Rock Chalk Bob Barker!

They didn’t win the car but they did get national exposure on the nation’s Number One daytime TV show, The Price is Right.
 
During the KU Men’s Glee Club's tour of Southern California in early January, the  42-member group split up to attend two taping sessions of the show Jan. 10.
 
In one of the programs, John Paul Johnson, KU director of choirs, was called to “come on down” to be a contestant. He did not make it up on stage but did manage to inform Barker that the Glee Club was in the audience. Barker then invited the Glee Club down to the front and at the end of the show, the studio audience of 300-plus and a TV audience of 5.6 million was serenaded by “I’m a Jay Jay Jayhawk.”

MORE JAYHAWK TV SIGHTINGS: Glee Club members were not the only Jayhawks to get national TV time.

KU psychology professor Chris Crandall, an expert on discrimination against overweight people, was a guest on the nationally broadcast Jane Pauley Show Feb. 23. The show focused on the off-broadway play “Fat Pig,” written by KU graduate Neil Labute. The play is about an urbanite who risks the disapproval of his colleagues and friends by dating an overweight woman.

Another LaBute play, “Some Girls,” now on stage in London features Friends star David Schwimmer.
