"The Price Is Right" model Manuela Arbelaez took to Twitter to make light of the situation after her controversial error in the game show hosted by Drew Carey. In one of her recent tweets, she said she now knows what it feels like to be Oprah Winfrey.
"Hey @Oprah now I know what it feels like to be you! Whenever you feel like giving cars away on the show let me know. @PriceIsRight, Arbelaez wrote.
On the April 2, Thursday, episode of "The Price Is Right," the model gave a free car, which is a $21,960 worth sedan, after accidentally revealing the price of the product before the unsuspecting contestant had a chance to choose it while assisting Carey with a game.
"Congratulations," Carey told the contestant. "Manuela just got you a car!"
Arbelaez looked so humiliated that she tried to hide behind the scenery.
"For those of you asking: the producers and @DrewFromTV couldn't have been more supportive and understanding. I'm not in trouble :) phew!" Arbelaez also tweeted.
Whether it was a marketing stunt is unknown but CBS dubbed the incident "Manuela's Blooper" and it does not appear to be an April Fool's Day Prank.
During the April 1, Wednesday episode of "The Price Is Right," Bob Barker appeared as the host instead of Carey for the first time in eight years.
Barker hosted "Price Is Right" for 35 years before leaving the show in 2007, when Carey took over. The 91-year-old TV legend tackled the first price-guessing game of the show called "Lucky Seven" before turning it over to Carey.
Another April Fool's Day joke pulled off by a game show was Carey making a surprise appearance on the game show "Let's Make A Deal" hosted by Wayne Brady.
"The Price Is Right" and "Let's Make A Deal" executive producer Mike Richards said there has always been "a playful rivalry" between the two game shows.
Richards told People, "It all snowballed out of control when Wayne, Drew and the rest of the casts jumped in to be a part of it, which led to an amazing crossover experience for our fans."
