Celebrate 10,000 Episodes of The Price is Right on February 26

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — The Price is Right will mark a historic milestone as it celebrates its 10,000th episode on February 26. Host Drew Carey, who has been with the show since 2007, will lead the festivities during the live taping, which promises a day filled with excitement and special prizes.

Carey will be joined by the show’s announcer and models, including Rachel Reynolds, Amber Lancaster, Manuela Arbeláez, Alexis Gaube, and Devin Goda, during this landmark broadcast. The episode will air at its regular time of 11 a.m. EST on CBS, with an encore airing on March 4 at 8 p.m. EST for those unable to watch during the day.

According to a press release, contestants will engage in fan-favorite games, all themed around the milestone of “10,000.” Notable games will include the Grande Game with a grand prize of $100,000, a special version of Any Number that features a piggybank worth 10,000 times its normal value, and Lucky Seven reimagined as “Lucky Ten,” offering contestants a higher potential payout.

In a philanthropic gesture to commemorate this achievement, The Price is Right will donate $10,000 to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. This commitment reflects Carey’s ongoing efforts to prioritize mental health, a theme he incorporates into his sign-off at the end of each episode.
