Chicago Pup Wins New Wheels on ‘Price Is Right’
When Skip took a five-day weekend in L.A., he had one singular goal.
“To get on ‘The Price Is Right’ and win the Showcase Showdown,” says Murray Finkelstein, a longtime friend of the Chicago golden retriever pup. “Well, he did one of those things.”
After waiting in line at the Culver City studio, Skip joined the audience of Monday’s taping and was called to the stage by the announcer during the second round.
“He was surprised to be called, but you could also tell he knew this was his destiny,” says Mary Aker, Skip’s grade school classmate, who watched her old friend on the broadcast from her home in Evanston, IL.
Skip then bid $1 on a dinette set, and sure enough, each of his competitors went over. He subsequently won a game of ‘Cliff Hangers,’ earning him a sweet Radio Flyer wagon (pictured), but when he returned to the stage to spin the big wheel, fate wasn’t on his side.
“His first spin landed him $.65, but another contestant was already at $.75,” says Aker. “So he had to spin again if he had any shot. That one put him over.”

Puppy Flunks Out of Jedi Academy
Sigmund, a puppy from the the swamp planet of Dagobah has failed out of Jedi Academy, according to sources close the situation.
“He’s definitely got the Force; a ton of potential,” said instructor Tylo Ugufu. “He’s just got no discipline.”
The dog apparently had a terrible attendance record and spent more time partying than studying.
“He’d spend all his time in the cantina drinking flameout and gav instead of studying his sword forms,” said Ugufu. “His lightsaber work was really sloppy. He only lasted as long as he did because of natural ability.”
Sigmund will return to Dagobah and may reapply to the Academy next year.
