Last but not least: The price is lukewarm

"The Price is Right" is one of the greatest game show classics in television history. The original version was broadcast back in 1956. The concept of the show has remained unchanged since 1972. From 1989 to 1997, "The Price is Right" was also shown by German private broadcaster RTL. The principle of the show: the candidates have to guess the correct prices of items. If they are correct, the product is theirs.

Andrea misjudged the smart Hyundai Sonata at 19,849 dollars. When, for some inexplicable reason, the assistant also revealed the second highest - and correct - prize, the contestant seized the opportunity and shouted: "I've won!". Presenter Drew Carey took the unclear situation - wrong guess, correct prize revealed - in his stride and announced confidently: "Congratulations, Manuela has just given you a car".

However, the uncomplicated handling of the mistake probably paid off for everyone involved in the end: Andrea has her car, the clumsy Manuela is suddenly a star and the show, as well as sponsor Hyundai, are happy about almost 13 million views in just four days. So much viral attention for the price of a new car - a rogue who suspects calculation. (hae)
