The Perfect Spin
The studio erupted in laughter and applause. Carey, never one to miss a comedic beat, turned to the audience and quipped:
“Looks like I just hit the jackpot in love, too.”
A Joke or a Hint?
What seemed like a throwaway joke instantly set off a storm of speculation. Audience members whispered, crew members exchanged knowing looks, and by the end of the day, rumors were flying: was Drew Carey hinting at a new romance?
One extra described the moment as “too smooth to be just a gag.” Another crew member added: “He had that twinkle in his eye — the same one contestants get when they realize they just won a new car.”
Fans Go Wild Online
As soon as whispers of the incident hit social media, the story took on a life of its own. Hashtags like #LoveOnTheWheel and #DrewsPerfectSpin began trending. One fan tweeted: “Forget Showcase Showdowns — this is the real prize.”
Others insisted the “perfect spin” was more than luck, calling it a cosmic sign. Meme pages quickly flooded timelines with edits of Drew surrounded by floating hearts, dollar bills, and spinning wheels.
Romance Rumors Swirl
Though Carey has remained quiet about the joke, online detectives are convinced he’s seeing someone new. Fan forums are filled with theories, some even claiming the mystery romance may be linked to someone from the show’s production team.
Still, without confirmation, the rumor remains just that — a rumor. But fans agree that the timing of his joke, combined with the flawless spin, was simply too perfect to ignore.
The Happiest Jackpot?
Whether or not Drew Carey was serious, one thing is certain: the moment has already gone down as one of the most unforgettable rehearsals in Price Is Right history.
As one audience member summed it up:
“We came to see someone win a fridge. Instead, we might’ve witnessed Drew winning at love.”
