Come on down! It's the first male model on 'The Price is Right'

For its entire run, the models on television’s top daytime program, "The Price Is Right," have been leggy, silent and female. Now the show has decided to dip its toe in the warm waters of gender parity, and following an open casting call for a handsome male model and an online poll, excited viewers have crowned Rob Wilson as the first ever "Price Is Right" boy. The talent search unleashed a torrent of great publicity, but the powers at be are wisely restraining Rob’s display of male hotness to one week starting Oct.15, lest a bacchanalia of untamable female sensuality sweep this nation into a matriarchal Amazon state where gray-haired game-show-loving grandmas hold sway and are slavishly waited on by clean-cut young fellas.
