Contestant Sets Record for Fastest Win on ‘The Price Is Right’

A contestant named Michael recently set a remarkable record on the long-running game show, ‘The Price Is Right,’ by winning the Clock Game in astonishingly quick time. The episode, which aired on October 9, 2024, saw Michael swiftly guessing the correct prices of two prizes in merely five seconds, as reported on the show’s Instagram page.

During the game, Michael was challenged to determine the prices of a pair of action cameras and a set of hiking equipment. The prize for correctly guessing these within a thirty-second timeframe was a bonus prize comprising first-class tickets for a South American vacation. Host Drew Carey presided over the proceedings, providing higher or lower prompts with each guess, as per the game’s rules that prohibit audience assistance.

In an extraordinary feat, Michael accurately guessed the price of the action cameras at $550 on his first attempt, taking just one second. “Yes!” exclaimed Carey, confirming the correct guess and expressing amazement alongside Michael and the studio audience. “You’ve got 29 seconds for the next one,” Carey noted, incredulously.

Continuing his remarkable performance, Michael then guessed the price of the hiking equipment at $940 after just four more seconds, clinching the victory and leaving the show with a notably new and likely unbreakable record.

The Price is Right’s social media team highlighted this achievement by posting about it with the caption: “We’ve never seen a win this speedy!” Fans of the show took to social media to express their admiration for Michael’s impressive feat. One user noted, “Never seen anyone get it on the first guess,” while another commented on the unprecedented speed of the win.

The Price Is Right, returning to screens on September 23 after a summer hiatus, is set to celebrate its 10,000th episode in February 2025. As the show continues to entertain viewers, such memorable moments undoubtedly contribute to its enduring popularity.
