Patricia Heaton is a Price Is Right model for a day in exclusive clip

Patricia Heaton‘s prime-time job on CBS’ Carol’s Second Act might be rubbing off on her — it looks like the Emmy-winner has also found a new job: as a model on The Price Is Right.

It’s all temporary, though — Heaton will only appear on Thursday’s episode of the iconic CBS game show. In an exclusive clip above, host Drew Carey surprises the audience by introducing Heaton, his longtime pal (they both hail from Cleveland and worked together when he was a writer on a sitcom on which she starred early in their respective careers), who’s showing off a TV that’s up for bids (and playing an episode of Carol’s Second Act!).

Turns out, Heaton has a surprise of her own for the audience. “I brought the whole cast with me today, and we’re taking over,” she says before introducing her costars Ito Aghayere, Lucas Neff, Jean-Luc Bilodeau, Sabrina Jalees, Ashley Tisdale, and Cedric Yarbrough, who will help model and give away amazing prizes.

Carol’s Second Act follows Heaton’s character, Carol, a divorcée and mother of grown children who leaves behind her life as a teacher and embarks on a unique second act of pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor.

The Price Is Right airs weekdays on CBS; Carol’s Second Act returns this Thursday at 9:30 p.m. ET on CBS.

Check out the exclusive preview above.
