Come on down! You’ve been accused of cheating on The Price is Right! In this episode, Katie is bewitched by Terry Kneiss’ perfect showcase bid. In 2008, a man named Terry Kneiss had a perfect bid on his showcase. But he was robbed of his celebratory moment when new host Drew Carey and tPIR producers assumed the historical bid was the result of cheating. While Kneiss maintained that his perfect bid was a combination of careful studying and a bit of sheer luck, producers thought he’d been given the winning number from audience member Ted Slauson, a lifelong PIR superfan. The scandal that ensued changed the way the beloved TV game show was played forever.  Recommended Reading: The Running Man by Stephen King The Book of Essie by Meghan MacLean Weir A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay Chain Gang All Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah Priceless Memories by Bob Barker Backstage at The Price is Right: Memoirs of a Barker Beauty by Kathleen Bradley Game Show Confidential: The Story of an American Obsession by Boze Hadleigh Documentary film: Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much by CJ Wallis.  Sources: <a href='https://www.expressnews.com/entertainment/movies-tv/article/How-one-San-Antonio-man-s-obsession-with-The-12979398.php'>How one San Antonio man’s obsession with ‘The Price is Right’ almost destroyed the show</a><a href='https://www.urbo.com/content/this-guy-cheated-on-the-price-is-right-and-made-them-change-their-entire-system/'>This Guy's Victory On "The Price Is Right" Made Them Change Their Entire System - Urbo</a><a href='https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/73524/14-showcased-facts-about-price-right'>15 Showcased Facts About The Price is Right | Mental Floss</a><a href='https://www.eonline.com/news/1184315/23-facts-about-the-price-is-right-that-will-leave-you-jumping-for-joy'>The Price Is Right Secrets That Will Leave You Jumping For Joy</a><a href='https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/73524/14-showcased-facts-about-price-right'>15 Showcased Facts About The Price is Right | Mental Floss</a>  <a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/thereferencedesk">Support the show</a>
