I finally went to a taping of The Price is Right. And to be honest, I was expecting it to be totally "cheesy" but it wasn't! It was so much fun! Infact, it has now become one of my favorite shows! (to attend)
It is a LONG day so be prepared. You are there for almost 6 hours. They have a snack bar and food that you can order from their kitchen. They also have what I call a "crack cart" that they bring around to you with Red Bull, Rockstars, 5 hour energy, candy, soda, etc.
When you first check in they will give you paperwork to fill out as well as your Name tag and your number. You are allowed to have cell phones as this point but NO photography while you are on the lot. They then take your picture with a Price is Right background of your choice which you can purchase for $20.00. As you move around the corner closer to the studio, they will ask if you want to order food for $10.00 and they have several different choices. The food is actually pretty good and I do suggest eating because it's a LONG day.
Next comes the interviews. They take a group of 12 people at a time and you stand up in line in front of the producer who will ask you a few questions while his assitant takes notes. This is your time to shine! Turn it on and act crazy. No one cares and you probably won't see these people again anyway so GO FOR IT!
After interviews, you go around another corner of the studio and this where they ask you to check your cell phones and they will give you a claim ticket so you can pick up your phone after the taping is over. Here you can sit down and eat your lunch when they deliver it to you and watch an episode of The Price is Right. And this is also the LAST bathroom call before entering the Studio.
You wait a long time outside but as soon as they load you into the Studio it's ON! It's exciting! People are jumping and yelling and dancing. They start the show quickly and before you know it, they (hopefully) will be calling your name to "Come on down!" When he announces the names they also have your name on a big cue card which is great because it's so loud in there.
In between takes, Drew interacts with the audience quite a bit. He likes to read people's shirts and ask where people are from. There is so much energy in that place that when it was all over we were pooped! It's definately a great work out!
The shows air about a month later and they will give you the airdate of your show. Even if you don't get picked it's still a lot of fun. I highly suggest going to this show. Especially with a group or for someone's birthday or other special occasion.

I personally would love to see a tape of your group interview.
ReplyDeletethat would be tricky...although they do allow us to have our phones until after the interviews, no photography is allowed on the lot and that would suck if I got kicked out.
