If you have yet to read Esquire’s TV’s Crowning Moment of Awesome piece by Chris Jones, you need to get on that. It’s about how this guy (Terry Kniess) broke The Price is Right by guessing his Showcase Showdown bid perfectly. It’s got a few different layers to it, and some mystery/intrigue to boot.
Would love to see a film about this, if not, a made for tv movie. Read that shit, then watch (above) how Drew Carey grumbles over the win. It’s so great.
I’m glad there’s finally an explanation for why Drew Carey was such an asshole after this amazing moment. A choice quote from the Esquire piece:
“I thought, Fuck, they just fucking fucked us over. Somebody fucked us over. I remember asking, ‘Are we ever going to air this?’ And nobody could see how we could. So I thought the show was never going to air… I was like, Fuck this guy. When it came time to announce the winner, I thought, It’s not airing anyway. So fuck him.”
