Comedian Pranks Price Is Right

By: Sara

As a kid I would have loved the chance to be on "The Price Is Right". Bob Barker and the skinny mic! Plinko! Showcase Showdown! It all sounds like heaven to me. But ever since Mr. Barker retired, things just haven't been the same. I can't warm up to Drew Carey. There is some intangible bit of magic that he does not possess as a host. If I had to come face to face with Drew Carey, I guess it might be more fun if his face was melting. That is how a young comedian named Josh Androsky handled things. Androsky decided to get liquored up AND high on mushrooms before auditioning to be on "The Price Is Right". Josh's name ended up being called and he got to "come on down!" and share the love. Here is the result.

Josh's permagrin should have given him away, but I guess most contestants on the show are a little bit nuts. The betting one dollar strategy did get Androsky on stage and led to my favorite moment (it happens at 3:30). When Drew Carey asks Josh what he does for a living, his answer is... "skateboard rabbi." To Josh's shrooming brain, I am sure it made all the sense in the world.
