Your favorite Rod moment
KyleCHaight:
One Rod moment that sticks out in my mind was during the 20th season priemiere when they were doing the "Rod Tries To Become the ULLLLLLLTimate Surfer" skit. At the close of it, Rod strolls onto the turntable trying to "dance" like a surfer, smiling as always, and you see Bob in the background in disbelief. Truly funny.

My favorite Rod moment was one from, I believe, the late 80's.
There was a contestant on TPIR who worked for a newspaper. He told Bob he would write an article about how much fun he had on the show. Bob told him to make sure he mentions everyone's names in that article. Pointing to Rod, Bob asked if he remembers the announcer's name. The contestant said "Uh....Norm?"
After the commercial break, Bob points to Rod and asks "Who's our next contestant, Norm?"
At the end of the show, Rod announced "This is Norm, also known as Rod Roddy, speaking for The Price Is Right!".

I've never seen or heard it, but I can imagine the "If you'd like to be a contestent on Hit Man: Forget it!" incident.
TPiR- Nicole "Thorensen" incident.
I also liked the skits they used to do in the showcases. For example Rod doesn't make statements with flowers, but he makes statements with food. (circa right after Dian got let go)

I have a couple of Rod faves...
1- Rappin Rod- Come on! You have to give the guy credit for having the guts to do that! At least he had Kathleen and Dian to back him up as "fly girls"
2- Rod lookalike- Surprised no one mentioned this. They found someone that looked EXACTLY like Rod, and he participated in the showcase as usual. The real Rod came out though, and said "that guy's an imposter!"
For some reason, Rod's participation in the showcases faded away, which IMO took away from the fun of the showcases. Was it concern for Rod's health, or was it that Bob felt his participation was not needed? Maybe Randy or Burton (whomever they decide) can be persuaded to do showcase skits, if Roger, Phil, and Bob think it'll work.
The last physical thing Rod did was jumping on a trampoline (and I MISSED that one!)
and that was just before his on camera appearances disappeared, with exception to the recent 32nd season premiere.

The all time Rod moment for me had to be the TPIR Beauty Contest showcase (1988), where Janice, Dian and Holly got their runner-up prizes, and then Rod comes out in full drag with the sash and the tiara and everything, and announces that Rodwina, a late entrant, won the pageant and the grand prize (a car, I think). Hysterical stuff.
