Announcing the prizes and products on The Price Is Right may seem like a cushy gig, but as George Gray knows, it can be tough to keep up appearances.

Seriously: why don’t you try jogging backward on a treadmill in front of a live studio audience and see how well it goes. Bet you won’t recover nearly as fast as Gray—a consummate professional even in the face of Drew Carey’s cruel laughter.

And there we have it: proof that in a Showcase Showdown with exercise equipment, humans don’t stand a chance.
