“It was really fun and genuine; and he cared about the contestants, he was really excited when they won,” Carey said of Ferguson.
“It’s really a great feeling; it’s surprising. I was like, ‘I’m not gonna care,’ but you really care!” Ferguson enthused.
For his part, Carey is using the prank a least partially bag on Ferguson’s profession.
