Price Is Right Announcer Recovering After 3 Heart Attacks

George Gray the studio announcer for The Price Is Right has undergone a quadruple bypass after suffering 3 heart attacks. 

Gray has been announcer for the game show since 2011, using well known catch phrases like "come on down" and "a brand new car".

Ironically, Gray's wife jokingly credits the  Corona Virus for saving his life, as he had planned to be on a trip to Thailand to celebrate their anniversary and would have been on the plane when the first heart attack happened.

Barers Of Maple Valley On National TV

Well, if you blinked you missed it, unless you have DVR, but our episode of The Price Is Right ran today.  You can see us in the left hand corner (me in green, Debra in a Price Is Right tee shirt) as I am dressed even sillier than these silly dressed people.  I was not trying to look like a lepricaun I had on a Sounders jersey and a Sounders hat.  Hoping to sway Drew Carey, who owns the Seattle Soccer team.  It didn't work.

We Visit "The Price Is Right"

We were in the studio audience at a taping of the popular game show, "The Price Is Right".  We did not get to be contestants, however.  This picture was taken in the waiting area where we were asked to look like we had won a car.  We should however be visible in the audience when the show airs on April 10th.  I was wearing a green Seattle Sounders jersey in honor of host Drew Carey, who heads the ownership group that owns the Seattle Soccer club. 
We will post more pictures from our trip to Los Angeles and the Palm Springs area soon. 
If you ever want to be on the show, you can get priority tickets at the web site.  If you come with a group, it will increase your chance of being a contestant. Be sure to bring your enthusiasm.  It is better to plan a full day around being on set.  There is a process that you go through this different than other shows, because the contestants are picked on the fly.  The show is taped at CBS Television City
on the corner of Beverly and Fairfax in Los Angeles.
