Price is Right mishap

Announcer George Grey demonstrates how not to run backwards on a treadmill. 

If he hadn't reached for that paper, he'd have been fine....Although, he didn't miss a beat, grabbed that paper and kept going.

I wondered why he didn't just face forward in the regular walking position and have the copy taped to the dashboard. 

Could be he was showing off, or Drew dared him.....you can see Drew busting a gut and turning away.....

Yeah, I loved that.  And the one model looked very concerned while the other one went on smilingly displaying the prize. I liked George's "Aspirin not included."

Yeah, and the contestant was worried sick! The look on her face, doubt she heard the description of each of the items.....

But she won, so no harm... unless you count George's back.

More like his pride.....

That HAD to be embarrassing.

OH! Don't you KNOW it!!!!

And, oh, will he be bruised and sore tomorrow!

No doubt!

Do you remember George when he hosted the syndicated version of "Weakest Link"? He was so wittily sarcastic in that, so it was a bit jarring to see him being all sunny and "Hi, everybody!" on Price. His talents are being wasted.

I didn't watch that show much, but recall the female host.....rotten through and through...

Anne Robinson. George played it the same way, but he was very quick-witted and funny.

Oh I DO remember him! I would have never recognized him though, but as soon as you said that, I could picture him! Yes, he was funny and witty on Weakest Link!

This is so funny....it was 'trending' yesterday, so what's hilarious is how much free advertising time the motorcycle, range and treadmill companies all got from this!

Not sure it's the best advertisement for the treadmill.  "Ain't that the contraption that TV feller almost got himself killed on?" 

Here's George on Weakest Link.  And I thought his last name was Grey, but it's Gray.  How embarrassing for Fife. 

You know, they tape these shows ahead of time, by about 3-4 weeks ahead of time, so they could have edited that out. I guess after viewing it, they knew how funny it was and that it would go viral when it aired......and it did! Jimmy Fallon even showed it on The Tonight Show last night....

Someone who's been to several TPIR tapings said that they generally only edit out technical glitches, like mechanical problems with the games.
