The former announcer on the CBS game show "Price Is Right" hired by Bob Barker and Bart Eskander during mid-Season 32 of the series in 2004 after previous announcer Rod Roddy's death in 2003 (after being briefly replaced by veteran game show announcer and personality Randy West) who often made appearances on camera when something funny happens (especially in the Showcases) and can be heard laughing off camera (just like his predecessors Roddy and the original announcer Johnny Olson).
He was kept during the Drew Carey era (as Eskander and executive producer Roger Dobkowitz remained on the show for carey's first season as host) and eventually by Eskanders successor as director, Rich DiPirro (not related to Fields in any way), but then became a Florida weatherman after he left and is now currently a motivational speaker.
As announcer on the series, he was succeeded by former syndicated "The Weakest Link" host George Gray in 2011, who announces the show to this day, who doesn't appear on camera as much as Rich did.
