The East Coast Price is Right

The East Coast Price is RightThe East Coast Price is Right was a special school edition of the classic Mark Goodson game show The Price is Right. In this show, I was the host, Erin Lichtenstein was the announcer, Meg Rodgers and Andrea Benavitch were the models, and Melissa Steele helped as our stagehand. We performed The East Coast Price is Right on the stage in the auditorium at Stuarts Draft High School at noon on May 20, 1999. The production lasted 90 minutes including breaks to set up the pricing games. So, it filled up the period nicely (it was 90 minutes, too). For The East Coast Price is Right, we tried to emulate the real show as broadcast on CBS as much as possible. We had an authentic-looking set, I used a corded microphone (although the mic was a bit fatter than Bob Barker‘s), we used real Price is Right musical cues, and we played real pricing games (albeit for non-real prizes). We also had contestants’ row, showcase showdowns (the numbers were even in the right sequence on the wheel), and two showcases.  We followed the rules for the games as they existed for Season 27, the then-current season.  And people were talking about it afterwards with nothing but praise!  It was great!

Here, you’ll find a transcript and stills of The East Coast Price is Right, and video clips at the bottom.  Take a look!  You won’t be disappointed.  Anything written in parentheses is describing action taking place in the show that needs description.  Anything in brackets are host’s notes about the show.

Sit Back!  Relax!

Mike: How are you doing?

Ben: I’m fine. Anyway, here’s what we have for you to win now!

"Now, which one of these items do you believe is $1.54?"Ben: Now, which one of these items do you believe is $1.54?

Mike: Bean dip. (Mike also finishes arranging the items based on what he believes their price to be.

Ben: All right. For $1,000, what is in this bag? It is the juice! Now, you can go for $2,000, or you can quit right now and keep your $1,000. What is your pleasure?

Mike: Go on.

"Is the bean dip $2.07?"Ben: All right. Is the bean dip $2.07? Let’s see! It is! Now, think about how much you can buy with $2,000! Would you like to go on for $4,000?

Mike: I’ll stop.

Ben: He will stop! Mike, you have $2,000, but let’s see if you could have won $4,000. Is the Easy Cheese $2.18? No, it is not! The gelatine was right, and the Oven Classics was right. But you do have $2,000. (Main theme starts) And we’ll have more Price is Right after this announcement!

What you have to do is roll each one of these dice. If you roll the right digit, then we will reveal the number for you.

So we gave it to him anyway.] For the second number, you said higher, and you were right! Four! And he said that the third number was higher… was he right? Yes, he was! And the last number… he said higher… was he right? Yes!

(Marcus starts jumping up and down and hugs Ben)

"A new van!"Ben: And to see if you will win this, we will be playing “One Away”! $37,581 is not the correct price of that van. The correct numbers are either one higher or one lower than the number shown. So, my question to you is, do you believe that this three should be a two or a four?

Cameron: Two.

Ben: And do you believe that this seven should change to a six or an eight?

Cameron: Eight.

Ben: Should this five be a four or a six?

"And, Cameron, do you believe that this one should be a two or a zero?"Cameron: Six.

Ben: And should this be a seven or a nine?

Cameron: Seven.

Ben: And, Cameron, do you believe that this one should be a two or a zero?

Cameron: Zero.

Ben: You have determined that the price of that car is $28,670. If you have at least one number right in the actual price of that car, the game continues. Ask them, “Ladies, do I have at least one number right?”

"Ladies, do I have at least one number right?"Cameron: Ladies, do I have at least one number right? (Windows “Ta-da” sound)

Ben: You do! Now ask them, “Ladies, do I have at least two numbers right?”

Cameron: Do I have at least two numbers right?

Ben: “LADIES, do I have at least two numbers right?”

Cameron: Ladies, do I have at least two numbers right?

Erin: Why, yes, you do! (Ta-da)

Ben: Now ask them, “Ladies, do I have at least three numbers right?”

Cameron: Ladies, do I have at least three numbers right?

"Ladies, do I have at least three numbers right?"Erin: Ah, yes! (Ta-da)

Ben: Now, ask them, “Ladies, do I have at least four numbers right?”

Cameron: Ladies, do I have at least four numbers right?

(No response)

Ben: You have two numbers wrong. Which ones do you want to change?

Cameron: The second one and the fourth one.

Ben: That gives you a price of $26,690. And now, the moment of truth! The actual retail price of this minivan is… $26,690! You win! (Losing horns play) She won!

"And we will have our second showcase showdown after this announcement!"Erin: Sorry. (Ta-da sound)

(Main theme music begins)

Ben: And we will have our second showcase showdown after this announcement!


Erin: Contestants not appearing on stage will receive Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies. Contains twelve individually wrapped packages. Now, here’s Ben Schumin with our showcase showdown!

Ben: Let’s spin that wheel! (Doug spins the wheel) The contestant nearest to $1.00 without going over will be in our showcase! And Doug has 95 cents! "You don't want to spin again, do you?"You don’t want to spin again, do you?

Doug: No.

Ben: All right. Just come right over here, then. Laurel, spin the wheel! (Laurel spins the wheel, and then immediately spins it again) 90 cents plus 80 cents… you’re over! (It is then brought to my attention that Laurel’s first spin never made it all the way around, so we bring her back up to spin again. We set the wheel back to where it landed on Doug’s spin, which was 95 cents, and she spins again) Laurel has spun 95 cents!

"Laurel has spun 95 cents!"Laurel: I’ll stay.

Ben: Now we will have a spin-off between these two unless you beat them both by getting a dollar. Cameron, spin that wheel. (Cameron spins the wheel) 45 cents… spin it again. (Cameron spins again) Cameron needs 55 cents, but she doesn’t have enough. Cameron, thank you for being on our show.

(Laurel and Doug return to the other side of wheel)

"You have to beat 50 cents... and Laurel has 60 cents!".Ben: You each will get exactly one spin on the wheel (losing horns sound for some odd reason) to see who will be in the showcase. If you get a dollar in this spin, you will still get $1,000 and a bonus spin. And, Doug, spin that wheel. (Doug spins the wheel) Doug has 50 cents! Back you go! Now, Laurel, you have one spin. You have to beat 50 cents… and Laurel has 60 cents! Doug, thank you for being on our show. Laurel, you will be in our showcase, immediately following this announcement!

Laurel: $25,900.

Ben: Laurel bids $25,900. And we will see which one of these two has bid better after this announcement!


Ben: Now it’s time to see whether it is Laurel who will win or whether it is Brian! Brian, you bid $9,500 on your showcase. The actual retail price of your showcase is… $10,013, a difference of… $513.
