CBS and “The Price Is Right” are under fire after a nearly US$100,000 donation was made to non-profit reproductive and sexual health organization Planned Parenthood during an episode that aired on Monday night.
Serving as a special guest contestant, RuPaul Charles, Emmy Award-winning host of “RuPaul’s Drag Race”, made a one-off appearance on the beloved game show, which is under the wing of longtime host Drew Carey.
In typical “Price Is Right” tradition — where celebrity guests often match contestants’ winnings with a charity donation — the 59-year-old drag queen pledged to donate exactly $97,266 to Planned Parenthood.
