‘The Price Is Right’ Model James O’Halloran Stuns Fans by Showing Off Unexpected Talent at ‘AGT’
Proving he is far more than just a handsome face, The Price Is Right model James O’Halloran turned heads backstage at America’s Got Talent by demonstrating an impressive, lesser-known set of skills on the red carpet.
Attending a live broadcast of AGT, the Australian model and television personality took a moment on the red carpet to surprise fans, colleagues, and production staff with a polished yo-yo demonstration that quickly went viral on social media.

1. From Game Show Stage to Red Carpet Yo-Yo Master
Following Tuesday’s AGT live episode, production company Fremantle shared a clip on Instagram capturing O’Halloran’s performance, cheekily captioning the post: “#PriceIsRight by day, #AGT yo-yo legend by night!”
-
Classic Tricks on Display: While walking the red carpet as an attendee rather than a contestant, O’Halloran executed a flawless series of classic yo-yo maneuvers, including Walk the Dog, Rock the Baby, and Around the World.
-
A Resounding Verdict: The video wrapped with playful praise from the production crew: “Okay, James. You’ve got talent.”

2. Co-Stars and Fans React with Awe
The demonstration caught his fellow The Price Is Right cast members completely off guard:
-
Co-Star Reactions: Longtime TPIR model Rachel Reynolds expressed pure shock, commenting, “I had no idea!” alongside laughing emojis, while Alexis Gaube joined in with amused reactions of her own.
-
Fan Praise: Viewers flooded the comments section praising O’Halloran’s versatility, calling him a “man of many talents” and jokingly urging him to officially audition for the next season of AGT.
3. A Multi-Talented Performer: From Yo-Yos to Acoustic Riffs
The yo-yo routine is merely the latest in a series of creative hobbies O’Halloran has shared with his audience:
-
Guitar Talents: Earlier this summer, the model posted a video from his home strumming John Mayer’s 2006 classic “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” from the album Continuum.
-
On-Screen Experience: While his guitar playing is slightly more familiar—having previously showcased his musical chops on The Price Is Right—he humbly downplayed his performance on his Instagram Story, writing: “Almost certainly not how @johnmayer plays it, but a fun riff nonetheless.”
Whether commanding the stage on daytime television, playing acoustic ballads, or mastering vintage yo-yo routines, James O’Halloran continues to show that his charm extends well beyond standard runway appeal.
