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 should FIRED Stan Blits and Mike Richards because these two are the worst at what they do even if Drew Carey is NOT inside the head of the contestants. They don’t really understand the rules of pricing games and the Showcase Showdown and everyday people never watch the show on a daily basis. If no one is going to replace Drew Carey as host of Price is Right, the show should end in 2017 or whatever year they can think of and it’s still NOT 100% funny. They also must bring back the three model rotation for next season because having two models on every other episode is still not enough not to mention their contracts and they better NOT bring back “guest models” as well.
