The First Male Price is Right Showcase Model, Come on Down!

Please let him be sassy and gay. Please let him be sassy and gay. Please let him be sassy and gay…

After more than 40 continuous years on the air, “The Price Is Right” is ready for a major change. It’s starting a search for its first ever male showcase model. That’s right, men finally will have a chance to wear tight clothing and display floor waxes, pool tables and Jet Skis alongside women.

The hunt for the show’s first male model will take the form of a competition Web series that will run on PriceisRight.com and the show’s YouTube channel in late September.

Honestly, I haven’t watched the program in at least a decade. Though I imagine it was just as much of a staying home from school sick day staple for all of you as it was for me. My only real emotional investment in this male model search is the hope that we can somehow get a few Twinko Plinko jokes out of this down the line.

So what do you think of this news? Welcome addition? Or is this enough to make Bob Barker roll over in his grave-shaped custom tanning bed? (He’s still alive, you ageist!)
