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 80^th 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 80^th 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.

Recent News

In 2009-2010, we embarked upon a complete re-edit of "Come On Down!" We recognized the importance of creating a tightly-edited, refreshing and positive film that focused on the charming cast of characters that we met and the shared cultural experience that they had.

The stories we have woven together share these devotees personal HISTORIES with the game show, their JOURNEY West to get to the show, THE MOMENT that they became one of the chosen few called to “come on down,” and their unique TAKEAWAY from the experience.

“The Price Is Right” holds a special place in the hearts of four generations of Americans- regardless of age, race, class, or gender. For many people, affection for the show stems from childhood or a family memory. For others, the possibility of a televised “15 minutes of fame” or valuable prizes is the attraction. But for the lucky few who hear their name before the iconic phrase, “come on down,” the priceless “Price-Is-Right-story” becomes the most cherished reward. The story becomes part of their identity as they re-tell it over and over again and re-live the experience throughout their lives.

As we continue to shape the final cut of the film, we hope that you will stay tuned and continue to support "Come On Down!" We are looking forward to a screening party near you!
