A TPIR Scandal Coming?

[tvrandywest]

I just got an indirect "heads up" from someone who is in a closer orbit around the story that "The Price Is Right" laundry is about to be washed in public again via the supermarket tabloid press (such as The National Enquirer) and the tabloid TV shows (such as "Extra"). I'm told that it should all break any minute.

My sole purpose for this post is not to stir that old pot again, but instead to share an advance word that much of what has supposedly been written is quite a ways off from reality. I've not seen the full story nor spoken directly with any of the folks involved or named, but from what I've heard, readers and viewers would be well advised to have a few grains of salt nearby. While I am told and generally believe there is almost always some truth behind most of these kinds of scandal stories, it appears that there may be much distortion in the spin we may soon be hearing/reading.

Apparently some of the story concerns a period of time during which I was working on the set, and involves people I worked with. For several reasons I think it wise for me to remain uninvolved; I will have no direct comment on the upcoming story. I simply want to remind my cyber-friends that as people's lives, reputations and careers are on the line, to remember that not everything printed or broadcast should be taken at face value as truth.

Enjoy the titillation if you find it entertaining.

Wow. Thanks for the tip Randy! It'll be interesting to see what this "scandal" is.

If this so-called scandal ever comes up, I'll take a deep breath and slowly click/walk away from the story.

I believe it involves Bob beating up Adam Sandler on a golf course somewhere...

 Well, I to some extent wish that was it.  Then Barker could say he beat up both Adam Sandlers!  Seriously, if this dirt was indeed dug up by someone like the Enquirer or Extra, I'd take it with a whole salt shaker!

I'd take ANYTHING the Enquirer or anyone like that says with the whole Morton factory.

As for what it is, you folks have had better ideas than I could.

Not a clue. Then again, that's about par for the course with me.

I don't know. The Enquirer has become almost (gasp!) respectable with their coverage of OJ Simpson and Laci Peterson. Just because it's sensational doesn't mean it isn't true.

That said, I have no opinion on what I don't know is coming out of this. It certainly can't be good.

Jeez, you people.

It's about all those Todd Newton sightings in the audience!  It's P/D's evil plot to depose Bob Barker permanently!

[chris319]

I doubt they'll dredge up that old "Goodson Had a Casting Couch" story.

Barker appeared in Playgirl? Rod appeared in Playgirl?

[cmjb13]

Anybody know yet?

Before we become immersed in a tub of legal hot water with hearsay reports and speculation, I think it's time to close this thread until the story breaks.
