    Drew was doing the most of the work (as a model) on his own show. Love this April Fools episode!

    It's nice that the models, Gwendolyn, Manuela, Amber and Rob got to take turns hosting the show and also take turns announcing.

    One of my favorite TPIR episodes of all time - I even taped it - hands down - the models giving Drew and George a taste of their own medicine! The other one is another April Fools Day episode - from 2009 this time!

    I loved it. I thought they all did a great job. Drew and George were such good sports about modeling, they were a hoot! Rob is very talented, although he seemed nervous, but I think he's got a lot of potential as a future host.

    Rob was on the show, I believe, since last October after he won a contest (through the show) that was looking for a male model. I didn't vote, but I kinda like that he was chosen.

    36:39 I don't blame Gwendolyn for how she looked reading Tiffany's showcase price. Drew would have had a much more agitating tone. However I too was really hoping for no double overbid on this episode also--they almost had a double overbid. Another $750 and there would have been! Over by $633 on the runner-up's part, ouch. I am glad her opponent didn't throw in an extra $750!

  • @scottwilson3741

  • @tinamarie86
    @tinamarie86 11 років тому +8

    I think that this and the 2011 episode tied as the best April Fool's episode. I honestly thought that the 2011 episode could never be topped, but this episode definitely came close (I honestly liked them both equally).

  • @christopheralthouse6378
    @christopheralthouse6378 9 років тому +34

    I think Rob Wilson should take on hosting duties FOR REAL! He seemed like such a natural on this episode... That sort of 'knack' that is reminiscent of Bob Barker himself... Rob Wilson for next host! :D

    • @Videokid703

  • @scottmeckley2041
    @scottmeckley2041 6 років тому +8

    Amber to me was the most amazing announcer, and did pretty good as host too. Rob did a good job as host too. I think they should do this again for a week, and I'd like to see Rachel on it hosting one segment.

    • @Liggie55821
      @Liggie55821 3 роки тому

      No surprise Amber performed well here. She was a cast member in the scripted MTV series "The Hard Times of RJ Berger", which ran a couple of years before this episode, so emcee and announcing duties are right in her wheelhouse.

    Somehow George Gray went from hosting The Weakest Link to being a Man Model...wow

  • @DorvellTStewart
    @DorvellTStewart 11 років тому +11

    The fact that Bob wouldn't have so much as allowed the models to be heard speaking during the show, let alone host it as an April Fools Day joke during his tenure makes it all the more enjoyable to watch with Drew. It's nice to see ''Price'' trying new things, as it keeps the show fresh and interesting.

    @bluebear1985 11 років тому +4

    That would be interesting. I wonder how he would handle hosting a show like this. The last thing I'm aware of that he hosted, and I could be wrong, was "Weakest Link". He did pretty good at that.

  • @scoobydoo11111

      As much as I love Bob, I can't ever imagine a scenario where he'd have agreed to that. Methinks Bob was too old school for that.

    • @GeekGameCulture
      @GeekGameCulture 7 років тому +1

      Ehh, not sure about that show. If I had my way, I would think more along the lines of a certain game show that was my favorite back in the day. A certain show that was also filmed at the Bob Barker Studio...that could also be a CBS revival...that had a certain red guy that made you say none of them...
      Oh, the hell with it, I am hoping they would revive Press Your Luck already. Maybe Amber could fill a role like THAT!

    • @blind_t2
      @blind_t2 7 років тому +1

      JD Shadow true! i'd like to see her pull a show liike that! Amber's great!

    • @blind_t2
      @blind_t2 7 років тому

      ***** i like the way you think! However, we gotta give a certain someone the slip before we can get this idea up and running. He'll screw that plan up if he directs.

    • @blind_t2
      @blind_t2 7 років тому

      ***** i do agree though, Amber should put her foot in the door of a mostly male-dominated career, because it's been done, there have been plenty of female counterparts to do a good show. Betty White, Brooke Burns, Summer Sanders to name a few.

    When Drew first took over the show from Bob Barker, the show seemed so different and I wasn't sure if I liked the change. But Drew has made it his show with his unique personality. And having come from a comedy background, I think the show is more fun. I can't imagine an episode where the models would rule when Bob was the host, but this episode was so much fun, and I think everyone had a great time! Bob was a wonderful host, but Drew has added more fun and whimsey. And it's about time they added male models to the show.

  • @TheBundychick82
    @TheBundychick82 10 років тому +18

    This was one of the best episodes I loved it when Amber,Gwendoline ,Manula and Rob took over and Trust me when drew finish hosting Rob should take over and Amber do the Announcing she good at it and hosting too why don't drew have a couple of weeks of let the models host and let George model he was better at that then Announing he alright at it but I think he should be In the models shoes for a few weeks if that was allowed I would love all of them uploaded I'm from Australia and thank u!!!!

  • @laurengottfried8600

    There isn't always a 58, but did you know the top middle number is usually the current season number? Last season was the Season 41, so the top middle number was 41 most of the time. The previous year, the top middle number was 40 most of the time. Sometimes this number is right.

      I honestly think she should’ve been the host of the new revival of The Joker’s Wild. However, if she does get back into game shows, here’s some good shows she can do as host if they revive them.
      Classic Concentration
      Tic Tac Dough
      High Rollers
      Child’s Play
      Blockbusters

    @tinamarie86 11 років тому +8

    Technically, if we were talking about number of years on the show, I believe of the current models, Rachel was on the longest followed by Gwendolyn. Although I have a pretty strong feeling that you possibly could be talking about age here in that case, you would be correct about Gwendolyn being the "senior model"

    Amber makes a nice announcer. Very natural speaker, I think.

      I liked Amber's announcing and Gwendoln sorry can't spell her names hosting, and having Drew and George play as the models was hilarious.

    Also, Drew is used to being in embarrasing situations from his time on Whose Line. Barker was too "dignified" (i.e., snobbish) to do that.
