Bob said that he had to maintain a certain image when hosting Price. He said that he liked being a guest panelist on MG because he could show a different - and at times naughtier - side of himself.
I don't know how Bob Barker got away with cursing when he was on Match Game. He said "ass" in this episode and "shit" in another episode. I guess he has always been a foul-mouth off camera.
1:05 when i first saw this woman her chest looks hairy it was startling but its just the quality of the picture or something like that. man, that was scary
Actually it is the same microphone; Gene just extended his while Bob kept it at the shortest setting.
Eventually Gene's was converted into a solid tube rather than the telescoping sections because it kept breaking from him playing with it so much, and Bob's original mic crapped out sometime in the early 90s. CBS replaced it with a custom-made deal that looked pretty much the same except painted black.
The Sony ECM-51 wasn't made especially for Gene. That model and similar microphones were common in the 70's...especially for game show hosts which often needed to manipulate the mic between themselves and un-mic'd contestants. I believe Bob used an ECM-51 on the early days of TPIR, he just usually didn't have it fully extended as Gene usually did on Match Game.
@startrekkin58 Both Bob and Gene used a ECM-51. However, Bob always kept his mic the shortest length while Gene extended his mic to the longest. By 1978, they cutomized an ECM-51 just for Gene: a chrome plated one with no telescopic features, a gem that even Bob Barker didn't have.
Yes, it was in the same studio. Bob mentions this in another episode, I think around 1975. Of course, at this time, it wasn't yet "The Bob Barker Studio."
Do you all just enjoy watching Gene & Bob pick on one another . It did looked as if Bob did have a lot of hairspray on ,and Gene really wanted to mess it up as we saw what Fannie did next . LOL !

was the microphone Gene is using the same one Bob used on price is right?
gsparkway324 4 years ago
As far as I know, no. Gene's telescopic microphone was supposedly made especially for him. I believe it is a Sony ECM-51 microphone.

Now, did they film "Match Game" in the same studio at CBS Television City? I thought it was also in Studio 33 -- a.k.a. "The Bob Barker studio"
