It’s how we start our day at the BackstageOL offices- watching “The Price Is Right.”
And now, the iconic daytime television game show is doing something it has NEVER done before- have a “dude” show off all those NEW CARS and other various prizes.
Once called “Barker’s Beauties” (named after the show’s first host- Bob Barker), The Price is Right models have all been female in the show’s nearly 40-year history. Now it is time for the guys to show off all those trips, toasters and other appliances.
Open auditions are being held on Thursday August 30 in Los Angeles. There is also a chance to become the first Price Is Right male model on a five-episode web series on “The Price is Right’s” official website and on its YouTube channel in late September.
What are some tips for getting to be the first guy to “come on down?” Producers have said they are looking for “qualities such as their verbal skills, posing and ability to properly showcase a product,” a release revealed. Show staff, along with the show’s female models, will be the judges.
Viewers will pick the final winner during online voting through October 4.
