What is my best chance to get into contestants row? (1 Viewer)

[Clown Car]

My sister is taking me to California and has lined us up tickets to go to the price is right. What can we do to have the best chances for one of us to get into contestants row?

Does your sister put out? My first thought would be to have her bang Drew Carey.

I went to the show about 10 years ago. You lined up outside and had about 5 seconds to impress someone who would refer you to be picked. Come up with something creative that they will remember you by and they think will be fun to watch running to the stage. If you act boring, you won't get picked.

She does, but she's gay.

The kind of gay that could pull off a Drew Carey impersonater? That could work.

 

[Clown Car]

I'm thinking of making a shirt that says "I'm pg with #10" on the front and "clown car" on the back. I'm not hot or cute. My sister is more fun, hotter, but won't have a clue about pricing stuff.

Close. She is twice his height but they have the same haircut.

Have her sign up with your name. Then you bounce down the aisle.

This is pretty much it. They're casting for good TV idiots, not good strategic players or anything.

Finally, it's interview time. These go down right in the open, so we get a good listen while the group ahead of us goes. The interviewer is a goateed producer, who has clearly had years to perfect his gratuitously cheesy banter. Contestant: "I'm an engineer." Goateed Producer (pretending to pull a train whistle): "Oh, like 'Wooo-woooo'? Do you shovel a lot of coal?" Shtick aside, he's asking civilization's three most basic questions: What's your name? Where are you from? What do you do? Most people just answer, then wait for him to move on.

And this—this, dear combination washer-dryer seekers, is the key. As promised, here's how you get called up on The Price Is Right: You hijack the interview. Goateed Producer's questions are boring. Don't answer his boring questions—well, do, but go beyond them. Way beyond. So when Goateed Producer reaches our spot in line, I heed the words of the hot-tub winner, and I go ballistic:

"Hey, my name's Ben Robinson, and I'm from New York City, and me and my girlfriend JUST red-eyed into L.A. this morning [untrue] and we JUST made it to the studio with a minute to spare [very true] and I can't believe this is even happening and we're completely out of our minds [possibly true] and this is just crazy, CRAZY, oh my God this is GREAT!!!!"

Goateed Producer notes my beard and tells me I have a little mountain-man thing going on. I tell him I like to think of it as having a little Cliffhangers thing going on. See, dude, I know the show and the games played on it! I care!!! I'M KNOWLEDGEABLE AND F###ING PSYCHED. My girlfriend, sister, and brother-in-law all follow suit. Excitement, banter, youth—we nail it. One of us absolutely is getting on this ####### show.

This is all excellent advice. Cheese it up BIG TIME. Lie. Basically act like a complete tool.

My wife went when she first moved out to Cali from Louisiana and had a "puffy paint" shirt with a picture of Bob Barker that said "My First Love", and even lathered them with the Cajun accent, lied about her job and still didn't get called up.... but that's the way to do it.

A buddy of mine used to run "the circuit" in his early 20s. He did stand up and could "turn on" the personality as needed. Made it on 'Price is Right', 'Beat the Geeks', and 'Ben Steins Money', plus a bunch of other (even smaller) game shows. Made enough to have some walking around money.

No, she didn't cheese it up enough.

Well if you bring your 9 kids with you I think the odds that one of you get selected is pretty decent.

 

[Clown Car]

Nope, leaving them all at home! Actually, the oldest is moving out the week before. I'm so excited. We just booked everything and I sent her the above links and some others I found. Getting started on my shirt!

Thanks for the info. I will let you know if I will be on!

Good luck. In case you get on and are last to bid, do not bet $1. Make the bet $69 and I promise you hilarity will ensue.

Unless you are a part of a large group, your chances are slim.

Beyond that, they are looking for key demographics: military, college person, senior citizen, minority, cute girl with big boobs.

I have seen a few contestants bid 420 on everything. I don't think they ever won.

 

[Clown Car]

I have my clown car 10 shirt ready. I have studied up on my gaming strategies. I'm going on Tuesday. Thoughts prayers wishes that I get picked and win big. This could mean the addition on my house I need! Good vibes from the FFA will mean a lot!
