'Price is Right' Halts Production After Murder of Drew Carey's Ex-Fiancee
by EG
Hollywood sex therapist Amie Harwick was murdered this week, and an ex-boyfriend has been arrested for suspicion of committing the crime. Harwick was engaged to The Price is Right host Drew Carey in 2018, but they ended the relationship a few months later. The effects of Harwick's death are being felt on the set of Carey's show, however. Read on for details.
CBS has canceled tapings of The Price Is Right for the week following the murder of host Drew Carey's former fiancée.
Dr. Amie Harwick, a family and sex therapist, was killed early Saturday at her home in the Hollywood Hills. Los Angeles police arrested 41-year-old Gareth Pursehouse, a former boyfriend of Harwick's, on suspicion of murder Saturday afternoon, with bail set at $2 million.
The Price Is Right was scheduled to tape episodes Tuesday and Wednesday this week; producer Fremantle confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that they have been postponed until the week of Feb. 24 or March 2. Episodes tape several months in advance, so the CBS show's air schedule won't be affected.
Carey, who has hosted the game show since 2007, and Harwick began dating in 2017 and got engaged the following year. They called off the engagement several months later.
In addition to her practice, Harwick appeared in a 2015 documentary called Addicted to Sexting. She had a master's degree in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University.
