The Price is Right!

Back on October 14th, I took my 78-year-old mother, and 21-year-old niece Michelle to CBS Studio City in Los Angeles, California, as a gift to watch the taping of their favorite game show. I even designed my mother a T-Shirt to wear, as the loyal fan she is!

The airing date that we “appear” on “The Price is Right” Show with Drew Carey was scheduled for December 16th. No… we’re not on the stage as contestants…we were seated in the VIP Seats right BEHIND the Contestants, 2nd row from the stage, and on-camera every time the Contestants are viewed, standing or sitting! We had a great time – without waiting in the long lines for 12 or more HOURS to get in….as most fans do! Many drove 12-16 hours straight down from CANADA, just for a chance to get into the audience and potentially selected to be on the Show!

The Grand Showcase Winner, Julie, from our taping went on to have an immediate guest appearance walk-on part on "The Bold & The Beautiful" which aired November 19. She also won a trip to South Africa and big bucks! What a day! View the clip here.

VIP: It helps to be good friends with the Catering Manager for CBS Studios…. All in the same day, my dear friend gave us a private tour during filming of the soap operas “The Bold & Beautiful” and “The Young & The Restless”…. plus the catering kitchens (my niece is graduating from a Culinary College in Santa Cruz), the set design department, the executive private lounges… the prizes backstage for “The Price is Right” that day… and oh yeah… and the dress rehearsal for “Dancing with the Stars!” with shirtless Brazilian Flamenco Dancers! Plus, we had a delightful lunch in the Stars’ Café… alongside the soap opera celebrities and crew.

“The Price is Right” airs on CBS, at 10:00am/Pacific.
And yes… Drew is a hoot off-camera, very personable
