On Thursday, December 25 and Thursday, January 1, CBS is handing fans of “The Young and the Restless” a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s present in the form of original episodes of the daytime drama series, the network recently announced.

After five weeks of eliminations and heartbreak, “The Price is Right” narrowed its next male model search down to three – Jonathan Morgan, Jay Byars and James O’Halloran – when the finalists appeared on the Monday, December 1 edition of CBS’ “The Talk.” After the reveal, America began voting for who they felt best fit the brand of the game show when the polls opened via priceisright.com/nextpricemodel. Polls closed on Friday, December 5. Today, December 8, the game show revealed who would finally take home the prize of becoming the next male model on “The Price is Right,” which entails a week-long modeling gig beginning Monday, December 15. So who did America choose?

You met the three finalists for the next male model search currently underway at CBS’ “The Price is Right,” via their appearance on the Monday, December 1 edition of CBS’ “The Talk,” but what does the game show’s first male model, Robert Scott Wilson (Ben Ridgeway, “Days of our Lives”; ex-Pete Cortlandt, “All My Children”) have to say about another person taking on his former daytime role? The actor recently spoke with Soap Opera Network about his experience on the game show, what it was like helping judge the competition, and responds to comments made about him by “Price is Right” executive producer, Mike Richards.

Call it a coincidence of sorts if you like but CBS’ “The Talk” today announced the three finalists for the ultimate prize of becoming “The Price is Right’s” next male model, and their names all just so happen to start with the letter “J.”
