us."

Bob is survived by his half-brother, Kent Valandra, and his girlfriend, Nancy Burnet, who had been overseeing his care.

Bob began hosting The Price is Right in 1972 and held an impressive 35-year run before his retirement.

Due to his passion for animal rights, his iconic tagline at the end of each episode was: “Help control the pet population.

"Have your pet spayed or neutered."

The iconic television star's achievements include 19 Emmys, a Guinness World Records award, and being inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame.

Who's Line comedian Drew became host in 2007 when Bob retired.
