Teleflora flowers featured on ‘Price is Right’

A year’s worth of gorgeous blooms (one bouquet a month) was among the showcase prizes recently featured on “The Price is Right.”

You can see for yourself by tuning in on April 18. Check your local listings for times.

Some colleagues and I attended the taping at CBS in late March and it was a fun behind-the-scenes look at a television institution.

At 36 years old, “The Price is Right” is the longest running game show in history; it averages 5 million viewers daily. Current host Drew Carey’s dry wit and easy rapport helps contestants stay calm (sort of) while the excited audience cheers them on. Before the show starts, dance music pumps into the studio, lest anyone’s energy level begins to dip.

There were lots of students on spring break in the audience, some of whom had traveled across the country to take part. (I can’t tell you who won or I’d spoil the surprise.)

During a break in taping, Carey was asked by an out-of-towner for dinner recommendations. His picks: In-N-Out Burger, Roscoe’s House of Chicken’ N Waffles, Pink’s Hot Dogs on LaBrea and King Taco.

This is the second of three appearances for TF flowers; stay tuned for more details.

Flower Fact of the Day: Sweet violet was exported widely from Europe in colonial times and was a popular cut flower in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, according to author Mick Lavelle.
