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?
When CBS announced earlier this year that it had picked up a new drama series from Vince Gilligan (“Breaking Bad”) and David Shore (“House”), and that it would star former “All My Children” actor Josh Duhamel (ex-Leo du Pres), “Guiding Light’s” Aubrey Dollar (ex-Marina Cooper) and Dean Winters (“Oz,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”), the network would only say that the series, “Battle Creek,” would air sometime in midseason. Last week the network announced that the series will air on Sundays at 10:00 PM ET/PT, beginning March 1. The series replaces “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” which currently occupies the timeslot and will air its season finale two weeks prior to the launch of “Battle Creek.”
On the Thursday, December 4 broadcast of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report,” host Stephen Colbert covered the ambassadorship of “The Bold and the Beautiful” producer Colleen Bell, wife of head writer and executive producer, Bradley P. Bell, with a hilarious take on the drama surrounding her confirmation following some lively comments from Senator John McCain, who strongly disagreed with President Obama’s choice of Bell for the position. “We’re about to vote on a totally unqualified individual to be ambassador to a nation which is very important to our national security interest. Her qualifications are as a producer of the television soap opera ‘The Bold and The Beautiful,’ contributed 800,000 [dollars] to Obama in the last election and bundled more than $2.1 million for President Obama’s re-election effort,” said McCain on the Senate floor on Tuesday, December 2, just before Bell was confirmed as the U.S. Ambassador to Hungary with a vote of 52-42.
Casey Deidrick co-stars with Victoria Justice in MTV’s scripted drama series “Eye Candy” which is based on the R.L. Stine novel of the same name.
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.
Previously appearing in episodes of TV Land’s “Hot in Cleveland,” former “All My Children” star Cameron Mathison (ex-Ryan Lavery) will appear in tonight’s episode of the network’s “The Exes,” starring Donald Faison, Wayne Knight, and David Alan Basche.
While Bravo’s “The Real Housewives” reality franchise has always been considered an unscripted soap, tonight marks the first time a current soap star will be seen as a regular when “The Young and the Restless” and “Days of our Lives” actress Eileen Davidson joins the group of women in “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
It seems like forever ago since we reported Susan Lucci (ex-Erica Kane, “All My Children”) got a wonderful surprise while visiting NBCUniversal’s syndicated daytime talker, “The Meredith Vieira Show,” via a reunion of sorts with former “AMC” co-star, Walt Willey (ex-Jackson Montgomery). In your first look at the episode, airing Tuesday, December 2, Lucci tells host Meredith Vieira how her character on the ABC Daytime soap opera helped many immigrants learn to speak English. Later the two take part in a Soap Opera Showdown, which included Willey as a surprise participant alongside Lucci.
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.”
