The Price Is Right is a CBS game show that we all have seen and loved for years and years. There’s a guy with an old school-looking mic, a super colorful wheel, and people trying to win that what’s behind the door, bus, or whatever obstruction creatively used to hide the prize. If you’ve ever wondered about the cast of The Price Is Right, you should know that the show not only features female models, but also male models!
