That time I was on The Price is Right

Don’t believe Tony! Toni! Tone! for a second. It definitely rains in Southern California. And it was on one  particularly flood-watered January day that my BF and I found ourselves on the CBS lot for a Price is Right taping. Because really, what else is there to do in LA when the sun's hiding?

After waiting around for a couple hours with some insane Price is Right fans (you know, those weird matching T-shirt peeps, or worse yet, the older people with “I Love Bob Barker” face-painted to their cheeks), we finally got lined up to enter the studio. On the way in, a few producers took groups of 20 for quick interviews.

I basically acted like a lunatic during that interview. Somehow, I knew that would get me called down.

And then the luck just kept rollin’ my way. Which I found infinitely hilarious.

Most random showcase EVER. Seriously... a saxophone? What would you have bid on all this?

Grand finale, complete with Grandmommy shout out. She watched the show every day of her adult life.

And there you have it. Feel free to make fun… I know I looked psychotic. Happy Friday!

Bummer about going over on the last one - I'd have guessed higher too on account of the car.

But still must have been fun. A friend of mine from college was on the show and won a trip to Madrid. She said Bob wore a ton of make-up!

So, important question... did you get to keep the grandfather clock? ;-)

Bob did wear a ton of make-up. Almost looked like a mask, no joke.

I actually sold the clock on ebay... to an absolutely crazy Floridian guy. But that's a whole other story :)

Hey, I came across this through facebook, that is so awesome! As a gambler its one of my dreams to be on a game show. I lived in Southern Cal for 2 years, that place has some fun opportunities

Um, if you ran for president, I would totally vote for you.

Hey Steve -
You're actually the talk of the FCS '01 alumni! Professional poker player now, right? That's seriously impressive. You would have won both showcases, I'm sure.

jpastor - I love you dude. You crack me up.

I've seen this before, but it is so effing funny...it still makes me laugh. The prizes are have the fun - did you get to take home that antique clock?!

Hey Steph -
I know some peeps have seen this, but I got it digitally remastered so I thought I'd share it with all!! Yay.

I did get the clock. I sold it on eBay for like half the "actual retail price." I think they lied on the show about how much it was worth. Bastards.
