Professor Price was a short-lived, large animatronic, puppet-like character from the equally short-lived pricing game of the same name from the long-running game show The Price is Right.
Background[]
General knowledge and pricing questions were used for this character until the contestant gave either three correct responses and won the car or three incorrect responses and lost the game. The contestant's progress was tracked by the professor's hands; correct answers were counted by upward-pointing fingers on the puppet's right hand while incorrect answers were counted by downward-pointing fingers on his left hand. When the answer was correct, the professor smiled and nodded his head. But if the answer was incorrect, he frowned and shook his head.
