Gwendolyn Osborne-Smith made a name for herself as a "The Price is Right" model for 12 years. She recently left the show to focus on her new role as COO at Smith Entertainment Group. That's the production company she runs alongside her husband, Emmy Award-winning broadcaster and former NBA player, Kenny Smith.
Osborne-Smith sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith in Los Angeles to talk about why she decided to start the production company, and how she is working with her husband on the venture. The company just signed a multi-year development deal with ITV America.
Osborne-Smith also talks about how the duo bring different skills to the table, as Kenny is much more involved in sports and live broadcasting. She says she would be open to creating her own game show after being on one for so many years.
