Woz Knows When the Price is Right
Posted by Adam Frucci at 2:47 AM on July 17, 2008
Apparently, Woz is a Price is Right fan. Unfortunately, he was just sitting in the front row and was never called down to play Plinko or spin the big wheel, because I bet that he really knows the prices of household products and could use a new Lincoln Towncar or whatever it was they gave away that episode. Oh, Woz. Hit the jump for another screenshot of Woz enjoying himself some game show goodness, then let's hear your best captions in the comments section. Thanks, Brett!

ok to correct you betting $1 less than any bid is the worst bid ever you must exactly get the price then, what you meant was betting $1 over another bid, because it makes it so the person below you must get it exactly or they cant win. best I ever saw was everyone bet $1 over each other, almost garunteed win for the last bidder.

The Woz is living his life, it's nice that big name people are just doing thing's like everyday people, seeing europe, catching fish, and getting on price is right.

I was a page on that show for over a year.
Woz's seats are special guests seats and they are not eligible to be called up. He would have been escorted in by a page about 5 minutes before warm ups.
They pick anywhere from 10-20 people during the pre-interviews that take place outside before you go in. Then they widdle that list down to 9 (I think that's the total) and those people get called down.
Being happy is and energetic is a part of it. It's mainly people who they think will play well on TV. They also want a cross section of america. Ages and colors.

Actually , betting $1 less than the lowest bid or just betting $1 is one of the best known tricks to get on stage I'll have you know.
Plus, the new barker girls are pretty decent, a little too plasticy for me though.

you actually can't be called up from where he is. the first two rows are for people given tickets by execs at the studio. you're guaranteed a seat and you're guaranteed to be on tv (by virtue of where you're seated), but you're also guaranteed not to win anything.
