A potato farmer from Carberry was front row for a recent episode of The Price Is Right.
The episode aired March 1st and viewers could see Gregg Reynolds wearing his custom t-shirt that read “I dig Manitoba Potatoes.”
“You don’t get to pick where you sit. They just usher you down, and you sit where they tell you to. We just got lucky.”
Reynolds says it’s a lot different being on set then what you see on TV.
“It’s a lot smaller in there then it looks on TV. There’s not that many people there. It’s really loud; you can’t really hear anything that’s going on. You can’t hear Drew, or the bidding, or anything like that. and other than that it’s really cold in there too!”
Reynolds knew he was going to a taping before he left Carberry, for vacation in the States. They were going to visit his girlfriend’s family in Las Vegas. So he got a custom shirt made at home before leaving.
Reynolds was one seat away from going up to Bidder’s Row. The lady sitting beside him was lucky enough to be called.
Their family and friends in Carberry gathered on March 1st to watch the episode and Reynolds says everyone was excited.
The taping was on January 7th.
