Staying awhile in Hollywood to talk with legendary game show announcer - and author - Randy West ('The Price Is Right', 'Supermarket Sweep') talks about leaving New York to start both a radio and television career to working with game show greats like Dick Clark, Bob Barker, Bob Eubanks and the amazing Johnny Olsen, and all the success stories in between, it's an entertaining interview from beginning to end! Randy also discusses making the transition from working behind the radio mic to television mic (no easy feat, and he explains why), to how his longtime mentor, Johnny Olsen inspired both Randy's broadcast career and his writing career, including Randy's book 'Johnny Olson: A Voice in Time' and his recent book 'TV INSIDE-OUT: Flukes, Flakes, Feuds and Felonies'! This long time booth announcer digs deep into the highs and lows of working over 35 years in show business, those huge differences between voicing a show on the air and working a game show to showmanship in the voiceover booth and more. And catch his update on the National Archives of Game Show History, too! If you love anything to do with game shows - this podcast is for you. Join us!
