“The Price Is Right” - the longest-running game show in TV history - is celebrating its 50th season. This week, the show will feature a game each day where contestants can 'come on down' and win up to $1 million.
FILE - The Price is Right show host, comedian Drew Carey, left, appears with longtime former host Bob Barker at the CBS Studio Center in Los Angeles on March 25, 2009. Barker, who retired and passed the microphone off to Carey, appeared on the show to promote his autobiography, "Priceless Memories." The longest-running game show in television history is celebrating it’s 50th season.
“We’ve really been able to keep up with the trend of new prizes and what people want today. But it’s still the same game show — you still need to know the price of that laptop or that iPhone,” says Rachel Reynolds, a model from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who joined the show in 2003. Carey, who had been host of “Whose Line Is it Anyway?” and did some fill-in hosting in late night TV, was warned that “The Price Is Right” was more complicated than he anticipated. It requires keeping track of time, engaging with contestants and the camera, guiding everyone through the games and knowing what the contestants, models and crowd are doing at all times.
Since 1972, producers say over $300 million in cash and prizes has been given away. More than 2 million audience members have attended a taping over those years and 68,000 of them have become contestants. More than 8,400 cars have been given away.
