This is how you can say “hey do you remember that show just was a doozy.” You just mean that it was really embarrassing for the host and everyone felt bad about it. It just means really bad or good. Another example is “did you eat french fries at that restaurant? It’s a doozy.” We had one doozy of a contest. You just mean it’s really good and yummy and tasty.
