Yeah that was my take away as well. I love that Bob pretty much told her to do it too.

"You can be off by 5 and still win"

That's what I loved about Bob. He was always invested in helping them win.

what's wrong with his hands?

 

[Neverfade]

what's wrong with his hands?

They're 91 years old.

 

[jwk94]

It was a mistake continuing the show without Bill Cullen. The man is The Price is Right.

"the mos expensive soap you can buy"

How is that a selling point?!

They're 91 years old.

But I'm pretty sure I've seen 91 year olds who don't have almost black haands

She didnt realize she already won before even picking the last number.

That stage is seemingly tiny compared to what I remember.

And man, I too thought Bob Barker was dead lol.

It looked like she figured it out

Was soap a status symbol in 1960? ::shoulder shrug:: (haha)

The stage has always been "tiny". They roll things in and out in between breaks. They have entire crew dedicated to doing all of the hard work.

You can see tours of the stage online.

Is he still telling us to cut our dog's balls off?

No, this is about Bob Barker, not Richard Dawson.

And a new E3 gif was born on this day. It's beautiful

Use the other ones in this thread. They're much better.

 

[Plinko]

That is outstanding.

Whenever Plinko made it onto the show, that was a great day.

I've never been on

 

[-Gozer-]

Great to see Bob hosting again even for a short amount of time.

Should have used an old set, old cameras and gave away prizes from the '70s for extra effect.

Yup. That would've been fantastic to see.

I saw this recently Happy Gilmore and Bob Barker going at it again in a hospital.

That was quite a surprise. Lady killed it at one of the tougher games on the show too.

Yeah TV Shows set always appear much bigger on tv than the reality.


Also I really suggest people watch this amazing behind the scene episode they did last year.

[DopeToast]

He seems fantastic for 91. When he first walked out all slow I was kind of sad, but once he got the mic and started talking it was great. Hasn't missed a beat.

 

[inm8num2]

Good to see Bob Barker again - plenty of memories watching him as the host. A genuinely enjoyable, pleasing April Fool's joke.

The gif of that one guy going nuts will get some nice mileage on here methinks.

Yeah I did Price is Right in the early 2000s and I was amazed how small and cheap the set was in real life. They pointed a camera at a green screen that had light bulbs around it for the intro shot. Bob took questions during breaks from the audience and had canned jokes for everything because people ask him the same stuff about Happy Gilmore and things. Everyone in that audience has gotten no sleep because you gotta get in line the previous day.

 

[IceCold]

Damn what a legend. I can only hope to be as healthy/fit as him if I reach his age. Amazing.

What's this Drew Carey smack talk in here? Drew is awesome!

 

[SCHUEY F1]

That was great.

Man, I missed Bob hosting this show.

$2320 for an LG Flex?

 

[manzoman96]

Between this and the deadpool video this has been one of the best April fools in years.

This gif is destined for great things.

 

[inm8num2]

This would have been more awesome if Bob busted out the putter and showed us he's still got it.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Bob just had to give away one more vehicle.

 

[mightynine]

That led me to another Plinko video, which I think had some prime E3 gifs:

[big_z]

Are they saying "Drewwwwww" or "Booooooooo" at the end there?

you can go either way. I thought it was booing at first as well but I cant imagine people still watching the show or attending after 7 years if they are drew haters.

 

[faridmon]

WTF?

Why am I watching a show with people diagnosed with ADHD?

 

[Shaanyboi]

Saving this for E3

Not from America?

Contestants have been super hyper on The Price is Right for over 40 years!

I just watched that video from 1983(?) and there weren't much screaming/shrieking/whatever loud noises was happening back then. Also, that lady was had way more energy than my 6 year old niece and her ADHD level is through the rof.

I am not from America, yes, but I though, ever game show had the same ''feel'' to it everywhere.

 

[TheSeks]

He looks like he's had a lot of plastic surgery over the years. The woman that won the car, you can see the briefest pause before she goes in for the hug, afraid that she might snap him. He looks so frail. :/

That's my major concern on seeing the clip. Him coming out and I'm thinking "damn, he's old. Is he going to be alright on stage?"

The show actually gained popularity throughout the years. The contestants now are more than likely people who grew up watching the show, and it's been their dream to be on it in some fashion. Straight up, I would probably be yelling too if I had the chance to be in the audience, let alone a contestant, on the Price is Right.

 

[MrCunningham]

This .gif is going to be getting a lot of use here.

This too.

Bob Barker really is in the greatest of all time tier.

 

[Dreavus]

Wow, he fell right back into it! So good.

 

[immortal-joe]

Absolute class right here. Walks in at 91, with years of retirement behind him, and runs the room within seconds.

 

[Kozak]

I like how to woman was wincing when they were about to reveal the last number hahah

 

[StopMakingSense]

That's my major concern on seeing the clip. Him coming out and I'm thinking "damn, he's old. Is he going to be alright on stage?"

Bah, he looks pretty great for a 91 year old.

 

[Link]

Also, that lady was had way more energy than my 6 year old niece and her ADHD level is through the rof..

I mean, her prize was a new car and she got blindsided by Bob Barker.

That's my major concern on seeing the clip. Him coming out and I'm thinking "damn, he's old. Is he going to be alright on stage?"

Well, he is 91. Are we expecting him to sprint out and run around the stage? He looked perfectly fine, considering.

 

[Bgamer90]

I just watched that video from 1983(?) and there weren't much screaming/shrieking/whatever loud noises was happening back then.

The contestants on The Price Is Right have been wilder over the years due to viewers getting more familiar with the type of prizes the show gives away. The show has been known for having contestants with a high amount of energy since the 1970s though.

Short clips from the show over the years:

1975

1985

1994

2005

Nope. Simply depends on the game itself. The Price is Right is more wild/crazy while a (trivia) game show like Jeopardy! is more laid back.

 

[MrCunningham]

Bah, he looks pretty great for a 91 year old.

I agree. What can you expect from a 91 year old man? He looked like he was having a good time hosting the show and the audience and contestants were all losing their shit. Great stuff.
