Drew Carey’s TPIR Shoutout Snubs Ryan Seacrest, Fans React

LOS ANGELES, March 17, 2025 — During a recent episode of ‘The Price Is Right‘ (TPIR), host Drew Carey surprised viewers by giving a shoutout to a group of audience members named Ryan, but notably left out Ryan Seacrest, igniting a storm of reactions on social media.

This incident occurred on the episode aired on March 12, when Carey recognized a raucous group of men in the audience, all named Ryan. “A shoutout to all of the Ryans!” he exclaimed, as cheers erupted from the crowd. He informed viewers that the group consisted of approximately 20,000 members. “Anybody can join if your name is Ryan,” he added with a playful grin, suggesting inclusivity in the gesture.

Interestingly, one of the Ryans in the audience made it to Bidder’s Row but did not get to participate in any games. Excitedly, the crowd encouraged him to share his experience, mentioning, “They really want to join the group.” Fans watching the episode soon noted the absence of a mention for Seacrest, who is a widely recognized figure in television.

Social media users quickly pointed out the omission. One user cheekily remarked, “Not Ryan Seacrest lol?” A member from the audience chimed in, sharing that they had recently encountered Seacrest at ‘Wheel of Fortune‘ and gifted him a Ryan Meetup shirt. Seacrest began hosting the iconic game show this year, making the timing of Carey’s snub even more intriguing.

Other fans joined in the fun, suggesting additional famous Ryans to be included in the shoutout. Comments flooded in with mentions of Ryan Reynolds, emphasizing the growing interest in the informal Ryan club established during the episode. “They should add Ryan Reynolds to the group,” wrote one fan, followed by another echoing the sentiment.

For those interested in joining this playful community, the group provides a link for new Ryans to register and join their ranks.

‘The Price Is Right’ airs weekdays at 11 a.m. PT on CBS, continuing to be a venue for unexpected interactions and lively segments that engage both contestants and viewers alike.
