Adam D’s episode of the Drew Carey hosted show aired yesterday, and not only did he show up dressed like a legit human—a stark contrast to kooky get-ups he’s known for—but he totally fucking killed it.

So how good did Dutkiewicz do? He walked away with more than $50,000 in prizes. Early in the game he won a yellow Honda Fit. Later, he made it to the Showcase Showdown, where he cleaned up, winning a trip to California, an adorable trailer… and a Nissan Frontier truck to pull it.
