The Price Is Right’s Drew Carey once stopped the hit CBS game show to give expectant couple an unexpected gift.
He hosted a gender reveal for couples on the set of the show.
In the episode, the game was paused for a brief moment when Carey called a contestant, Suzette, and her husband, Alexander, to perform a gender reveal ceremony for them.
The expectant mother had an envelope velcroed to her belly, which Carey pulled off for the reveal.
Before opening the envelope, the host asked the couple what they were hoping the gender of their baby was and while Suzette wanted a boy, Alexander wished for a girl.
“You can use Drew as a girl’s name or a boy’s name. It works either way,” Carey joked before opening the envelope.
The host then took out the card and announced: “It’s a girl, everybody!”
Carey then called on another couple who were also expecting a baby soon, Joseph and Amber, who shared that they were due in a few months.
After their introduction, the host opened their envelope. However, this time, things weren’t as straightforward as the previous one.
The envelope had a sonogram picture inside, which was difficult for Carey to describe.
“Okay, I got a picture right here for proof, and then…oh, I see okay,” he said as he realized that there was a note on the picture.
He then asked the couple what they were hoping for, and they both said they wanted a boy.
Carey then revealed that it was also a girl, drawing big applause from the audience members.
The little gender reveal party wasn’t a part of the usual proceedings of the show, of course, but viewers at home enjoyed the heartwarming moments.
“Aww. That’s sweet,” one person wrote under the YouTube clip.
The gender reveal wasn’t the only time that Price Is Right has helped out couples with life events.
In 2015, the game show hosted a mass wedding for couples, with Carey officiating them all.
The host told PEOPLE that he was on board with the idea from the moment it was pitched to him.
“I thought it was funny, not crazy. It was a good chance for me to have a Reverend Moon moment,” he said.
Carey said he got ordained online to officiate the ceremony, making it completely legitimate.
“There’s probably like 50 couples or something that can say they got married on The Price is Right, so that’s kind of cool,” the host said.
