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.

When Drew Carey says GOOD LUCK to the contestants on The Price is Right, I really hate it and when he stop saying that annoying catch phrases. Drew doesn’t know when to shut up because he’s talks too much and I really hope that he should saying a lot of annoying catch phrases like “do you want to say hi to someone?” during the big wheel aka The Showcase Showdown, “missed it by that much” during the Showcase Results and stop making up jokes during pricing games. My message to George Gray the announcer: stop saying that stupid question: “do you know that closed captioning is paid for in part by the following?”. I really want to go all Jack Bauer on Drew Carey, George Gray, the models and the brain dead contestants. People wants Drew Carey to be FIRED and I really want Price is Right to end sometime in the near future if the execs at CBS Daytime do something OR ELSE…
