Do said meeting Bob Barker, the host and executive producer who has won 11 Daytime Emmy awards, was a scary experience. Do said Barker’s stage makeup was caked on his face, and during com mercial breaks, Barker went back stage for touch-ups three times. Do also said models Janice Pen nington, Kathleen Bradley and Nikki Ziering, who are now in their late 40s, were wearing cheap dresses and too much makeup. “It looked like wax coming to life,” Do said. Do said that in person, announc er Rod Roddy is short, stocky and wears bright, funky suit coats. Roddy is the one who invites the contestants to “come on down.” After bidding on some prizes and missing twice, Do used the technique of bidding $1 over the highest price for a Capresso Coffee and Espresso Maker. The audience booed him, but Do’s guess was the closest to the actual retail price without going over, and from there the prizes rolled in. Do played a true/false game and won an iron, a digital scale, a wa ter purifier and a month’s supply of eggs, although he said he does Minh Do will be on the Price is Right on Thurs day. These are the prizes Do won and their retail values: Capresso Coffee and Espresso Maker — $899 Eggland’s Best Eggs — $40 Health-O-Meter Digital scale — $70 Proctor Si lex I ron — $20 Pur PlusWater Purifier—$50 2000 Mercury Sable — $22,305 International cultured pearl neck lace—$2,640 A coach trip for two-on Malaysia Air lines— $2,000 Six nights at the Marriott Hotel in Malaysia — $655.05 2001 Dodge Stratus $50 — $23,020 n’t really like eggs. Later in the show, Do spun the wheel last, because he had won the most prizes, and was one of two contestants in the Showcase Showdown. Do said he recommends that contestants bid the highest amount possible on prizes. “The prizes look cheap, but they are really expensive,” he said. Do celebrated his birthday after the show with his sisters at The Cheesecake Factory in Redondo, CA. Do plans to use his winnings to take his older sister Kim, a senior journalism major, on a trip for six nights to Malaysia this summer. Do also said he will sell the two American-made cars he won, a 2000 Mercury Sable and a 2001 Dodge Stratus, and possibly invest in a convertible Volkswagen Bug. Do said he would have to pay the taxes and license fees on the cars, along with income tax on the rest of the prizes. “All they give away is American cars,” Do said. He presently owns a Honda Accord, which he is also planning to sell. While other game shows like “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” reap the benefits of sudden popu larity, “The Price is Right” is the longest-running game show in tel evision history. Now in its 29th season, it remains America’s high est-rated daytime game show — especially among college students. “It’s a classic television show, because Bob Barker is just your typical game show host,” said Kristin Snyder, a fan of the show and a sophomore sports marketing major. “New game show hosts are always trying to imitate Bob Bark er.” Snyder said she enjoys the show because the contestants get so excited and because it differs from Wheel of Fortune and Jeop ardy because of the variety of clas sic games like Plinko and Hole in One. / f Calendar Wednesday, Oct. 25 Center for the Study of Women in Soci ety: Uli Mueller, Sociology graduate student, discusses "Women, National Identity and Political Activism in Ger many.” Noon-1 p.m. 330 Hendricks Hall.
