Drew Carey’s “Price is Right” Outfit Sparks Viewer Backlash
While “Price is Right” host Drew Carey is generally loved for his affable nature and interactions with contestants, his recent wardrobe choices have drawn some criticism. During a recent episode featuring a contestant named Abigail playing “Pass the Buck,” Carey’s ensemble of running shoes, a jacket, and a print shirt sans tie ruffled some feathers.
One viewer questioned Carey’s casual attire on social media, pointing out the lack of a tie and the presence of Nike shoes. Another commenter went so far as to call Carey’s look a “disgrace,” especially considering his salary.
This isn’t the first time Carey’s actions on the show have sparked controversy. A previous comment he made about model Manuela Arbelaez’s past in Colombia drew ire from some viewers, who found the remark to be in poor taste.
However, others defended Carey, suggesting the comment was made in jest and that viewers were overreacting. The incident highlights the fine line between humor and offense, a line often debated in today’s entertainment landscape.
