The game show host was visibily shocked after a contestant made 'the best Showcase bid in the history of the show.'

A Price Is Right contestant made a historical bid during the Showcase Showdown that left host Drew Carey gobsmacked.

On Friday's episode of the popular television game show, Patrice Masse from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, was asked to guess the retail price package for a brand new Kia K5 car and a trip to Miami, Florida.


"Patrice, your wife is on the edge, I can see her right now," Carey told Masse, eager to hear the result of his bid, which he guessed was $39,500.

As Carey opened the envelope and glanced at the actual price, he was left speechless and left Masse and the studio audience gripped in anticipation.

The affable host milked the suspense further after collecting himself and said, "Let me tell you. Let me just tell you."

Masse, with his hands together as if pleading for Carey to stop beating around the bush said, "No, no."

It turned out Masse guessed within just one dollar under the actual showcase total, which was $39,501.

You can watch the jaw-dropping moment in the clip below.

For the uninitiated, the two contestants who make it to the final Showcase Showdown go head-to-head and must place a bid for their respective prize packages without going over. The contestant who bids closest to the actual price without going over wins their showcase prizes.

Rules further stipulate that a contestant who bids within $250 without going over wins both Showcase Showdown packages, which made Masse what is known as a "Double Showcase Winner".

Masse's wife, Tina, joined him on stage in a victorious embrace as the crowd went wild.

“Off by a dollar!” Carey said, adding, “With absolutely no help from anybody in the audience, by the way."

Masse took home $83,068 in fabulous prizes, prompting Carey to declare the overjoyed contestant had "the best Showcase bid in the history of the show."

CBS echoed the sentiment, stating that Masse's gameplay was " the highest showcase win this season."

According to the New York Post, Masse's prize bucket included "a Kia K5 GT-Line; getaways to Milan, Hawaii, and Miami; a Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 motorcycle; and a stack of designer duds from Versace, Gucci, and Coach."

X (formerly Twitter) users were in awe.





The last time a Showcase Showdown delivered a triumph of this magnitude was in 2008 when contestant Terry Kniess bid perfectly to the exact dollar.

The win was covered as part of a documentary called Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much.

In the 2017 documentary film Price is Right, enthusiast Ted Slauson, who frequently called out prices accurately to contestants, revealed the truth behind Kniess' win despite him claiming he came up with the perfect bid on his own.
