  • Amber Lancaster Damages ‘Price Is Right’ Set With Her Butt, Model Embarrassed

    The Price is Right model Amber Lancaster was not so lucky during Friday night’s show. The 35-year-old model tripped and accidentally broke a light bulb on the set of the long-running TV game show.

    It all happened when the show was about to pause for a commercial break after a contestant won the “Double Prices” game. But what seemed like a normal episode took an awkward turn when Lancaster took a tumble in her stilettos, which caused her to fall backwards and accidentally hit a stage light, smashing it to pieces.

    Everyone on stage was surprised. “What… geez!” host Carey exclaimed.

    “Did I do that?” the horrified contestant asked while Lancaster’s fellow model, who stood beside the contestant, found the situation amusing and laughed.

    Lancaster was not hurt or injured and assured the audience she was okay. “I’m fine. I’m just gonna die of embarrassment real quick,” she said laughing as the game show went to pause for a short commercial break.

    After the show, the pretty blonde model took to Twitter to express her embarrassment through the hashtags #blooper #tpir #AmbersBootyVsLightbulb. Lancaster took the situation lightly and laughed off her accidental faux pas.

    She also posted a short clip of her hilarious fall and wrote: “Yep that’s me. Just stumbling around on stage for no reason at all” then added the hashtag #soembarrassed.

    Accidents are inevitable but the show must go on. Lancaster was not the only person who’s had embarrassing moments on The Price is Right stage. Announcer George Gray tripped on a treadmill in January and another model and assistant on the show accidentally gave away a $21,960 car to a contestant. The contestant gave the incorrect answer but the model accidentally uncovered the right answer.

  • Bob Barker Is A ‘Carefully Selected Fool,’ Makes Appearance On ‘The Price Is Right’

    Bob Barker’s return to The Price is Right was the best April Fool’s day prank ever.

    The audience went wild when instead of current host Drew Carey, it was the venerable game show host who came out after introductions.

    “What a welcome,” a clearly touched Barker exclaimed, adding that “I have never had a welcome like that.”

    Barker was asked to host a portion of the April Fools edition of The Price is Right and true to form, jokingly said “I know the world is full of fools, but I am a carefully selected fool.”

    Barker started hosting the long running show in 1972 and stayed as its host for 35 years. His departure from the show in 2007 was one of the most emotional moments on television.

    Looking extremely fit for a 91-year old, Barker then gave the audience a brief reminder of why he’s so loved. He handled the show’s opening salvo – the classic “Lucky Seven” game – with aplomb and one contestant was lucky enough to drive away with an SUV.

    Alas, all good things must come to an end and Barker turned hosting duties back to Carey after the first commercial break.

    The game show has a history of pulling April Fools’ Day pranks and this one has got to be among the most memorable. In 2013, the show’s models swapped jobs with Carey and announcer George Gray. And last year, Late Late Show host Craig Ferguson took over hosting duties at The Price is Right.

    But despite being away from The Price is Right, Bob Barker has been keeping busy. The host was recently seen squaring off with Adam Sandler as they reignited their Happy Gilmore feud.

    In a promo for Comedy Central’s Night of Too Many Stars, Barker is seen in a hospital being visited by Adam Sandler. It doesn’t take long for the two to trade insults and come to blows.

    But whether it’s hosting The Price is Right again or going toe to toe with Happy Gilmore, Bob Barker remains classy and witty as ever.

  • Price is Right: Sheree Heil Is Biggest Winner Ever

    A woman was in shock on Monday after becoming the biggest winner ever on  “The Price is Right”.  Shree Heil, is the new owner of a luxurious Audi R8 V8 Spyder Quattro S Tronic worth $157, 300. She won it while playing  “Gas Money” on the CBS daytime game show. In addition to that, she also won a pair of prada shoes worth $3, 045 as well as $10,000 cash.

    Contestants in the Gas Money game are required to eliminate incorrect prices of a featured car and leave a correct price.  Each time an incorrect price is eliminated the contestant gets a cash prize. Contestants can then choose to walk away with cash prize already won or risk it all and continue with the game until all the wrong prices are eliminated. Sheree risked walking away with $8000… and it paid off.

    As expected, Sheree was really excited about the victory as she jumped up and down at the show. Sheree currently drives a 2005 Toyota Corolla but will head back home to Tacoma, Washington with a significantly upgraded means of transportation. Sheree now beats the previous daytime record holder, Vickyann Sadowski who won a  $147, 517 in 2006. Though Sheree Heil may have been the biggest winner, all the other contestants won on Monday show as well.

  • Bob Barker Celebrates 90th Birthday On Game Show

    Bob Barker, the former host of the long-running game show The Price is Right, returned to the set to celebrate his 90th birthday on Thursday. “You folks appreciate the fact that it has taken me a long time to become 90,” Barker said as he returned to the stage.

    While a birthday celebration was in store for Barker, he admitted that he had already started celebrating the night before over a pitcher of margaritas. “I started celebrating last night. I’m going to have a series of celebrations,” Barker told TVGuide.com. “The former producer of The Price Is Right, Roger Dobkowitz, and his wife and the former director of The Price Is Right and his wife took me out last night. We went over to one of our favorite restaurants, Antonio’s Mexican Food,” Barker continued. “We drank a series of margaritas and rehashed the old days. They had a birthday cake for me, a huge cake, and I made a wish. Of course, I can’t share it with you because then I wouldn’t get it, but I blew out all the candles. There was wild applause. Margaritas are right for anything — 90th birthdays or anything else.”

    Barker’s return to the show was very emotional, and as he stepped onto the stage, the audience gave him a standing ovation. “The audience gave me a standing ovation,” Barker said. “I had a lump in my throat the first moment I was on the show practically. It was just a thrill, a pleasure. All the people on the show were so nice to me. Some of the people I had worked with, it was a joy to see them. And some of the people with whom I had worked and they had retired or left the show for one reason or another, they came back,” he continued. “And some of the executives from upstairs came down. It was just a homecoming. I expected to enjoy myself, but it was even a nicer day than I had expected.”

    During a recent interview, Barker was asked what it meant to him to be turning 90. I’m very excited about it because I only have to wait 10 years and then I’ll be 100 years old,” Barker answered. “They’ve already invited me back to The Price Is Right. Drew has invited me back. I’m sure it’ll be on when I become 100.”

    Bob Barker Returning to Price is Right

    You read correctly! The retired host of one of television’s most popular game shows, Bob Barker, will be returning to “The Price is Right” in celebration of his 90th birthday on December 12.

    Barker hosted the show for 35 years before stepping down in 2007. Comedian, Drew Carrey, then took Barker’s spot as the host. The last time Barker appeared on the show was in 2009 while he was promoting his new book “Priceless Memories”.

    “We’ve had Bob on just one other time since Drew Carey took over the show,” says the executive producer, Mike Richards. “It was when Bob’s book, Priceless Memories, came out and it was a priceless moment for fans. I was looking for the perfect reason to bring Bob back again and this TV legend turning 90 is the perfect reason.”

    Along with his appearance, the show will be paying tribute to Barker throughout the week of December 9-13.

    “Monday through Friday we’re going to be doing pet adoptions, which is something Bob did on the show for years,” said Richards. Barker has always had a love for animals and closed the show each day saying: “Bob Barker reminding you: Help control the pet population. Have your pet spayed or neutered.”

    “The Price is Right” airs daily throughout the week at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time.
