Paul was actually a contestant on the "Price is Right" about 15 years before he became a star on "Breaking Bad." In fact, Paul and his friends went on "The Price is Right" multiple times.
They were members of the audience so often that they developed a strategy to make sure that one of them would be contestants. It involved picking their seats very precisely.
As Paul noted in an interview, they only choose 9 contestants each show so it was pretty impressive that they were able to work the system so well.
When Paul was finally chosen as a contestant, he was very enthusiastic. High-fiving and jumping his way down to the podium.
