Jimmy Kimmel Had a Nice Surprise for the Price Is Right Contestant in a Wheelchair

1 minute read

The Price is Right has had a few notable gaffes lately, like when a model accidentally helped a contestant win a car or when the announcer wiped out while running backwards. But those blunders pale in comparison to the moment earlier this week when a woman who lost both her legs in an accident won a treadmill.

The winner, Danielle Perez, is good spirited about it all. “This is literally the best day of my life,” Perez, who works as a comedian, tweeted. “I’ve been popping wheelies all day.” She also tried to start her own meme about the awkwardness of it all:

Wednesday night, Perez stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! to talk about the mismatched prize with the comedian. She continued to show off how good-natured she is about it all, laughing, “Well, at least we know it’s not rigged.” Kimmel then tested her price-guessing skills and rewarded her with a much more appropriate prize.
