WATCH: Five Reasons You Need To Watch “The Price Is Right” More.
Do you remember how fun and cool The Price Is Right was when you grew up? It was the best thing about staying home from school. I used to raid my kitchen of anything with a price sticker and play it with my friends during the summer.
Well, it’s just as awesome now. In fact, more so. Here’s why…
First, this video of a guy body surfing down the audience for his ‘Come On Down” moment. (And then, further down, see how the production team let me pretend to be host when I interviewed them after their Emmy win.)
PS – when Drew Carey moves on, I totally want to host The Price Is Right. There, I said it.
Here’s the video of college student Premal Shah, a former Stanford University student celebrating his bachelor party, crowd surfing to contestants row.
Because of this awesome woman who hit 100 on the big wheel! Her awesome reaction is beyond priceless.
Because Drew Carey dances (and sometimes falls) on the set.
Then, flash back to the Daytime Emmy Awards back in June. They won the award for best game show, and they immediately got everyone’s attention in the winners room for their unbridled enthusiasm and hilariousness. As I interviewed EP Mike Richards and his team (I covered the red carpet for @RedTouchMedia,) they were even cool enough to entertain my childhood stories of watching the show. I am in love with the whole team, and still dream of spinning the big wheel, if not as a contestant, then as a fan!
Oh yeah, and because sometimes Snoop Dog shows up.

The Price is Right SUCKS because of Drew Carey. Don’t know how many more years he’s going to host the show because of his contract. Wish Drew should have his own talk show in the near future instead of hosting a boring and crappy game show like The Price is Right and he’s not in the level Bob Barker was even though CBS Daytime should have ended Price is Right after Bob Barker’s retirement back in 2007. The Price is Right needs to end in 2016 or 2017 and if they continued to watch the show, I’m going to go all Jack Bauer on everybody. Everything I hate about Drew Carey being the host of The Price is Right is that he’s very annoying, wasting everybody’s time, asking stupid questions to the contestants and he’s TALKS TOO MUCH. BTW, Drew gets NO DAYTIME EMMY LOVE.
