The Price is Right for a Windsorite
A Windsor man has landed two television roles in the same week in Los Angeles.
It started back in the first week of December. Justin Fox, former Student Representative Council president of St. Clair College and his friends Mark Wolf and Katy Ellis were going to Los Angeles to be on a show on Comedy Central called Workaholics. Wolf won a walk-on role through a charity auction put on by Jon Stewart and Comedy Central.
“He found this charity auction online because we like this show so much, so that’s why he bid on it,” said Fox.
The day before they left, Fox, Wolf and Ellis managed to get tickets to The Price is Right. They originally were going out there for three days, and then extended their trip to four.
The three Windsorites were hopeful to get on the show, but never actually thought their wish would come true.
“I think everybody’s watched Price is Right from when they were young to even now,” Fox said.
“I still even remember calling in sick when I went to school just so I could stay home to watch it”.
The Price is Right episode Fox appeared in was aired Feb.18.
“You never dream to see yourself on that stage,” Fox said.
Wolf was originally the only one of the friends who was supposed to be on Workaholics. They ended up calling him the day before the show and asked if his friends wanted to be extras as well.
“Workaholics is one of our favourite shows, it’s just one of those comedies that you can just sit back and laugh about, “said Fox.
“This was just a fluke. We didn’t really know where to look for it, Mark was just Googling Workaholics one day and this popped up.”
Home again; Fox said he is content with working as the assistant to the associate vice president of academic operations at St. Clair College, after watching what stars have to go through every day.
“It was kind of cool because within the first two days [of our trip] that’s when The Price is Right and Workaholics happened, so it was right away. The rest of the time was just living in that glory and enjoying it.”
The Workaholics episode they are featured in will air at the end of March.
