This created an issue sincePerez was wheelchair-bound and couldn’t actually use the treadmill.
According to Perez, there actually was a bit of a pause from the audience.

When they revealed the prizes the audience hesitated…
There was a feeling of, ‘Oh no, theyre not really serious.
Theyre not gonna do this, theyre not gonna put this woman through this.'”
She even expressed her desire for hostDrew Careyto potentially sign the treadmill.
“I was so focused on cash and prizes … You just wanna win.
You want to win so bad.”
This doesnt feel like winning at all!
Perez was also part of the cast for the2020 Diversity Sketch Comedy Showcase.
In the case of Danielle Perez, she just happened to have some truly unlucky timing.
One can only hope that this is the only time someone wins a prize that they can’t use.
