Summary

Only one man has guessed the exact amount on the Price Is Right's Final Showcase Showdown in the modern history of the show.

He says he came up with the number by himself. Not so, says another super fan in the audience who says he fed him the answer. But wait, people backstage believe a bitter ex-producer has something to do with it.

Who is lying? We find out using all of their own stories in their own words.

We spend a lot of time in our modern culture talking about truth and facts, but the reality

1:07.7

is that these things are far more complicated than a cable news chiron would lead you to believe.

1:14.0

Think about the stories we've told so far in this season.

1:18.0
