Mimi Bobeck, Executive Producer
A Look at the "TPIR" April Fool's Show
From Cleveland Plain Dealer
When not thinking up ways to save his hometown, Cleveland native Drew Carey is fooling around with fun ideas for his CBS game show, "The Price is Right." On Thursday, April Fools' Day, Carey welcomes special guest Kathy Kinney, who will be reprising her Mimi Bobek character from ABC's "The Drew Carey Show" (1995-2002).
This is becoming something of an April Fools' Day tradition. Kinney showed up as Mimi for last year's April 1 show.
For this Thursday's show, airing at on CBS, Mimi takes over the show as executive producer and makes some unexpected changes, including the addition of four unusual looking male models and the replacing of announcer Rich Fields with a man in a monkey suit.
Mimi was the nemesis of the Drew Carey character on the comedian's ABC series, which was set in Cleveland.

Wheel of Fortune is getting into the spirit of things with a really fun April Fool's Day episode. Watch the show on April 1st, and you'll notice that some things are just a little off.
As a matter of fact, ten things will be different about the show, and you can play along at home to spot what the differences are. Download and print a spreadsheet (which lists the segments during the show when you should be looking for the oddities) from the Wheel of Fortune website, and then you can check back there the following day to see how well you did. There's also a clip there of the "Pat is bald" gag, if you missed it in 2008.
