====The Contestants Row Podiums====
 
====The Contestants Row Podiums====
When ''The Price is Right'' started as a half-hour show, all four podiums were <font color="orange">orange</font> and the contestants' bids were in egg-crate displays, with a Goodson-Todman asterisk on the left (similar to the star on the left on the original version) to indicate the winning bid (both the bid and the asterisk would flash upon the ARP reveal). Starting in 1975, just before ''The Price is Right'' expanded to an hour, the podiums appeared in different colors and in this order: <font color="red">red</font>, <font color="green">green</font>, <font color="orange">orange</font> and <font color="sky blue">sky blue</font>; plus the bids were/are now in sports-type display. The colors of the second and fourth podiums switched in 1981. Starting from the airdate of January 30, 2002 in the Daytime Series and the the 30th Anniversary Special, the color of the second podium changed from <font color="sky blue">sky blue</font> to <font color="blue">blue</font>; starting with the airdate of January 31, 2003 in the Daytime Series and with the first ''Million Dollar Spectacular,'' the color of the third podium changed from <font color="orange">orange</font> to <font color="yellow">yellow</font> and has stayed there ever since. For Seasons 36-37, the colors all became a brighter screen from a previous normal screen. Since Season 38, Contestants’ Row is made up of LCD monitors, but the familiar SportsType display remains; plus, the screens can now hold five digits (before this, the screens held four) and also the brighter colors were changed back to its normal colors. Starting in season 40, the frame borders around the displays were removed. Also on special shows, special animations and symbols are showing on the monitors in place of the regular colors; when the bids are entered, the animation/symbol is removed, revealing each podium's normal colors. The contestants row was overhauled massively starting in October 2020. Due to COVID-19, an audience was no longer viable. The row was changed to four separate podiums the contestants stand at, and contestants are now pre-selected. The value on the podium not only flashes, but the $ also sparkles for the winner.

The Price is Right (sometimes formerly called The New Price is Right in daytime or The Nighttime Price is Right in syndication as well) is an ultra-successful game show based on pricing and values. Its success can be from the fact that contestants are picked right from the studio audience under the call to "COME ON DOWN!" (courtesy of the announcer) as well as the numerous mini games (mainly called pricing games) played for cash and prizes.

The Models

Original Version

  • Beverly Bentley
  • June Ferguson
  • Maryann James
  • Gail Sheldon
  • Carolyn Stroupe
  • Toni Wallace

Current Version

ADDITIONAL NOTE: A few of the models from Price were also models on the original NBC primetime version of Deal or No Deal as well (ex: Lanisha Cole, Lisa Gleave, Claudia Jordan, Mylinda Tov, Sonia Vera, Kristal Marshall, and Enya Flack) from 2005 until 2009.

1956-1964's Version Gameplay

On the original version of The Price Is Right, four contestants – one a returning champion, the other three chosen from the studio audience – bid on items or ensembles of items in an auction-style format.

A prize was presented for the contestants to bid on. A minimum bid was specified. After the opening bid, contestants bid on the item in turn with each successive bid a certain amount higher than the previous bid. A contestant could freeze his/her current bid instead of increasing it if he/she believed his/her bid was close enough to win. A later rule allowed contestants, on their opening bid only, to "underbid" the other bids, but this automatically froze their bid and prevented them from later increasing the original bid. Some rounds were designated as one-bid rounds, where only one round of bidding was held (this is the format used on the current version of The Price is Right); sometimes the minimum-bid and higher-bid threshold rules also were waived.

The bidding continued until a buzzer sounded, at which point each contestant who had not yet "frozen" was given one final bid. Bidding also ended when three of the contestants had frozen, at which point the fourth contestant was allowed one final bid unless he/she already had the high bid. Cullen then read the actual retail price of the prize. The contestant whose bid was closest without going over the actual price won the item. If everyone overbid, the prize was not won; however, Cullen sometimes had the overbids erased and instructed players to give lower bids before reading the actual price (similar to what is done on the current CBS version and its syndicated spinoffs).

Frequently, a bell rang after the winner was revealed, indicating a bonus prize accompanied the item up for bids. While this was typically an additional prize, a bonus game often accompanied the prize (e.g. a tune-matching game, where a clip of a well-known song was played and the contestant matched it with a face for a cash bonus).

After a set number of rounds (four on the nighttime version, six on the daytime version), the contestant who accumulated the highest value in cash and prizes became the champion and returned on the next show.

Celebrity Contestants

During the ABC run of the show, Celebrities came on as contestants and played against the three civilian contestants (one a returning champion) while trying to win prizes for a home viewer or studio audience member. Even if they win the game, celebrities can only play for one day/night although they can come back for a future appearance. So if the celebrity did manage to win the most, then the contestant with the highest total of all the civilians came back as the champion.

Home Viewer "Showcases"

The Price Is Right frequently featured a home viewer "Showcase," a multi-prize package for which home viewers were invited to submit their bids via postcard. The viewer who was closest to the actual retail price without going over won everything in the Showcase, but one item was sometimes handmade so the viewer could not check the price of all the items. The term "Showcase" would, in time, be replaced by "sweepstakes."

Very often, home viewers were stunningly accurate with their bids, including several viewers who guessed the price correct down to the penny. In such a case, the tied contestants were informed and asked to give the price of a stated item; this continued until one of the contestants broke the tie (re-ties and all-overbids were thrown out). The Showcases remain in today's CBS version (including the phrase "This Showcase can be yours if The Price is Right"), while Home Viewer Showcases were done for a time in the 1980s (including to-the-penny guesses).

Prizes

While many of the prizes on the original Price Is Right were normal, standard game show fare (e.g., furniture, appliances, home electronics, furs, trips, and cars), there were many instances of outlandish prizes being offered. This was particularly true of the nighttime version, which had a larger prize budget.

Examples:

  • A 1926 Rolls-Royce with chauffeur
  • A Ferris wheel
  • Shares of corporate stock
  • An island in the St. Lawrence Seaway

Sometimes, large amounts of food (such as a mile of hot dogs along with buns and enough condiments (perhaps to go with a barbecue pit)) were offered as the bonus.

Other examples of outlandish or "exceptionally unique" bonus prizes:

  • Accompanying a color TV, a live peacock (a play on the NBC logo) to serve as a "color guide."
  • Accompanying a barbecue pit and the usual accessories, a live Angus steer.
  • Accompanying a prize package of items needed to throw a backyard party, big band legend Woody Herman and His Orchestra.
  • Accompanying a raccoon coat worth $29.95, a sable coat valued at $23,000.
  • A bonus prize of a 16x32' in-ground swimming pool, installed in the winner's back yard in one day.
  • A bonus prize of a trip to Israel to appear as an extra in the 1960 film Exodus. (Both offered on the January 13, 1960 airing.)

In the early 1960s, the dynamic of the national economy was such that the nighttime show could offer homes in new subdivisions (sometimes fully furnished) as prizes, sometimes with truly suspenseful bidding among the contestants. In the last two seasons of the nighttime run, the series gave away small business franchises (like a take-out fried chicken establishment or a mobile dry-cleaning operation). In some events, the outlandish prizes were merely for show; for instance, contestants may bid on the original retail price for a 1920s car, but would instead win a more contemporary model.

Current Version Gameplay

One Bid

One Bid is a qualifying game, played with four contestants standing at the foot of the stage ("Contestants' Row"). A prize is shown and each player gives a bid for the item. Contestants bid in dollars and not cents (as the retail prices are rounded off to the nearest dollar) and may not bid the same amount as any player bid previously for that item. The contestant who bids closest to the actual retail price of the prize, without going over, wins the prize and advances on to the stage for an individual pricing game. A contestant that bids the exact price also receives a cash bonus ($100 from May 23, 1977 to November 9, 1998 and $500 starting on November 10, 1998). If all four contestants overbid, they all must bid again, lower than the lowest bid. Four initial contestants are chosen from the audience at the start of the show to play the first One Bid round and bid in order from left to right; before each subsequent One Bid round, a new contestant is chosen from the audience to replace the previous winner (new contestants always bid first).

The Contestants Row Podiums

When The Price is Right started as a half-hour show, all four podiums were orange and the contestants' bids were in egg-crate displays, with a Goodson-Todman asterisk on the left (similar to the star on the left on the original version) to indicate the winning bid (both the bid and the asterisk would flash upon the ARP reveal). Starting in 1975, just before The Price is Right expanded to an hour, the podiums appeared in different colors and in this order: red, green, orange and sky blue; plus the bids were/are now in sports-type display. The colors of the second and fourth podiums switched in 1981. Starting from the airdate of January 30, 2002 in the Daytime Series and the the 30th Anniversary Special, the color of the second podium changed from sky blue to blue; starting with the airdate of January 31, 2003 in the Daytime Series and with the first Million Dollar Spectacular, the color of the third podium changed from orange to yellow and has stayed there ever since. For Seasons 36-37, the colors all became a brighter screen from a previous normal screen. Since Season 38, Contestants’ Row is made up of LCD monitors, but the familiar SportsType display remains; plus, the screens can now hold five digits (before this, the screens held four) and also the brighter colors were changed back to its normal colors. Starting in season 40, the frame borders around the displays were removed. Also on special shows, special animations and symbols are showing on the monitors in place of the regular colors; when the bids are entered, the animation/symbol is removed, revealing each podium's normal colors. The contestants row was overhauled massively starting in October 2020. Due to COVID-19, an audience was no longer viable. The row was changed to four separate podiums the contestants stand at, and contestants are now pre-selected. The value on the podium not only flashes, but the $ also sparkles for the winner.

Pricing Games

Each winner of the six One Bid rounds is called onto the stage to play a pricing game to play for 1 prize, multiple prizes valued at least several thousand dollars, or a cash prize.

NOTES:

  • As of 2009, when winning a brand new car, the contestant also receive a license plate frame saying that this contestant won that car on the show. It also has a "Winner" card contained.
  • At one time due to the difficulty of playing and lack of winners, Bullseye (1) switched to two-player mode, hence the name Double Bullseye. This particular format found its way to the Australian version for the Showcase round.
  • Blank Check was renamed Check Game due to a lawsuit by Jack Barry Productions because the company produced a game show with that name. Check Game made its return on June 20, 2013, with a refurbished prop.

There are currently 73 pricing games in rotation. Regardless of whether or not the pricing game is won, all One-Bid winners advance automatically to the Showcase Showdown, which occurs twice in each hour-long episode, after every three pricing games. Before the expansion to 60-minute episodes, during the first two nighttime versions and some late 1980s-early 1990s cut-down daytime episodes (due to the Pillsbury Bake-Off), each 30-minute episode featured only three One-Bids, each followed by a pricing game. After three pricing games had been played, the two on-stage contestants with the greatest winnings faced off in the Showcase.

Showcase Showdown

This has been used since the show expanded to a 60-minute format in 1975, and only in 60-minute formats. The Showcase Showdown determines which contestants will compete in the Showcases at the end of the show. There are two Showcase Showdowns in each episode, one each after every three pricing games. Each Showcase Showdown features the three contestants who played the preceding three pricing games.

Each contestant spins a large wheel which is segmented and marked with values from five cents to a dollar, in increments of five cents. The wheel must make one complete downward revolution for the spin to qualify and the contestant will be booed by the audience and must spin again if the spin fails to do so. Disabled contestants or those otherwise unable to make a qualifying spin are generally assisted by either a family member/friend or the host.

The winner of each Showdown is the contestant who spins the highest value closest to one dollar in one spin or a total of two spins without exceeding one dollar. A contestant whose score totals more than $1.00 is eliminated from the game. In the event the first two contestants go over $1.00, the third contestant automatically advances to the showcase but will spin once to see if they can get $1.00.

A total of exactly one dollar wins $1,000 and also earned a bonus spin (since December 1978) for a potential bonus cash prize. For the bonus spin, the contestant must get the wheel all the way around or the spin is void and they do not get another spin. If the wheel does go all the way around and it stops on a bonus space, the contestant wins a bonus cash prize. If it's either of the two green bonus spaces (5¢ and 15¢), the contestant wins a small bonus cash prize. If it's the red bonus space ($1,00), the contestant wins a large bonus cash prize. From December 1978 to the end of Season 36, the small bonus cash prize was $5,000 and the large bonus cash prize was $10,000. Since Season 37, the bonus cash prizes have increased to $10,000 for the small bonus cash prize and $25,000 for the large bonus cash prize.

The two Showdown winners in each show compete in the Showcase following the second Showdown. In the event of a tie, a spin-off is held in which each of the tied contestants is given one spin. The contestant with the highest value advances to the Showcase. If a contestant spins $1.00 in their spin-off spin, they still get $1,000 and a bonus spin. If the tie happens to be between multiple players who scored $1.00, each player's bonus spin also counts as their spin-off. This is disadvantageous for the contestants since two of the three prize-awarding spaces ($0.05 and $0.15) also happen to be two of the three worst tie-breaking spaces. Contestants who participate in bonus spin-offs and don't get the wheel all the way around are allowed to spin again but without the addition of any more bonus money. If the spin-off contestants tie in terms of the prize-awarding spaces, another spin-off is played but without any bonus money at stake.

While the wheel can be spun both upwards and downwards (as at least three contestants have tried to spin it "upwards"), only downward spins count.

NOTE: On its sister show Let's Make a Deal (Brady) it had a smaller replica of the Big Wheel from Price as part of "Mash-Up Week" on March 27, 2020.

The Showcases

The two qualifying contestants are shown a large prize package. The contestant with the larger total of cash and prizes (the "top winner") may either bid on that showcase or pass it to their opponent (the "runner-up"). A second prize package is then shown and whichever contestant has not yet bid must bid on that showcase. Unlike the One-Bid, one player may bid the same bid as the other, as they are each bidding on separate prize packages.

The contestant who bids closer to the combined "actual retail price" of the items in their showcase without going over wins that showcase. If both contestants bid higher than the actual price of their showcases, referred to as a "double overbid," they both lose. If the winning contestant bids within $250 of the price of his/her showcase, he/she wins both showcases. This rule was introduced in April 1974 for a winner whose bid was "less than $100" under the price; the threshold was raised to "$250 or less" starting with the Season 27 premiere in 1998.

If both contestants bid exactly right, they both win both showcases (which has yet to happen). The nighttime syndicated shows had no such rule.

In 60-minute episodes, the Showcase participants are the winners of the two Showcase Showdowns. In the 30-minute format, the top two winners from the pricing games automatically advanced to the Showcase. Some showcases will contain a "Priceless Bonus" prize; when that happens, the contestant bidding on the showcase will be reminded not to include that prize in their bid.

Do-It-Yourself

Used sometime between late 1974 and early 1975. The showcase had three categories of prizes, each with three prizes in it. The contestant randomly had to choose one prize from each category, and those prizes were then presented as the contestant's showcase. This wasn't used much, most likely because there were 27 combinations of showcases and they would have to get the prizes to the big doors quickly.

Special Shows/Weeks

Since Carey took over, special shows were produced honoring a theme (such as teachers, nurses, or the military). Some shows started featuring teams playing. Three particular weeks of shows have been done and we go into greater detail here.

Celebrity Week

For the first week of 2012, the week of February 18-22, 2013, and the week of February 20-24, 2017, The Price is Right held a special Celebrity Week in which five celebrities (one for each week) appear. Their job is to help the contestants win their pricing games and whatever the contestants win, the celebrities receive the value of the prize(s) for their favorite charities. Also, the celebrity of the day will spin the Big Wheel during the second Showcase Showdown and whatever the star landed on will have two zeroes added to it at the end and turned into dollars. And finally, the celebrity of the day will help present the two Showcases of that day.

Mash-Up Week

MashUp Week

Go For a Spin Friday, November 22, 2019 $500 (Won)

Primetime Specials

Beginning in 1986, The Price is Right had occasional prime-time specials, most having specific themes (anniversaries, colleges, spring break et al). All specials had increased budgets over the daytime shows, with potential earnings of over $100,000 at stake.

1986 Primetime Specials

The first specials were part of a six-week series running from August 14 to September 18, 1986, as a response to the popularity of The Cosby Show and Family Ties. Drastic changes were made to the set: the chase lights around the doors were covered up and colored spotlights were added, the light border in the intro was removed, Bob and Rod were in tuxedos and a spotlight was used in the opening, highlighting selected contestants and shining in front of Door 2 as Bob made his entrance. Certain game props and elements were altered as well, some permanently, others only for these specials.

25th Anniversary Special

The 25th anniversary special aired on August 23, 1996, and, despite being an hour-long, utilized the half-hour format as the rest of the show was devoted to the airing of various clips.

30th Anniversary Special

The Price is Right went on its only road trip for its 30th anniversary, airing January 31, 2002. The show went to the Harrah's Rio Casino in Las Vegas as its showgirls introduced Barker in the opening credits instead of the models. While the basic format remained intact, controversy arose as the show underestimated the number of people who rushed to get tickets. 5,000 applied, 900 tickets were sold, and, in the chaos, one person was injured.

The Price is Right Salutes

In the summer of 2002, as a response to 9/11, The Price is Right held a series of specials devoted to each branch of the Armed Forces and the firefighters and police. For these specials, announcing duties were shared by both Rod Roddy and Burton Richardson, as Rod was undergoing chemo at the time. Again, the overall format remained, but Plinko was played for $100,000, Grand Game for $20,000 and the Showcase Showdown awarded $100,000 for $1.00 in the bonus spin.

Bob Barker's Million Dollar Spectacular

The longest-lasting of the specials (2003-2007), The Price is Right underwent its biggest prime-time change in 2003, as they began to offer $1,000,000 with each Showcase Showdown for hitting $1.00 in the bonus spin. Other changes included increased prizes as always, and with Million Dollar Spectaculars in 2004, offered a $1,000,000 spin to either a showcase winner (if there wasn't one in the Showcase Showdown) or a randomly selected audience member for a Double Overbid; the latter happened on May 22, 2004. However, on February 14, 2006, the rules were changed so that if a Double Overbid occurred, whoever made the smaller overbid would spin for the money. In all these cases, only the dollar would win the money as the green sections were worth nothing extra.

A Celebration of Bob Barker's 50 Years in Television

Airing on May 17, 2007, this served as the unofficial 35th Anniversary Special, celebrating Bob Barker's retirement from The Price is Right and his 50th year in the television industry. As with the 25th Anniversary, despite being an hour-long, this show utilized the half-hour format, as the rest of the show was devoted to the airing of various clips, including the famous fight scene with Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore. Adam Sandler on the show's staff is not related to the actor in any way.

Drew Carey's Million Dollar Spectacular

When Carey took over, the way to a million changed dramatically. Now, one randomly selected pricing game was chosen as the "Million Dollar Game," with certain conditions needing to be achieved to win or getting within $1,000 (later $500) in the Showcase to win both and $1,000,000. Three millionaires were crowned. The Showcase Showdown bonuses would be multiplied by five (see below).

Ten episodes were ordered and aired during the Writers' Guild of America strike in 2008.

Million Dollar Games
  • One Away/Cover Up – Guess the price on the first try.
  • Safe Crackers – A car is in the safe. If that and the other prize is won, the player could risk both prizes by dialing in the exact price of the car. Unlike normal rules, the numbers may repeat, and/or some numbers may not be in the price at all.
  • Range Game – Played for a car. The player must not only guess the right price within the range but must also guess the exact price.
  • Plinko – If three chips are dropped in the $20,000 slot, a Golden Chip is then put into play; dropping that in the center slot wins the million.
  • 1/2 Off – If the $25,000 is won, the player could give it back to select one of the other boxes that have a check for the million inside it.
  • Punch-A-Bunch – Pick the top prize on the first punch.
  • Switcheroo – Win all five prizes on the first try.
  • Clock Game – Guess the prices of both prizes correctly in 10 seconds or less.

CBS Reality Show Crossovers

These specials aired for three consecutive nights on May 23-25, 2016 as it respectively centered around three-hit CBS reality shows: Survivor, Big Brother and The Amazing Race along with the appearances of their respective hosts: Jeff Probst (Survivor), Julie Chen (Big Brother) and Phil Keoghan (The Amazing Race) as their die-hard fans played alongside past participants from their respective shows. The contestants played for cash and prizes as usual, while their partners played for charity; each contestant's winnings were matched, totaled, and donated in cash to a charity (or charities) of the celebrity's choice(s). When contestants were eliminated in the Showcase Showdown, each show's respective elimination catchphrase was used.

The Price is Right at Night

6b8ad7df775ce1c2714715a787481404

These specials aired in primetime since December 22, 2019 where it mainly focused on a celebrity playing for their favorite charities or a Holiday-themed episode could also occur as well.

In celebration of the holiday season, these specials aired for two consecutive nights on December 22-23, 2019 as it respectively involved the cast of the hit military-themed drama-action series SEAL Team featuring David Boreanaz, Max Thieriot, Neil Brown Jr., A.J. Buckley, Toni Trucks, Justin Melnick and Dita the Dog playing for Headstrong Project which provides mental health treatments for posts 9/11 veterans and their families; and actor, comedian and stoner Seth Rogen playing for his charity called Hilarity For Charity (HFC) which was founded by him and his wife Laura Jill Rogen which it's dedicated to raising awareness, inspiring change and accelerating process in Alzheimer's care, research, and support. Just like in the Celebrity Weeks and the Reality Show Crossover Specials, regular contestants played for cash and prizes as usual. However, when a pricing game was won, the value of the prizes won is put into an accumulating bank equaling into a cash donation to their charity. In the second Showcase Showdown, the celebrity would take one spin at the Big Wheel, with the space hit multiplied by 100 and awarded in cash (anywhere from $500 to $10,000 in $500 increments).

On January 12, 2020 [1]; it has been announced that three more primetime specials of this version will air in Spring 2020, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the other two specials were never produced.

RuPaul Andre Charles) as the celebrity guest playing for Planned Parenthood where it provided much needed medical support to communities over 100 years.

This episode also sparked controversy on social media among the many die-hard Price fans due to the charity itself such as one Twitter[3]user saying "I remember former host Bob Barker always saying to get your pets spayed or neutered. Wonder what he would say about this" another user said "Goodbye to My Favorite Game Show" while some others do support the cause.

As a celebration of its 50th year on CBS; this aired on September 30, 2021. In this special, it ran the same way as the daytime version by having six pricing games played along with two Showcase Showdowns and the Showcase. Clips of classic moments from past episodes of both the Barker and Carey eras were played when going to commercial breaks.

Pricing Games

  • Plinko
  • Back to '72
  • Hole in One (or Two)
  • Grocery Game
  • Cliffhangers
  • Golden Road

NOTES:
There was a gold light border for this primetime special.
Back to '72 was the first (and last) new "limited" pricing game to be ever played in a primetime special.
Golden Road was the 6th (and last) pricing game to be ever played in history.
This was the first anniversary special hosted by Carey.
This was the first special to have never used the words "Anniversary Special" in its title unlike the ones from 1996 and 2002 respectively, along with being the first special to carry over its current daytime logo from season 50.
This was the second anniversary special to be taped at the famous Bob Barker Studio (a.k.a Studio 33), twenty-five years ago the first was for its 25th Anniversary Special in 1996 formerly hosted by Barker.
Wheel of Fortune hostess Vanna White has appeared in the special including a clip of her appearance from June 20, 1980. To make up an offer for her not making it up on stage during her first appearance 41 years ago she modeled the 6th one bid prize.

Syndicated Versions

Three syndicated versions of The Price Is Right have aired. The first two from 1972 and 1985 respectively followed the same format as the half-hour daytime version but were intended to air on most stations in the early evening and, as such, were referred to on-air as " The Nighttime Price is Right."

1972 Nighttime Version

A weekly syndicated version debuted the week after the daytime show continued to air until September 1980. It was distributed by Viacom Enterprises, which had just started as the syndication arm of CBS. When Mark Goodson devised the revival of Price for the 1972–1973 season, it was intended for a nighttime broadcast under new rules for early-primetime syndication and Goodson named Dennis James to host the show (when CBS commissioned a new daily daytime version, Goodson also wanted James to host the show, but CBS wanted Barker, who was hosting Truth or Consequences at the time, to take it). Goodson eventually got his wish to have James host a taping day (four half-hour episodes) of the daytime show in December 1974 when Barker fell ill and was unable to participate in the episode tapings.

The two versions were largely similar at the beginning, as both were called The New Price is Right. Some games had rule differences because of the larger budget and less commercial time on the nighttime show; for example, for three playings in its first season, Double Prices was played for two prizes instead of one. This version retained the 1972 half-hour format for its entire run and never adopted the daytime show's Double Showcase rule, the Showcase Showdown, or the perfect bid bonus.

As of Season 2, the word "New" was dropped from the show's name; thus it was titled The Price is Right (as the daytime show was by the time as well), often referred to on the air as The Nighttime Price is Right. In most of the United States, stations carried the syndicated Price as one of several weekly programs aired in one of the time-slots in the hour before prime time which were created by the 1971 FCC Prime Time Access Rule.

Although The Nighttime Price is Right originally had higher ratings, by 1975, they started to drop. After the fifth nighttime season in 1977, when the contract with NBC's owned and operated stations ended, James' contract was not renewed. CBS' owned and operated stations then picked the show up and the decision was made to hire Barker, whose Truth or Consequences was taped two years ahead and had stopped production in 1975. The series taped its 300th and final show on March 12, 1980, and was canceled after weekly syndicated game shows had fallen out of popularity in favor of daily offerings. With a run of eight seasons, it was one of the longest-running weekly syndicated game shows of the era and the longest-running regularly-scheduled prime-time version of Price (the 1957-1964 run was seven seasons).

1985 Nighttime Version

Five years later, veteran host Tom Kennedy hosted a new daily syndicated version, which also used the traditional half-hour format and was syndicated by The Television Program Source.

Like the previous syndicated series, this version had a slightly larger budget than its daily counterpart and no Showcase Showdown nor Double Showcase Rule. A perfect bid during the One-Bids originally won the contestant $100 as in the daytime show; this bonus would Later increase to $500 and be made permanent on the daytime show in 1998.

This version used the same models as the daytime show as well as Johnny Olson, who, as noted above, died during the season. Unlike the daytime series, which employed a series of guest announcers until a permanent replacement was decided upon, the syndicated series brought Gene Wood in to fill in for Olson. When the daytime series decided that Rod Roddy would the permanent replacement for Olson, he took over the syndicated series from Wood as well.

Like the previous nighttime show, this syndicated edition of Price was intended to be aired in the Prime Time Access slots on local stations. However, local stations found themselves bombarded with game shows and other series looking for spots on stations in an increasingly crowded market. This often resulted in shows like Price airing anywhere that they could fit into a station's programming lineup, such as in the early morning period or late-night slots. As a consequence, the show would not be able to find its intended audience and the rating reports would reflect this. Price was no exception, as many of the stations that brought the series placed it in these less desirable slots and the show could not find a foothold against the popular shows of the day, such as the runaway success of the syndicated Wheel of Fortune.

Compared to some of the other shows on the market during this period, Price was a modest success, but it did not meet the very high expectations stations and producers had for the series. As a result, the show was not renewed beyond its first season. A total of 170 episodes were produced and they aired in first-run from September 9, 1985, to May 30, 1986. During the six years it held the rights to Price, the Kennedy version was the only one of the three syndicated versions rerun by GSN.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: At the time, this version was going to be paired up with the revival of Match Game hosted by Gene Rayburn, but since Rayburn was committed to hosting Break the Bank (1985) at the time, plans for the revival fell through at the last minute and reruns of the 1979-82 daily series aired in its place instead.

1994 Nighttime Version

Rare, but cool, the spotlight returns from the '86 specials, but there's no price wall. Instead, we have a red curtain.

Meet host Doug Davidson, Paul Williams of Y & R.

A short-lived 80-episode syndicated version, referred to on-air as The New Price is Right (though this was never reflected in any logos), began airing in the fall of 1994. This version featured elements never before seen on any version of The Price Is Right, including, among other things, the removal of Contestant's Row and the replacement of the Turntable with a video wall.

Some pricing games on the 1994 New Price is Right were played with slight modifications to the rules as played on the daytime version. Games that usually featured grocery products were played with small prizes instead (e.g., Golden Road, Grand Game, and Hole in One) and some games featured other experimental rule changes.

  • Barker's Markers – The name was changed to "Make Your Mark" the single time it was played on this version of the show as Bob Barker was not the host of this version. This name was adopted on the daytime show in February 2008 after Drew Carey began hosting.
  • Clock Game – The game was digitized, with no prop on stage for it (meaning a digital clock like on most other game shows) and the contestant was provided with a $1,000 range in which to guess the price of each prize, as a result, the game frequently used prizes with four-digit prices. On some occasions, a third prize was awarded as a bonus for winning (a rule change which was adopted on the daytime version in 2009).
  • Hole in One (or Two) – Small prizes were used instead of grocery items. When an item was chosen, its price was immediately revealed and then placed in line if it was higher than the previous prize chosen. On the daytime version, the price flags are arranged in line according to the contestant's choice before the prices are revealed.
  • Magic # – This used a Double Prices style prop to hold the prices of the two prizes rather than the models hold them. The Magic Number set by the contestant playing was superimposed in between.
  • Plinko – While the top prize remained the same at $5,000 per chip for a potential total of $25,000, two configurations of slots were utilized (one of which featured replaced the outer $100 slots with two $2,500 slots). The method of earning chips was also changed from choosing the right number in the right position to a higher/lower pricing format with smaller prizes worth up to $400.
  • Punch-a-Bunch – During some playings, Davidson pulled the slip out of the hole as soon as it was punched. The player then decided to keep the money or punch another hole. On the daytime show, the slips are not revealed until the contestant has made all of his or her initial punches.
  • Safe Crackers – Instead of having the secondary prize (the one in which its price doubles as the safe's combination) inside the safe with the main prize, the secondary prize was outside the safe and talked about after the model locked the door.
  • Superball – Instead of waiting until guessing all three small prizes before rolling the balls, the player rolled after each correct guess.
  • 3 Strikes – The first number was lit at the beginning of the game and the number could repeat elsewhere in the price. Four chips representing the remaining numbers in the price were then placed into the bag with three strike chips. These rules were adopted on the daytime show in 2008, but the game's original rules returned in 2009. Also, the super-imposed "NO" sign for misplaced numbers was replaced with a red box that appeared around the space where the contestant thought the number he/she pulled out belonged in; it melted down the screen if the contestant was wrong.

Other Pricing Games

The Showcase Showdown was played with the traditional Big Wheel (in which the spinners were ordered from highest to lowest), but it mostly used a new format called "The Price WAS Right." This was played like the One-Bid games in the daytime version. The three players stand in front of a quasi-Contestant's Row, arranged either by least to most winnings or by the order they were called. A vintage commercial for a product was presented to the three contestants who were then asked to bid on what the product cost at the time the commercial first aired. The contestant with the closest bid without going over advanced to the Showcase. If all three contestants overbid (which rarely happened), the bids were erased and began again, with Davidson instructing contestants to bid lower than the lowest bid in the previous round. No bonus was awarded for a "Perfect Bid."

Our champion faces the Showcase Range Game.

The Showcase was also changed, With only one person playing the Showcase, the pricing game Range Game was modified for this round. A new prop was built with a $60,000 scale ($10,000 to $70,000). During the show's final commercial break, the winner of the Showcase Showdown chose a range at random between $4,000 and $10,000 (in $1,000 increments). A single showcase was then presented. Once it was finished, the rangefinder was started up the scale.

The contestant pulled a lever when they thought the showcase value was contained within the range. If correct, the contestant won the showcase, which was generally worth between $20,000-$60,000, comparatively higher than average showcase values on the daytime show (which, at the time, offered showcases usually worth between $10,000-$30,000). Although this Showcase format was unsuccessful in the United States, a modified version of this is used on versions of the show in other countries.

The theme song was re-orchestrated with a more modern "jazz" arrangement by Edd Kalehoff. This theme would later be adopted as the theme for several international versions of Price, most notably the United Kingdom's Bruce's Price Is Right (1995-2001). In addition, Kalehoff composed an entirely new music package for this version, comprised of 286 total cues. Some cues were also recycled from the daytime version for certain events. Certain cues from the Kalehoff package would eventually make their way into the daytime music package after this version's cancellation.

ADDITIONAL NOTE:

  • The set and some of the props were recycled for use on an unsold lottery-themed game show pilot called Cash Tornado, hosted by Jim Perry and announced by Gene Wood. The pilot, originally taped on July 18, 1993, also used a rearrangement of the 1994 Price's theme song, with the recognizable main melody removed. Lisa Stahl, one of the models from the Davidson version of Price, was a model in this pilot as well, and veteran Price producer Roger Dobkowitz appeared as a contestant playing a game called "Force Field".

Gameshow Marathon (2006 version)

The only real difference was that in the Showcase Showdown, the top two highest-scoring players get to proceed to the showcase since only three games were played.

Live Stage Shows

So far The Price is Right has expanded beyond television to live stage shows.

The Price is Right LIVE!

The Price Is Right LIVE! is a live-stage version that's held at Harrah's Entertainment casinos, as well as the Foxwoods Resort & Casinos in Connecticut and the nole Casinos Coconut Creek in Coconut Creek, Florida. The show also briefly ran at two Atlantic City Casinos in 2005, 2006 and 2011, and also ran at the Welk Resort in Branson, Missouri in 2012. (NOTE: They are all produced in association with FremantleMedia.)

While the basic format remains intact, several changes are made to accommodate location, as well as the significantly lower budget. The biggest overall change is that different contestants are selected for each game, including the wheel and Showcase (except at Bally's Las Vegas, where everyone is eligible). Guessing a One-Bid exactly earns a $100 prize, either cash or casino credits. The following games are played:

  • Any Number – Never played for a car; as such, there is no free digit.
  • Cliff Hangers
  • Hole in One - Never played for a car and there is no bonus for putting all six items in proper order.
  • Race Game
  • It's in the Bag – Played the same, with a top prize of $2,400 ($150/$300/$600/$1,200/$2,400).
  • Punch-a-Bunch – Played the same, with a top prize of (depending on the show) either $2,500 or $5,000.
  • Plinko – Played the same, with a top prize of $2,500 ($50-$100-$250-$0-$500-$0-$250-$100-$50).

NOTE: IITB & Plinko are never played in the same show, due to gambling laws that vary per state.

Big Wheel

Spinning a dollar wins $100 and a bonus spin for $500 (5 or 15) or $1,000 (100). The overall winner earns $250.

Showcase

The showcase has two formats. Originally, two players bid on a single showcase and whoever was closer won a random prize from it. Getting within 250 won everything. Later, the showcase became a version of Ten Chances, with four prizes offered instead of three, with the big prize being a car.

Trivia

Actor Dick Van Dyke, who would go on to star in the hit sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show from 1961-66, was offered the hosting position for the 1956 version. He declined, but, saying he didn't see any entertainment value in watching people guessing prices for a half-hour.

Before The Price is Right, Studio 33 (a.k.a. "The Bob Barker Studio") taped the formerly popular 1967-1978 CBS sketch comedy series The Carol Burnett Show.

This is the longest-running game show in America with the second version running for 50 years, with over 9,000 episodes and counting.

In the first three seasons of the Barker era, the show aired over 250 half-hour episodes. Starting November 3, 1975, during Season 4, when the show was extended to an hour-long format, it reduced to over 200 episodes each season. From the 1980s through Season 29 of the Barker era, the show archived almost 200 episodes each season. From Seasons 30 through 35 of the Barker era, the show aired 175 episodes each season. Starting Season 36, when Drew Carey took over as host, the show aired 190 episodes each season, with the exception of Season 48 which only had 164 episodes due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Many pricing games get won on the day it premiered. Other pricing games would get their first win after the 2nd playing, 3rd playing, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, etc. The only pricing game to get its first win after 31 playings was Pay The Rent in 2013.

The buzzer sound was very different from the 1970s and 1980s. The current one was introduced in the early 1990s and retained for over 20 years. If you want to know when it changed, watch some of The Price is Right episodes on YouTube starting with the earliest to the most recent. This buzzer was also used for wrong answers on the 1989 revival of Now You See It and Think Twice. It is doubled for bonus round losses on Wheel of Fortune.

The Price is Right became a BigJon PC Game. It had a tournament mode and a classic mode. The classic mode is where you play The Price is Right on exactly how it is played on TV. The tournament mode features a list of pricing games that can be unlocked by reaching a certain total.

Foreign personalities from international versions stopped by to the American show occasionally. For the 40th season, Larry Emdur, third host of the Australian version (who was also one of the past hosts of Australian Wheel of Fortune and currently one of the hosts for the Seven Network morning show) made a guest appearance.

On May 3, 2013, The Price Is Right had its first-ever special all-kids edition. Initially, it was scheduled to air on April 18, 2013, but it was held back due to the Boston Marathon Bombings.

The show used to air on Prime Network, TLN, GameTV, G4TV & Omni Television in Canada. Today, the show airs on Citytv.

On October 5, 2020 for season 49, because of the pandemic (a.k.a. Coronavirus/COVID-19) issues. It was announced[1] that the set has been redesigned with new podiums and for this time around there were no studio audience that were being called to "COME ON DOWN!" any longer. A preview of this set could be seen on primetime specials called The Price is Right at Night which aired on October 27, 2020 and November 2, 2020 respectively. The actual premiere of the 49th season of Price aired on November 16, 2020.

On January 7, 2021, it was announced that both Price and its sister show Let's Make a Deal have extended their breaks due to the ongoing[2] Coronavirus/COVID-19 spread.

On March 2, 2022, it was announced that Price was inducted into the NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame[1]where host Drew Carey & executive producer Evelyn Warfel would except the award at The Achievement in Broadcasting Award on the NAB Show main stage in Las Vegas on April 24 2022.
