[tallguytommy]

I do



[ILovestorms]

@tallguytommy They use the same cue music in "Make Your Move" and Cover Up" that they use in "Check Game".

[Christmas4eva]

Do you still have the bed?

[ericmarshall19]

so hows the bed? is it comfy?

[abcdef53015]

Omg I love you, you're so cute!

[tallguytommy]

Thanks Bud. We check game winners are a rare breed.

[MrWayForward]

You know I would be as happy to get this huge check as the items themselves as well.

You're part of this game history and just a few peeps on you tube can be proud to claim that (and the whole earth)

[tallguytommy]

Thanks. Have the framed check just to my left as I write this.

[mrhorgan]

Great job playing Check Game! I miss that game but I heard from my friend that it's suppose to come back soon :)

[tallguytommy]

I didn't realize it had been retired. I did a search that said they retired Check Game and Crdit Card.

[gameshowguy2000]

@tallguytommy

Nope, neither are retired. They're just on hiatus.

[tallguytommy]

@gameshowguy2000 cool

[heine71]

To bad Check Game is retired...

[gameshowguy2000]

@heine71

No, it's not retired. It's just on hiatus.

[tallguytommy]

Still have it and the patio furniture.

[CommanderC00L558]

Where's the bed now?

[KiloByte69]

When I was a kid this was one of my favorite daytime tv shows.

[tallguytommy]

Thanks for watching. Those mid 90's were the best years for the show. I watch Drew. He's not Bob but I'm OK with that. 

[tnawcwvictoria]

Well let me say this, I use to watch TPIR w/Bob Barker until the 29th Season when they got rid of the old models, but the 90's, I was SO glad that you won the Check Game, now if you would've said $3300, then you would've been OVER, but if you would've wrote $3200, then you would've won by $61, but $2300 isn't bad.

Good Job

and BTW, did you ever watch TPIR w/other hosts of the show?

[games507]

I love the start of the show were it says The Price is Right Made in the USA & Americas #1 choice.That is 100% true.fremantle media should take a look at this.It's made in the USA by an American NOT england by a brit.I wish fremantle would go back there and stay there.Them and that 33 year old baby that they call an executive producer are destroying this show.This is the real Price is Right that I serverly miss.

[NDW85]

I love the part where the cameraman shakes his camera for no. Cracks me up everytime I see it.

[teedub3732]

Thomas! Thomas! Thomas! Thomas! Awesome! TW

[tallguytommy]

@teedub3732

Thanks Timmy

[norcosfunnies]

Nice play of the Check Game!

[tallguytommy]

Thanks. It's still fun for me to watch it.

[tallguytommy]

Thanks. The off-air video was recorded on a home Beta machine...thay always have had better quality.

People still can't explain that game...go figure.

That wheel is heavy. I nearly pulled muscle.

Glad you enjoyed it as it was one of the coolest things that I've ever done.

[neilrocks87]

1st of al, AWESOME video quality. You just don't see episode this old is such good shape.

2nd, Way to explain Chack Game! It always bugged me that contestants claim they know how to play it and the don't.

Lastly, bummer on the Big Wheel!

[Grapes428]

Well I would hope you had the check framed, voided or not voided. What an honor and one of the few games you get a souvenir from.

[tallguytommy]

And to have Bob Barker's signature too!

[Colortiniz]

Congrats on the bed and the cash! Questions... What did you do with the bed? Did they send the full amount of the check and 1099 you or do they pull out taxes first? What did you do with the fake check?

[tallguytommy]

I still have the bed and sleep in it too!. They pulled California tax out but since I live in Ohio, I filed for a refund from California. It's all considered income by US. I had the check framed.

[tallguytommy]

WOW very good! Yes, I edited it out. Bob teased it right after he came out on stage.

[NDW85]

Wasn't this during the week where TPIR was doing promos for a home viewer showcase or something like that?

[tallguytommy]

They are shipped. Mine showed up three months after the taping. I asked if I could receive cash instead of the prizes and they said that was not an option.

[tallguytommy]

6'6" and Bob is around 6'2"

[shaochiavang]

i always wonder this question, how do you get your prices? do they give it to you at the end of the show or something?

[NWABCS]

I am sure you get this a lot but how tall are you? lol.

[tallguytommy]

6'6" and Bob is around 6'2"

[Matt2779]

Anyone ever see the price is right episode where the doors close on bob barker as he is stepping out onto stage? It was so funny he was like WTF!!!!!!!

[the69chevykid]

Wow, you are one of a handful of people (including myself) who actually know how to play Check Game. Very well done.

You're lucky you got to see one of Dian's last shows.

[tallguytommy]

Thanks for the nice comment. Ya, that was the best era for models.

[Seventiesfan]

I'm also among the few people who understand the Check Game. It's always amusing that nearly everyone who played that game had no idea how to play it. The frustration on Bob's face was hilarious.

[tallguytommy]

He expected the contestants not to know the game.

Thanks for the comment.

[chiefwahoo64]

my bad, it was aired on the day i was born, not tapped

[tallguytommy]

Cool name huh bud?

[chiefwahoo64]

Tom not only has the same name as me, he has the same middle name as me and he was not only on the price is right on my birthday, he was on the day i was born, coincidence or what?

[unit34]

Those legs are still white and boney after 16 years!
