The Price is Right is a game show where the contestants have to guess how much the prize costs. You win by getting as close to the actual retail price as you can without going over. It’s currently hosted by Drew Carey, but Bob Barker will forever be the true face of the show. The Price is Right is one of the most popular game shows amongst college kids, senior citizens, and kids who fake being sick so they don’t have to go to school. They play a lot of different pricing games, but nothing is more popular than Plinko and the climatic Showcase Showdown. I want to spin the giant wheel just one time before I die. I’ll admit that I don’t watch the show much anymore because Drew Carey seems like an imposter. I grew up watching The Price is Right with Bob Barker. I spayed and neutered my pets because he told me to. I even went to a taping during his final season as host, and that was probably the last episode I ever watched (because how can you top that?). It’s been a staple of daytime television for over forty years and there’s no end in sight. There’s no better way to spend a sick day than to wrap yourself up in a blanket while watching The Price is Right.
