For one contestant on “The Price is Right,” the price of luxury turned out to be painful.
During a game of “Bonkers” on the CBS game show last week, a contestant named Henry correctly guessed the price for a weeklong trip to Hawaii. With only 30 seconds on the clock, Henry correctly guessed the trip’s price, instantly earning the contestant the luxurious vacation.
Henry was immediately overjoyed at his win, excitedly jumping up and down while pumping his arms alongside host Drew Carey.
But Henry’s ecstatic victory dance came at a cost, with Carey later revealing that the contestant had injured himself while vigorously moving his arms.
“Let me explain what happened,” Carey told the show’s studio audience.” Henry was celebrating and going ‘woo,’ and he dislocated his shoulder.”
Henry’s wife Alice filled in for Henry when it came time for the contestant to spin the wheel. Alice spun a 95 out of 100 on the wheel, prompting more celebration. “Don’t hurt yourself,” Carey joked.
The show poked fun at Henry’s shoulder injury in a follow-up Instagram post Friday. “He won a trip to Hawaii and the ER,” the show wrote alongside a clip of Henry’s win.
Jokes aside, the post also included a reassuring update on the contestant’s post-injury condition.
“Henry is feeling better and all healed now!” the show wrote.
