“It was a time in my life that was so special I will never ever forget it. I shouldn’t say that to my two sons, but I was never that excited in my life as when I was on that show.”


The Film

“Come On Down!” is a film about game show culture, the American dream, and the once-in-a-lifetime experience of hearing the words, “Come on down!”

"There is more than one way to do electro-pop, but there is only one way to do it right. Los Angeles (via Boston) group Chop Chop fall into both the former and latter, mixing up its approaches to the genre but virtually nailing it, track after track"
-Euguene Weekly

"Cavanagh does things with her voice that will make grown men weak in the knees, singing about the minutiae of memory and thought, stark and naked in her honesty but wry and witty nonetheless...“Screens” over its duration manages to be serious and playful, challenging and engaging, and it’s a very exciting record that showcases a genuinely original talent."
-American UK

"Chop Chop is a truly inspired affair, raw in its approach and pure in its intent, a must-have for any fan of indie music with a distinct personality."
-Regen Magazine

Stars for A Day ~ Carolyn & Lolly


My name’s Carolyn Campbell, I’m from Overland Park, KS and this is my Grandma Lolly Campbell.



And this is my lovely nametag. My Grandmother went this past October for her 80th birthday~ she’s watched it for her whole life. My Aunt & Uncle took her. And they also got a signed picture of Bob Barker, ‘To Lolly- Happy 80th Birthday, Bob Barker.’ So that was a good trip.



After I won when I was there I was like, ‘I gotta call my Grandma,’ so I get back to the hotel and get my cell phone and I’m like, ‘Grandma! Are you sitting down- yes- I was on The Price Is Right today,’ she was like, ‘oh Carolyn,’ ‘And they called me to Contestant’s Row,’ ‘Oh Carolyn!,’ ‘And I got up on stage,’ ‘oh Carolyn,’ ‘and I won $7600 worth of stuff,’ ‘oh Carolyn that’s wonderful!



I like to guess the prices, I’m very price-conscious in everything I do, and everything I buy, it has to be on special sale, or clearance rack or something. And now my husband sits and watches it with me, and we try to outdo each other, you know, who’s going to be the winner today?



I know this guy through another friend who I think two years ago he made a Plinko costume- the game Plinko as a costume. He always likes to do really interesting and odd costumes and they have to be really time consuming to make cuz Halloween I think is his favorite holiday. So he made this Plinko costume that’s just this big board and you put the things in and it has these little sticks and pokes down and then the whole night at Halloween people got to play Plinko on my friend Jay.

A Star For A Day ~ Ben & Melissa


I was at a coffee shop with a friend and instead of doing anything really productive I looked up information about going on The Price Is Right. And Ben’s always wanted to go and has tried to go multiple times with a bunch of friends and it never worked out so he came to meet us there and so for his Xmas present I told him that um, that I was gonna take him on The Price Is Right.



These are the shirts that we wore and we got them made and we are students at the University of Texas, the Longhorns, so we took these shirts and we made- it says uh ‘Bob Barker #1.’



He comes to me and he’s like, ‘Well Benjamin, tell me a little bit about yourself,’ and I was like, ‘My name’s Benjamin Howell, I watched this show my entire life with my grandfather, I love this show so much, it’s so exciting, I guarantee if I get called down you will not be disappointed because I will be so excited, I will be so enthusiastic, you will not be disappointed at all,’ And he was like, ‘oh, well thank you very much, Benjamin.’



So I’m sittin there and I’m thinkin’ to myself, ‘ok, I’m the very first person called down there’s still five games left.’ I’ve always wanted my whole life to go up and say, $1 Bob. I’ve always had a dream of going up and bidding $1. That’s just kind of The Price Is Right tradition.


My love for The Price Is Right kind of goes way back as far as I can remember- it’s been kind of a family thing with my Mom’s parents especially. They were big time game show watchers and their favorite one was The Price Is Right. And I can remember, you know you know, being three or four and going and spending the night over there and you know, we’d wake up and watch The Price Is Right- and maybe sometimes my mom would come and pick us up in the middle of the show, but we definitely couldn’t leave until it was over, we had to watch and see who was gonna win, what was gonna happen in the end, so it was a big deal for my grandparents and it was a really special time that we were able to have as a family and time I got to spend with them and that was a real special time for us, and that continues even to this day.
