Drew Carey Reveals 'Price Is Right' Contestant Antics

Drew Carey, host of 'The Price Is Right' since 2007, has revealed that contestants often appear on the show under the influence of alcohol or drugs, such as marijuana gummies or mushrooms, to calm their nerves. In a TV Insider interview, Carey recounted an instance involving a contestant who was 'tripping on mushrooms' and identified himself as a 'skateboarding rabbi.' Despite these antics, Carey enjoys interacting with the diverse, middle-class contestants, whom he finds more engaging than celebrities. Carey has no plans to retire, aiming to host as long as possible, and emphasizes the importance of mental health in his sign-off message, a personal addition to Bob Barker's iconic animal welfare plea.
