A phrase used to describe when low class or working class people watch Youtube/Instagram/TikTok stars and envy their rich lifestyles, not realizing that most of those stars came from wealth and had better opportunities because of nepotism. The idea of "becoming rich" doesn't exist in modern times, but "rich watching" has replaced this to make it easier for low and working class people to swallow reality.
"Did you see that new trend on Tiktok?"
"No, sorry, I don't like Rich Watching."
"Huh?"
"I'm not a fan of watching rich people live their rich lives. I need to focus on my own goals."
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.
Rich Fields was the on-camera announcer on the Price Is Right from 2004 to 2010.
