Sadly, news was confirmed today that Rich Fields is no longer the announcer for the long running CBS daytime game show The Price is Right, hosted by Drew Carey. Rumors about this have been swirling for around two months now. Rich has been the announcer of the show since 2004, taking over for the deceased Rod Roddy. I wish Rich the best. He’s a great friend to the site and unbelievably nice.
On-camera auditions will take place the first few weeks of the new season of Price which begins in September. New tapings start next week and hopefully we’ll hear back. And just before the deluge of questions come on: I truly have no idea what happened. I’m usually in the loop for this stuff, but I’m stumped on this one.
One more request, also. The show’s not going to suddenly self destruct so I’d really like to kindly ask people to not do the usual Price thing where something changes and there’s a witch hunt against Drew and doom being spouted left and right. Be supportive and wish Rich your best. He reads and your messages are welcome.
I know these rumors have been around for a while. I have a rule that I won’t post rumors about people like this. It’s just without taste to post rumors about someone’s career. It’s confirmed now, and I hope to see Rich somewhere else soon.
if it ain’t broke don’t fix it !!!bring Rich back!!!!
I hope what ever happens, you guys can get him back, him and Drew make my day, it is so nice and happy guy and should I say handsome too.
BRING RICH BACK, BRING RICH BACK, BRING RICH BACK…….. Need I say more?!?!
We’re all rooting for your re-appearance, Rich Fields.
In all the years I have watched The Price is Right, when Bob Barker started, Rich Fields has been the best announcer there was. Between he & Drew Carey the show had evolved into real entertainment, the bantor between the two is what makes the show worth watching, right now its like every other game show. Someone needs rethinking & bring Rich Fields back. This is about business, & 2 great personalities coming together to make a great show, without him it’s only half as good. Someone has really dropped the ball on this one, What are you thinking?
I have been watching this show from the start I am 80 years old . bring back , Rich Fields he and drew make this show
What Happened?? Bring Rich back!! He made it alive when he announced the the prizes….he and Drew were like Dean and Frank, Bud & Lou, Mom & Apple pie….You get it…..what the H..L happened? The rest are dull.
Please bring Rich Fields back, back, back, back. Who ever decided to replaced him made a big mistake. According to what I read they wanted an announcer with comedy talent. Not only does he has comedy talent but has a very warm quality to his voice. These new announcers do not have any talent as far as comedy, especially when they appear close-up.
They try to be funny but instead come out making these weird faces that are not funny by making these nerds faces with no flair for comedy. As far as announcers well their voice quality do not come close to Rich Fields. I really miss Rich because of his comedy ability and his rich tone to his voice. I believe people are born with talents and Rich Fields was blessed with comedy ability and with an outstanding voice.
rich fields is the best announcer the price is right has every had in the last several years.
I have also watched the Price is Right for years and miss Rich. I rarely watch the show anymore because he is not announcing. Are you people insane. Drew is great, but Rich was draw as well. Bring him back.
