VERY SAD The Price is Right long-time members SAYS GOODBYE and parted ways, host Drew Carey having an EMOTIONAL MOMENT

The set of The Price is Right is often filled with cheers, laughter, and high-energy moments—but in a recent episode, that familiar joy gave way to something far more tender. Longtime team member Scott Robinson, a behind-the-scenes legend and beloved figure among the crew, bid an emotional farewell, and the moment brought host Drew Carey to tears.

Robinson had been a vital part of the show’s inner workings for years, but his contribution went far beyond technical duties. When Carey took over as host, stepping into the enormous shoes left by Bob Barker, Robinson became his guide, his practice partner, and—most importantly—his friend. In rehearsal after rehearsal, it was Scott who acted as the stand-in contestant, helping Drew learn the intricate details of more than 70 games that make up the heart of The Price is Right.

As Carey recalled the early days, standing beside Robinson on set, emotion overwhelmed him. “When I first started, Scott was my contestant for every game,” he said, his voice cracking. “He taught me everything about this show. I love this guy so much.” The moment was raw and real, culminating in a heartfelt hug that visibly moved everyone in the studio.

The farewell wasn’t filled with dramatic speeches or confetti. It didn’t need to be. It was simple, honest, and deeply human—an exchange between two people who had shared more than just a workplace. It was a moment that stripped away the lights and glamour to reveal the beating heart of the show: the relationships behind the curtain.

Fans watching from home responded with overwhelming support. Comments flooded social media and YouTube clips of the episode. One user wrote, “Props to Drew for being a real man and showing actual emotion. We don’t see that enough.” Another added, “It’s so rare to see someone genuinely care about a coworker on live TV. This wasn’t a performance—it was love.”

In a world where television often feels polished and scripted, the goodbye between Drew Carey and Scott Robinson reminded everyone that real emotion still exists in showbiz. It reminded us that sometimes, the most unforgettable moments aren’t the ones with the biggest prizes, but the ones where hearts are laid bare.

Scott Robinson may have stepped away from the show, but his legacy won’t fade. For Drew Carey, for the production team, and for the millions of viewers touched by that goodbye, he will always be more than just a crew member—he’ll be part of The Price is Right family forever.
