Celebrity TPIR
« on: November 06, 2004, 01:06:15 PM »
When Bill Cullen's edition of The Price is Right was on in prime time the fourth contestant was a celebrity. (I remember when Yul Brenner made his entrance dressed in cosutme as the King of Siam, but I digress.) If the current edition of TPIR were to bring on celebrities the producers would have to match the celebrity to the appropriate pricing game such as....

Cliffhangers - Sir Edmund Hillary
Cover Up - Richard Nixon
Credit Card - Donald Trump
Golden Road - Dorothy (Gale), the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion
Joker - Jack Nicholson
Now or Then - Mr. Peabody and his boy, Sherman
Pathfinder - Lewis & Clark
Side by Side - Chang & Eng
Switch? - Dr. Renee Richards
Temptation - Eve
On the Nose - Pinocchio
Shower Game - Norman Bates' "Mother"
1/2 Off - John Wayne Bobbitt

Surely, you can think of others! (and don't call me Shirley!)

I remember an ATGSer making a TPIR parody with a bunch of Simpsons stars and other classic TV stars.

I thought it was one of the most dreadful things I had ever read. </Simon Cowell>

Note to be political, but...

Flip Flop - John Kerry (Someone had to see that coming)

And someone already did see it coming.  Enough with the politics, please.

[quote name=\'alfonzos\' date=\'Nov 6 2004, 02:06 PM\']Shower Game - Norman Bates' "Mother"[/quote]I know where you're going with this, but "Janet Leigh" is simpler.

3 Strikes - Randy Johnson (or your favorite pitcher)
Phone Home Game - E.T.
Pathfinder - John C Fremont (for you history buffs)
Master Key - Moranis Rick (and Weaver Sigourney is the Keeper Gate)
Freeze Frame - J Geils Band
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

Or if you've seen "The Grudge", Sarah Michelle Gellar.

My picks would be:

DICE GAME: Donald Trump

½ off - (that singer in the news)
On the Nose - (that singer in the news)

Easy as 1-2-3: The Jackson 5
Hole in One or Two: Adam Sandler

Now, let's just make sure Larry King stays away from Grand Game

Is it wrong to nominate Bing Crosby for Punch-A-Bunch?

Too many names to list for Coming or Going
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

You get the credit for that--I was going to post it but thought it'd be too obscure for some people.

You did work with the man, but I might've gone with Joe Carcione (the legendary "Green Grocer").  But this may work out.  :)

I might as well try to come up with one of my own:

PICK A PAIR -- Dolly Parton

Doug --  who now heads for the TTD90 room
