Drew Carey and a contestant playing That's Too Much!

That's Too Much! is a pricing game on the American television game show The Price Is Right. Debuting on April 19, 2001, this game is played for a car.

Gameplay

A line of ten prices, increasing in value, are concealed on the game board. One by one the prices are revealed, and the contestant must determine the first price revealed that is higher than the price of the car to win it. When they believe a price is more than the price of the car, they are asked to shout "that's too much!"

If the contestant stops at any price other than the first price which is higher than the price of the car, whether they stop before or after, they win nothing.

Host Bob Barker usually asked the contestant to demonstrate shouting "That's too much!" before the game began. Particularly unenthusiastic attempts usually resulted in admonishment from Barker and booing from the audience. Drew Carey, on the other hand, doesn't emphasize the shouting, but still requires the phrase be used to stop the game. Under Barker, after a contestant said "That's too much!", the decision was final. Carey, however, has allowed changes to be made if the contestant wishes to before the reveal.
