Why are there so many gay men on The Price is Right?

Comic relief?

We're so frisky. The modern shuck and jive.

It’s a fucking grocery shopping show! Gays and Fraus—DL CENTRAL

By the looks of it, there was no transition necessary R1. Ita semper fuit!

Drew loves the gay guys!

And the hot Marines & daddies!

The nighttime shows used to have spectacular Showcases, now they are no more than the daytime ones.

Well, R5, one of the gay guys today did rush up the stairs to give Drew a big hug. He also dropped his wrist rather alarmingly at the end of it.

Bc the Price is Right has always been camp

Good point, R8.

I also wondered if that was a show actors wanted to be on hoping to be "discovered."

If they want men on the show as well as women, where are they going to go to get them? The straight guys at the local stripper bar? A Texas oil rig?

Yeah, I'm sure they're all game show fans.

It gives our flamboyant brethren the opportunity to squeal and prance on stage. Plus, straight people like to have their stereotyping confirmed.

Easy money.

I used to be a CBS Page and worked the Price is Right. They pick the contestants from about a 10-second interview. They interview everyone in line one by one. What is your name, where are you from? From that, they get a sense that you will go fucking nuts if you make it down.

R1 I don’t know whether to laugh or cringe at that clip. It’s like Dylan in that clip sends us gays back 30 years. Yikes!

r1 As if that Dylan Mulvaney camp act was not staged.

She was casted, not randomly selected.

Frankie Grande loves The Price is Right

I don't know about contestants, but i like the piece of beef that poses with all the prizes. They had him in nothing but a bathing suit to show off a hot tub and the producers know what they're doing to keep the gays and fraus happy

I've had a friend and an acquaintance, both gay, win the showcase.

R9 Contestants are selected while the audience is standing on line to enter the studio. It’s hardly a test, as for Jeopardy. Totally not a random selection process, more a basic casting call.

Because OnlyFans doesn’t pay what it used to.

Now, if only they could all be as hot as Russell Todd. The former 'Another World' soap actor was called to 'come on down' about nine years ago.

Because Drew was molested.

They NEVER used to choose obviously gay contestants during the Bob Barker days. Never, not once.

R8 is on to something. I've know several gay guys who have gone to a taping, though none was selected or "cast." It has to be the sheer ridiculousness of it. Either that or some gay guys just want to stay at home and watch tv.

But now it's all different!

Gay Boy - come on down!

Did you guys know Pluto TV has a channel that plays nothing but 1980s era episodes of Price is Right 24/7? I got sucked in during a sick day.

St. Bob Barker was a nast homophobe. I met Rodd Rodney through a former student (straight) who’d interned on the show and became friends with Rodd. Rodd was a classy, nice man, but my student said Barker constantly abused Rodd and used anti-gay slurs.

It's been an easy thing for gay boys to go to, because before TPIR moved last year to Haven Studios over in Glendale, it had been taped since 1972 at Television City in the Fairfax district, which borders West Hollywood.

Rodd Roddy. Blame it on autocorrect

Because Drew Carey throws down a mean fuck in your anus, just like Bob did if you agreed to have your pet spaded or neutered after the show.

Former? Current? Gay porn star topher DiMaggio was on the nighttime price is right back I. December. He shows up at around 1:30.

R1: When does he lip-sync for his life??

[quote]They NEVER used to choose obviously gay contestants during the Bob Barker days. Never, not once.

Bob Barker was a nasty old man who thought that all gays should be neutered.

[quote] St. Bob Barker was a nast homophobe

Hellcat fighter pilot Bob was of the he-man war hero generation.

I remember as a kid they had a night time special and one Showcase had Eileen Brennan come out and said the first part of the deal was a trip to Universal Studios and you got to go on the set of the now filming movie called "The Sting" starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford, that she was in too. The second part of that showcase was an actual real two seat airplane.

[quote]have your pet spaded

Oh, dear!

R31, the word is spayed. Perhaps you've been spaded, but that doesn't mean your dog has to be!

Here's one reason why...

The guy on right now is definitely family.

They should just give cars away.

Nobody wants a party boat or pair of jet skis.

Is this the game show where people dress(ed) up? My friend’s dad won a very ‘70s, clunky living room set, including a Wurlitzer piano!

No, Dumbshit^

I knew a girl who was on TPIR and made it to the Showcase. But then she died.

R41 No, that's "Let's Make A Deal".

Check out that Pontiac Station Wagon (boat) at 19:25.

That 10,258 would today be $83,464.

And that flight to the French Riviera was on Pan Am FIRST CLASS. That would have been quite special back in 1970. The airline had just had their inaugural 747 flight that year.

"Casted"...oy.

Gays and senior citizens! A winning combination.

Yes I like TPIR pit crew.
