The Price Is Right viewers have witnessed many amazing moments on the show, but a recent episode left viewers doing a double take when a contestant bore an exact resemblance to host Drew Carey. Not only did the contestant, Jim, look like Carey, but he also had the same attire as him, making for a hilarious on-screen moment that had fans buzzing.
As Jim stepped onto the stage, Carey himself could not help but acknowledge the resemblance. They looked like mirror images as they stood side by side, while Carey asked for a quick shot. The moment quickly became a highlight of the episode, with social media buzzing up in response.
Drew Carey’s lookalike steals the show
The Drew Carey lookalike was eager to win big. He played the Any Number game, which requires contestants to guess numbers to win a prize. The options included a brand-new Ford F-150 truck, and from the start, it was clear that Jim only had eyes for the truck. He barely reacted when a sofa was revealed as a possible prize.
Even though he was so keen, luck was not on Jim’s side as his first two guesses were wrong. He managed to get some of the right numbers in between; however, his final attempts completed the price of the sofa instead, so that was his prize to take home.
Fans react to the uncanny resemblance
Even though he missed out on the truck, fans loved his energy and resemblance to Carey, with many commenting that he also reminded them of comedian Chris Farley. Someone also joked that if there was a Drew Carey lookalike contest, Jim would probably win.
Others shared their amusement at the interaction between Carey and his doppelgänger. “This is something Drew Carey will remember for the rest of his life,” someone exclaimed. While Jim may not have walked away with his desired prize, he won over the audience, making his appearance one of the most talked-about moments in recent Price Is Right history.
