That鈥檚 right, dudes, it鈥檚 time for you to come on down to The Price is Right,聽but this time they鈥檙e not looking for contestants. For the first time in the game show鈥檚 history, the search is on for a male model to join the ranks of Amber Lancaster, Gwendolyn Osborne, Manuela Arbelaez, and Rachel Reynolds as showcase models.

TV Line says that there will be an open call in Los Angeles to find one lucky (handsome) fellow to show off cars, appliances, and give Plinko chips to contestants. The open call takes place Thursday, August 30th, from 10am to 2pm PST at KCBS Studios, 4024 Radford Avenue, Studio City, California. So if you鈥檙e in the area and have the time to leave the gym, it might be in your best interest to try out.聽

The first round will have producers and the current female models 鈥� Amber Lancaster, Gwendolyn Osborne, Manuela Arbelaez, and Rachel Reynolds 鈥� judging the hopefuls after checking out their verbal skills, their ability to pose and 鈥�properly showcase a product,鈥� and more. Then, on September 28th, up to six finalists will be announced on the game show itself and a web series will be launched featuring the candidates competing in various challenges. Finally, it will be the viewers who decide by October 4th which male model gets the coveted position. But there鈥檚 a catch: it鈥檚 only a one week gig on the show starting October 15th.

It鈥檚 not clear if the male model will become a mainstay if the audience response is positive, but if that鈥檚 not the case, it kind of feels like a gimmick. Unless someone sick at home with the flu calls in to complain, I don鈥檛 see a reason why a male model can鈥檛 be a permanent installment of the show. Either way, I suppose it鈥檚 something fun to keep the show interesting and engaging after all these years.
