Chiefs’ Mom Gets a Helping Hand on Price is Right, Sparking Playful Controversy
Donna Kelce, mother of Kansas City Chiefs stars Travis and Jason Kelce, recently appeared on a Super Bowl-themed episode of “The Price is Right.” Introduced by her sons via a heartwarming video message, she initially assisted host Drew Carey with showcasing prizes, including a Hummer EV, a Super Bowl party package, and a trip to Las Vegas for the big game.
Later, Donna took her turn at the iconic Big Wheel, hoping to get closest to $1 without going over. Her first spin landed on a disappointing 10¢.
Encouraged by Carey to try again, she spun a 40¢. Then came the moment that sparked a playful debate among viewers: Carey gave the wheel a nudge, boosting her total to 85¢.
“Little home cooking from the refs, never hurt anybody,” he joked, to which Donna retorted, “Ha ha, very funny.”
While the moment was clearly lighthearted, some viewers took to social media to express their mock disapproval of Carey’s intervention, with comments ranging from accusations of cheating to comparisons with NFL officiating. Others simply enjoyed the fun interaction between Carey and the “First Lady of Football.”
