When Bill Cullen's edition of The Price is Right was on in prime time the fourth contestant was a celebrity. (I remember when Yul Brenner made his entrance dressed in cosutme as the King of Siam, but I digress.) If the current edition of TPIR were to bring on celebrities the producers would have to match the celebrity to the appropriate pricing game such as....
Cliffhangers - Sir Edmund Hillary
Cover Up - Richard Nixon
Credit Card - Donald Trump
Golden Road - Dorothy (Gale), the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion
Joker - Jack Nicholson
Now or Then - Mr. Peabody and his boy, Sherman
Pathfinder - Lewis & Clark
Side by Side - Chang & Eng
Switch? - Dr. Renee Richards
Temptation - Eve
On the Nose - Pinocchio
Shower Game - Norman Bates' "Mother"
1/2 Off - John Wayne Bobbitt
Surely, you can think of others! (and don't call me Shirley!)

I remember an ATGSer making a TPIR parody with a bunch of Simpsons stars and other classic TV stars.
I thought it was one of the most dreadful things I had ever read. </Simon Cowell>

Note to be political, but...
Flip Flop - John Kerry (Someone had to see that coming)

And someone already did (http://\"http://gameshow.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=6096&view=findpost&p=63087\") see it coming. Enough with the politics, please.

3 Strikes - Randy Johnson (or your favorite pitcher)
Phone Home Game - E.T.
Pathfinder - John C Fremont (for you history buffs)
Master Key - Moranis Rick (and Weaver Sigourney is the Keeper Gate)
Freeze Frame - J Geils Band

Or if you've seen "The Grudge", Sarah Michelle Gellar.

You get the credit for that--I was going to post it but thought it'd be too obscure for some people.

You did work with the man, but I might've gone with Joe Carcione (the legendary "Green Grocer"). But this may work out. :)
I might as well try to come up with one of my own:
PICK A PAIR -- Dolly Parton
Doug -- who now heads for the TTD90 room

One might suggest that Tyson is better suited to 1/2 Off (Your Ear) :)

COVER UP: Tara Reid/Janet Jackson
[quote name=\'tvrandywest\' date=\'Nov 7 2004, 10:43 AM\']HOLE IN ONE (OR TWO) - Lee Harvey Oswald![/quote]

"Thief")
Dice Game with either Linda Ronstadt or The Rolling Stones (Both had hits

Why would he not be able to play his own namesake game?
"Eh. Lookit that. I rolled a six. <spit> <crack> Un-<BLEEP>ing-believable. OHHHHH!"
