The Filming of "Come On Down"

Production on "Come On Down!" began in the fall of 2004 in Los Angeles. Our first interviewee was Ted Ott- the nighttime desk clerk at the Farmer's Daughter Hotel across the street from the CBS Studios where The Price is Right has been taped for 35 years. Because of the large number of guests at the hotel that have attended The Price Is Right through the years, Ted began a nightly "Price-Is-Right-Clinic" geared towards prepping his guests for their TPIR experience and adding to the excitement of the occasion.









































Later that winter filming resumed in Maine at the home of Real Barker, who has been staging a family Price-Is-Right tournament every Christmas Eve for the last 25 years as a device to keep the family together for the whole night on Christmas Eve. This has become a revered family tradition for the proud grandparents, their children, and their grandchildren, and has also been a lifelong dream for Real who had yet to actually go to The Price Is Right.




















































In early 2005 Real Barker got his chance, as the family made the pilgrimage to LA to try their luck on TPIR.

























Since 2005, we have been traveling the U.S. and interviewing past contestants of "The Price Is Right" -- from San Francisco to Boston, Las Vegas, Nashville, Chicago, Atlanta, Kansas City, New York, and many places in between to hear each unique rendition of the oft-retold 'Price Is Right-story.'
