As the cameras rolled, Drew invited the contestant on stage, noticing the name tag read “Carrie.” With a twinkle in his eye and a classic Drew grin, he greeted the contestant warmly, exclaiming, “I love your name!” before asking, “What’s your last name?”

The contestant responded with “Carrie Clingfus,” prompting Drew to crack the joke that sent the internet into a frenzy. “We should get married!” he quipped. “We’d be Drew Carey and Carrie Clingfus Carey!”

Laughter erupted both on stage and in the audience, and the moment quickly went viral after The Price Is Right shared the clip on Instagram. Announcer George Gray added to the humor by dubbing them “lovebirds,” sending fans into a playful speculation spiral.

But that wasn’t the end of Carrie Clingfus’s on-screen adventure. He was selected to play the popular Freeze Frame game, where he had the chance to win a luxurious vacation — if he could correctly choose the right price from spinning numbers.
