You’ve heard his voice for decades on The Price is Right, Deal or No Deal, Supermarket Sweep, and so many more. But Randy West has seen more than just the shiny side of television. In his new book TV Inside-Out, this 30-year TV veteran takes us deep backstage into the chaos, feuds, and unforgettable moments that shaped the medium we thought we knew. From Johnny Carson’s dark family drama to wild nights at The Price is Right, Randy has been there, and now he is telling it all.



In this conversation with Adam, Randy shares the stories that shocked even him, the lessons that still stick with him, and why success in Hollywood often comes with a steep price. It is funny, it is raw, it is human, and it is a side of television you have never seen before.
