Rod Roddy's Wild Radio Stunts

0:00On April 9th, Rod Roddy, the legendary voice of The Price is Right, started out wild in Dallas radio at station K-Life back in the 1960s. He pulled stunts like announcing a new show, pushing buttons just like Howard Stern would later do, drawing heat from the mayor and locals. One infamous live interview exploded when he poured ice water over a former Miss America's head.

Folks flooded the lines calling for help, even before 9-I-1-1 existed and an ambulance rushed in while she played innocent.
