Interview with Barker Beauty, Claudia Jordan
TGSI= Toeth's Game Show Insights, CJ= Claudia Jordan
TGSI: Have you done any similar work prior to joining The Price is Right?
CJ: I haven't done any other gamseshows before TPIR. But I have done a lot of
other jobs. Over 200 print bookings, 11 National TV commercials, many music
videos guest starring roles on a couple of TV shows and a couple cameos in
some movies. One with Al Pacino comming out this summer called "Simone". I
was also a finalist in the Miss USA pageant in 1997 (Miss Rhode Island).
TGIS: How did you obtain the job?
CJ: I just went to the big open call they had for the job. There were hundreds of
pretty girls there. I thought it was a long shot. But that's how I do
best, long shots. My entire career has been getting lucky in a series of
LONG SHOTS.
TGSI: Were you a regular viewer of The Price is Right before you got the job?
CJ: I really didnt watch the Price is Right much at all. Only a few times. My
mother did though. When she arrived here from Italy years ago she was a
regular viewer. I didnt watch much tv growing up. I was more of an outdoors
type of kid.
TGSI: What was your favorite moment in the shows' history?
CJ: My favorite Price is Right moment??? Well. That's easy! The day they annouced
me as a permanent Barkers Beauty! There are countless days that I laugh and
really enjoy my job cause there are so many funny moments. Especially the
back stage antics with Me & Nikki!
TGSI: How is it being able to work with Bob Barker?
CJ:
Bob... well..... we don't get to interact much with him. He is a very good
host and is witty every day with the contestants. He has so much experience.
Rod Roddy is a great announcer! I think he is so sweet! A real nice guy, too!
TGSI:
Although it may look simple on TV, did they have any rehearsals to learn how to present the prizes?
CJ: Yes, we rehearse every day for an hour and show everything before we
tape, its more for the camera guys than for us. We pretty much got it down! :)
TGSI: What is your favorite Price is Right game?
CJ:
My favorite games are Plinko cause you can win cash, and everyone loves it.
And also ITS IN THE BAG, another game that you can win cash in cause I
like how Bob toys with the contestants and leaves them in suspense. Good
build up!
TGSI: What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
CJ:
In my spare time I try to go to as many auditions as possible. I am
constantly looking for work. I would like to host my own show one day. I also
run every day and love to shop and cook. I am a pretty good cook. I have
three cats that I take care of (my kids) and they are Nuetered!
TGSI:
Those are all the questions. Thank you for your time! : )
CJ:
Thanks........ Claudia.
