Some guy on The Price Is Right nailed the showcase showdown right on the nose, at $23,743. Drew Carey is so sedate here, and the guy who won so cartoonishly “who, me?” about it that I’m just going to assume that this segment had already been filmed, and this was a reshoot. What happened in that initial segment?

I’m guessing that Drew Carey, after Terry’s bid was dead-on, called in his secret squad of game-show ethics enforcers, who proceeded to torture Terry into explaining how he cheated. But little did they know! It turns out that Terry grew up in the ghettos of East Hartford, overcoming Dickensian child kidnappers, a vicious drug cartel and his complicated relationship with the older brother who was once his protector. During his whirlwind life, he actually had completely random — but whimsical! — lessons on the price of a Winnebago, a whirlpool spa and the matching dinette set. It was because of his amazing life that he was able to nail down exactly $23,743.

Shame nobody told him there’s no phone call at the end of The Price Is Right. He never did get to call his lifelong paramour, and she was shot in the back of the head and left for dead in a Burbank gutter. He does get to keep the dinette set.
