CBS Announces THE PRICE IS RIGHT Nationwide Contestant Search

THE PRICE IS RIGHT is kicking off its fourth annual casting call for contestants to appear during the 41st season of the game show. Once again, contestant searches will take place in and around cities across the United States, beginning Thursday, August 9. Representatives from each participating local CBS owned and affiliated station will be on hand to interview and videotape contestant hopefuls vying for free trips to Los Angeles and guaranteed spots in the studio audience. Two participants will be selected from each market to fly to Los Angeles and attend a taping of the legendary game show, starting fall 2012. A bidder's spot on Contestants' Row is guaranteed to one of the two participants, who will learn if they are selected to "come on down" when they hear their name called during the show's taping.

The first round of markets confirmed to host searches includes New York, Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Additional markets will be announced in the coming weeks.
