This week, The ‘Price is Right’ inexplicably gave a contestant in a wheelchair the awkward prize of a new treadmill. This did not sit well with Jimmy Kimmel, who set out to make things right on last night’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’.
Jimmy welcomed Danielle Perez to the show and asked her about her experience on the show. Perez was pretty cool about the whole thing, saying of her new treadmill that she would “do what everyone else does, which is use it as a piece of furniture.” Jimmy then played his own round of ‘Price is Right’ and awarded Perez a more appropriate prize.

Perez, a standup comic, has also been tweeting about the situation:
