Since October, Drew Carey has done his best filling the shoes of Bob Barker as host of the longest-running gameshow in daytime history, The Price is Right. Six months later, he is still attempting to find his nitche. I do watch a few times a week. Today was one of those days.
The showcase was one of the most memorable ever. The first showcase had as the top prize a trip to Singapore which was passed on to contestant number two. The second showcase was a masterful stroke of foolishness.
The first prize was something known as a statointellicator. It appeared to be a prop box full of multicolored switches and doodads which also was useful as a jello mold.
Prize number two was a transrebounder. I have no idea what that device was even supposed to be used for but it looked ridiculous.
Finally, the piece de resistance was a trip to the country of Baguslovania. The contestant would be flown via OSD whose tagline is : The airline that gets you there…. although it may not be the cleanest. While in Baguslovania, the lucky winner would dine on hasty tripe tarts and take in breathtaking vistas such as short site tower and no where palace. I wonder if Baguslovania is anywhere near Liswathistan.
After the showcase was presented, Drew let everyone in on the joke by announcing that the show would be aired on April 1st and unveiled the real prize.
I attempted to find the clip to post but only was able to find the climax of the game. But little touches like this make for entertaining moments on any show.

Give them time… Betcha it will be on youtube in a matter of days. I didn’t realize there were other fake prizes – wish I had seen that. Dis keeps me too busy to really watch any tv very closely. I am confident it will be up there soon in its entirety.
I’ll have to search usenet to see if anyone posts that. 😀
