RuPaul comes to ‘shimmy and shake’ in ‘Price Is Right’, fans want him as the new host
‘Price Is Right at Night’ dropped a huge surprise for its fans in Monday night’s episode. Popular for ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,’ Emmy Award-winning drag queen, actor and singer RuPaul came to the show to play for charity and donated all his winnings to Planned Parenthood.
This is not the first time celebrities made an appearance on the show. The cast of 'SEAL Team' and Seth Rogan were part of the show along with host Drew Carey earlier. Shedding light on the format of the show, the host told CBS Local, “It’s the same show. I’m not wearing a tux and the games are the same.”
He added, “The prizes are just all pumped up. We have a bigger budget for prizes on the night time show. That adds a lot of excitement and RuPaul is the celebrity guest and that’s the special surprise we have coming up. He will play along with the contestants for charity and that makes it really exciting.”
The official Twitter account teased fans to come "shimmy and shake" with RuPaul and they can't keep calm. "I'm so glad @RuPaul survived his appearance on the #PriceIsRight," one said and another wrote, "The real question is, why isn’t ‘Price is Right’ on with @RuPaul EVERY night? #PriceIsRight #RuPaul #PriceIsRightAtNight." Another posted, "$97,266 donated to Planned Parenthood thanks to RuPaul and #PriceIsRight."
