ARE YOU A LITTLE NERVOUS?
>> A LITTLE NERVOUS, YEAH.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE GOING TO BE GREAT.
HAVE A SEAT.
$1, BOB!
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP UP-- DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP UP
ON THE PRICE OF ORDINARY THINGS IN YOUR LIFE BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL
BUTTONHOLE YOU ON THE STREET, "WHAT'S A PAINT OF MILK."
>> NO, PEOPLE DON'T ASK ME.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING GOING OUT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT GAMES ARE PLAYING.
THEY GIVE ME A LIST THAT THEY PUT ON MY DESK IN MY DRESSING
ROOM BUT I NEVER LOOK AT IT.
THEY POINT ME TO A SPOT, AND I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY PLAYING
THIS ONE GAME.
AND IT SPINS AROUND AND THEY'RE PLAYING IT AND IT IS SO EASY.
>> Stephen: YOU ENJOY IT LIKE WE ARE AT HOME.
>> I GET TO WORK A HALF HOUR BEFORE I GO OUT ON STAGE.
>> Stephen: I MEAN THIS IN ALL FRIENDSHIP ( BLEEP ) YOU.
>> I KNOW, I KNOW.
I HATE TO TELL PEOPLE--
>> Stephen: 14 YEARS, WHAT DID YOU THINK?
WHEN YOU GOT INTO THIS GIG, WHAT DID YOU THINK IT WAS GOING TO
BE?
>> AAH...
>> Stephen: HOW DID IT TURN OUT?
WHAT SURPRISED YOU?
WHAT ABOUT THAT?
>> IT'S SUCH A JOYOUS HAPPY PLACE.
EVERYBODY THERE IS ROOTING FOR A STRANGER TO DO WELL, WHICH YOU
DON'T SEE ANYWHERE.
THEY'RE ALWAYS LIKE, "I HOPE THAT PERSON LOSES," OR "KICK
THAT PERSON OFF THE ISLAND," YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IT'S ALWAYS STUFF LIKE THAT.
ON "THE PRICE IS RIGHT," IT'S, "YEAH, SCREW CBS!
TAKE ALL THEIR MONEY."
YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF FUN.
>> Stephen: YOUR GUESTS ARE SO-- THEY'RE SO EXCITED.
HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THEIR ENTHUSIASM FOR HAVING--
( LAUGHTER ).
>> THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR LEAVING MY PHONE IN THE DRESSING ROOM.
>> Stephen: AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT-- WHAT-- WHAT IS HAPPENING?
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT BOWLED OVER BY A HUMAN BOWLING BALL.
>> A GORILLA CAME OVER AND JUST BLEW ME.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
>> Stephen: GOOD.
BLEW YOU DOWN, YOU MEAN.
BLEW YOU DOWN.
>> YEAH ( LAUGHING ).
>> Stephen: NOW, THIS IS-- THIS IS A CRAZY BIT OF BUSINESS
THEY JUST FOUND OUT.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: CBS, MAN, CBS.
>> YEAH, WHATEVER.
>> Stephen: I ONLY KIND OF WORK HERE, IS WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING.
>> IT'S SUCH A THRILL TO COME ON A SHOW WHERE I CAN SWEAR AND DO
DIRTY JOKES, BECAUSE I CAN'T SWEAR ON "THE PRICE IS RIGHT."
>> Stephen: NOT EVEN HAVE IT BLEEPED.
>> YOU WON A ( BLEEP ) CAR!
I CAN'T DO THAT.
>> Stephen: THEY'D BE SO HAPPY, THOUGH.
>> HOLY ( BLEEP )!
SEE WHAT HAPPENS?
I CAN'T DO THAT.
>> Stephen: I HEARD-- AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS IS TRUE OR
HOW YOU WOULD KNOW, BUT THAT PAUL McCARTNEY IS A FAN.
>> YES.
I'M FRIENDS WITH THIS GUY NAMED CHRIS HOLMES-- HI, CHRIS.
BEFORE COVID HE WAS PAUL McCARTNEY'S D.J.
>> Stephen: PAUL McCARTNEY HAS A D.J.
>> TO OPEN HIS SHOWS GLI THOUGHT FOR WEDDINGS.
>> WHEN THEY'RE HAVING A PARTY HE DOES THAT, TOO.
HE TRAVELS WITH PAUL McCARTNEY AND PLAYS BEATLE REMIXES AND
COVERS AND DOES A REALLY NICE SET FOR AN HOUR BEFORE THE SHOW
STARTS.
HE GETS EVERYBODY IN THE BEATLES MOOD.
I WENT TO SEE HIM IN TORONTO.
AND HE SAID, "I THINK I CAN GET PAUL COME AND DO A
MEET-AND-GREET WITH YOU, GET A PICTURE."
I SAID, "THAT WOULD BE GREAT."
I'M WAITING TO GET A PICTURE TAKEN AND PAUL McCARTNEY WALKS
OUT AND SAYS, "HI, DREW."
AND I THOUGHT, CHRIS TOLD HIM WHO I WAS.
THAT'S HOW PAUL McCARTNEY KNOWS I'M HERE.
HE SAILED, "I LOVE 'PRICE IS RIGHT'.
I WATCH TRASH TV ALL THE TIME."
AND HE GOES, IS IT AS FUN AS IT SEEMS?
AND HE'S ASKING ME QUESTIONS LIKE THAT.
AND I WAS LIKE THIS IS CRAZY.
SO THEN I'M, LIKE, BOUNCING ABOUT THAT.
LIKE I CAN'T EVEN GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD.
THEN I'M WATCHING WITH AMY, AND WE'RE IN THE FLOOR SEATS,
WATCHING THE SHOW, AND WE HAD PRETTY GOOD SEATS ON THE FLOOR,
WATCHING THE SHOW.
AND WE WERE UP DANCING IN THE FOLDING CHAIRS AND THEY'RE DOING
"BACK IN THE U.S.S.R.."
AND THE END KMEDS WITH THE ♪ OHH, OHH."
AND HE LOOKS AT ME AND GOES, "COME ON DOWN TO THE 'PRICE IS
RIGHT '" ♪ OOO♪
>> Stephen: THAT'S NOT BAD.
AND THAT'S HOW YOU GOT THERE.
"THE PRICE IS RIGHT" IS HOW YOU GOT ON PAUL McCARTNEY'S RADAR.
>> I TEARED UP.
>> Stephen: I'M A LITTLE TEARED UP MANAGER ABOUT IT.
>> IT WAS INSANE.
I GOT CHRIS TO COME WITH ME.
WE WERE ON "FAMILY FEUD."
AND HE ALSO WATCHES "FAMILY FEUD."
HE SPENT A WHOLE TIME ON OUR "FAMILY FEUD INTRODUCTION SAYING
HI TO PAUL MA McCARTNEY.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK, BUT WHEN WE COME
BACK, WE'LL TALK ABOUT DREW'S TIME IN THE MARINES.
