Tom Kennedy's Nighttime Price is Right: Grand Game

[dhaddox]

The sad part is that stuff would cost three times as much today.

[jprogman]

I never seen "yoghurt" spelled like that before.

[orlandorays]

Gene Wood announcing FTW

[talladegajunkie1439]

Gene Wood did that "A chance to win up to $10,000, In Cash!" line the best.

[2michaelwilson]

does anybody know why bob barker didnt host this version.

[AdamNedeff]

He felt it was overexposure. I read an interview with him once where he said (and I'm paraphrasing this) five hourlong daytime episodes was enough, one extra episode in primetime every week might have been nice, but five hourlong episodes and five 30-minute episodes every week was just overkill. Presumably, he didn't want to be attached to a version that he fully expected to fail.

@AdamNedeff

You know in a way, it may have been better off that Barker didn't do the nighttime run anyway, as it might have caused some confusion from viewers who maybe couldn't catch the show during the day, and would think it was being replayed at night if they saw Barker. Having Kennedy hosting was an easy way to separate them. Course then again......Feud never seemed to have the problem much when it had two runs going on concurrently, so what do I know? lol

Just a thought though.

[PGOLDEN88]

There was also a syndicated version during 1994.

[talladegajunkie1439]

@PGOLDEN88 , dont remind us.

[imachildofthe80s8089]

I remember prime time TPIR but for some reason I thought Barker hosted the primetime one too. Could you please tell me what yearsthe primetime version rean? I believe it may have been somewhere between the mid to late 80's.

[AdamNedeff]

This version ran 1985-86. Bob DID host a weekly primetime version from 1976-80, and he hosted a series of six primetime episodes for CBS in 1986. Either one could be what you're remembering.

[domirules28]

i've always liked gene's announcing, but rod was just plain amazing in this role...

[Nickle98499]

Gene Wood doing the announcing, nice!

[gpciie]

Youghurt?

[WhiteHatBobby]

Did either Narz brother use wireless on any show in their career?

Or is it just Doug and Drew?

[natemarroquin]

The regular win bell and siren reminded of a "Card Sharks" car win with Bob Eubanks and Bill Rafferty.

[NDW85]

Enter the regular win bell and the siren.

[jhecht424]

Gotta love a Grand Game win. She made it look easy.

[knicksfan89]

again gene wood announcing

[gameshowguy2000]

Speaking of that price tag, that carried over to the daytime version, but for a while.

[jhecht424]

That was the best design of all the pricetags.

[gameshowguy2000]

And don't we wish they could've kept it.

[jhecht424]

Oh yeah. Even as a kid when I watched nighttime TPIR, I thought how perfect that background was for an evening show.

[domirules28]

i agree, this was the first one i remember and the most vivid of the designs over the years....

[matchgame79]

It wasn't too hard to figure out what this game was since it is taller than the price tag. LOL

I also like the "YOGHURT."

[WillWatchAnything]

YIKES!! I'm suprised nobody caught that lol

[matchgame79]

It said youghurt on the container which, I guess, is an old-fashioned or England-English way of spelling it. Whichever way it is suppose to be spelled, it's still wrong. LOL I'm thinking it must have been Roger's day off.

[laspalmasdesign]

supposed to not suppose to
