Barney Stinson Made It, Too

Here's a Fun Fact!  Before starring in TV's "Breaking Bad," Aaron Paul overbid on a "Price Is Right" showcase by $132


Wait, is this actually true?  Maybe somebody who looked like him.


Nope...this is 100% fact.  Back in 2000, during the 28th season of "The Price Is Right," an unknown Aaron Paul was in fact a contestant on the show.  He made his way up on stage and ended up winning the Showcase Showdown, earning himself a spot in the show's grand finale, the Showcase. 

His showcase involved a sports car of some sort and his bid was quite accurate.  Unfortunately, he was part of the saddest thing on television, a Showcase Double Over-bid in which nobody wins anything except the pet population.  Aaron's bid was over the actual retail value of the showcase by a mere $132.

If you still think I'm making stuff up, you can refer to Aaron Paul's IMDB Page, or to This Helpful Video
