All I will say is just because you may positively influence changes behind the camera doesn’t mean you should be in front of the camera.

Todays TPIR is a positive evolution from its origin and is totally Drew’s show.

He's now the spokesman for the Moving Families Foundation and its Moving Families Initiative.

Not gonna lie, Mike Richards would have made a decent Price host. I know he said "Alright" a lot in this audition tape, but the guy was nervous and did his best in spite of his nerves. He played it down the middle like any decent show host would, but Drew Carey was just a bit better than him and managed to host a short-lived quiz show called Power of 10 just before getting the gig fifteen years ago. Poor Mike just couldn't get over it good and well enough in all these years and those texts resurfacing of him being not so public in the public eye cost him.

@milesmorris9333 2 жыл бұрын

Well, I'm sure other candidates who auditioned were nervous themselves. The difference between them and Mike was that Mike lacked major on-camera hosting experience outside of his college talk show. He couldn't get the beats down all that well and he lacked-besides charisma, a natural quality in game show hosts-enthusiasm in areas where it was badly needed (watch the It's in the Bag win again).

No offense to Mike, but he did not know how to be the star of the Price Is Right. He rushed through that It's In The Bag win all the way to the point, where there was no drama. If it was still Trina winning and Bob Barker hosting, Bob would have slowed down to build the drama with that win. Mike had told the audience to quiet down for the Clock Game, then three seconds later, he was telling them to wish the lady good luck. Also: "You are going to the showcase showdown." Mike, she already won the showcase showdown and she was going to the showcase, later on at the end of the show. Bob Barker always seemed to have natural talent at being the star of the show even without any Price Is Right experience, let alone thirty-five years. Mike Richards should just stick with producing game shows because being the star of a game show just isn't his strength.

Do the contestants keep the prizes for these "episodes?"

@davidlivingston2754 2 жыл бұрын

No. I believe they were awarded $100 if they made it on stage

@SapinskiMath 2 жыл бұрын

Roger Dobkowitz said in past interviews that no these prizes we're not awarded. They got $100 if they got on stage and a larger award for winning their game, showcase, etc. So similar to the touring stage show, they were still playing for something, just not the big enchilada.

@@SapinskiMath That makes enough sense. This show was never intended to air, and is designed to simulate the actual show in order to test out a potential new host. The contestants are essentially performers helping out with the production.

@@SchuminWeb well, they weren't winning the advertised prizes, yeah. But it wasn't like a pilot with a scripted set of players and outcomes. They were still playing for something, so they still had to take it seriously.

Trying to put bias aside, it wasn’t horrible but he wasn’t great. Someone else nailed it when they said It’s like he knows what to do but doesn’t execute well. It felt forced and just not like a natural fit.

@milesmorris9333 2 жыл бұрын

From the recent news about him, we can conclude he's a horrible person. That's not the reason why I thought this audition was bad, however. Roger Dobkowitz gave the perfect description of his performance, basically a college student doing his best impression of a game show host. He knows what he's doing but he's not doing it well. I could tell just from the way he entered on stage that this wasn't going to be very good.

@chuckmarmo6244 2 жыл бұрын

Being a successful game show host requires that most ineffable quality: charisma. It’s something you either have or you don’t. No matter how much “Toastmasters”-style training a guy like Richards likely availed himself of, it can’t be learned or acquired. The good hosts naturally had it and honed it, but Richards honestly and unbiasedly lacks it.

He lacks the stage presence to carry the show and it feels limp and empty as a result. I don't want to use the word "robotic" but look at the way he breezes through the win on It's In The Bag in this tape. There's no life to it at all.

I'm glad Richards didn't get the TPIR hosting gig and, like they say, what goes around comes around. Seems like he was a bit of an a-hole and threw people under the bus to get ahead. It caught up to him and now his TV days are in the rear view mirror.
