Price Is Right Contestant Dislocates a Shoulder Celebrating
The Story
A contestant named Henry dislocated his right shoulder during an exuberant celebration on The Price Is Right in June 2023 after winning a trip to Hawaii. After correctly guessing each digit of the prize's price within 30 seconds, Henry jumped and pumped his fists so enthusiastically that he injured himself on the spot, leaving him unable to spin the Big Wheel in the subsequent Showcase Showdown round.
Host Drew Carey announced that Henry's wife Alice would spin the wheel on his behalf due to the injury. The show's social media team posted video of the incident, turning the moment into a viral clip. The show later confirmed Henry had fully recovered from the injury.

Why It Matters
Henry's shoulder was a viral clip; three years on, the show is chasing unscripted moments on purpose. CBS renewed The Price Is Right in April 2026, and season 55, Drew Carey's 20th as host, opens this September with Wild Wheel Wednesdays dangling extra Showcase Showdown prizes, per TV Insider. The studio audience shrinks from roughly 160 seats to about 100 per taping, the losing end for anyone who queued for a name tag. The bigger bet is the first live episode in the show's 54 year history, Plinko and Big Wheel included; CBS president Amy Reisenbach told Variety she would never do it without Carey. Watch a celebration with no editing bay when the special airs in December.
