April Fool's Showcase - Salute to Dr. John Barrett Clapinger

[nedepip1]

Their April Fool's showcases were the best...Looked forward to them every year!

[DeeandEd]

lOL they did the same thing in 2008. (they gave the player a fake showcase and the real showcase was a super nice car)

[gladfan1989]

Sorry, but Id rather have Anitra rub something else on ym body. And it isn't her athlete's foot, either.

[justinlovespastry]

She looks so 80s lol I love her expression

[kambreesuncle2]

WOW!!!! TPIR at its best!!!

[gleepythehen]

Hmmm... production staffer Roger Dobkowitz as Dr Clapinger.

[BeebeCh1972]

Funny, but wait'll you see the REAL prize at the end, a new car! Wonder if anyone won it?

[clinch44]

i would have bid 2 cent

[BeebeCh1972]

Well, I'd have bid 1 cent!

[LJascony]

2 cents on the trip to Flushing, NY. The rest they would have to pay me to take it.

[clinch44]

lol

[ssquared18]

this is the most funniest video of the price is right i have ever seen

and also if you listen very closely you can here the woman in the black outfit (the real miss clapinger) call his mistress a hussy

this is classic

[WarioBarker88]

Great vid, but one question - what does that text at the very end refer to? It assembles enough that I can tell the airdate as being April 1, 1977 so the only thing that makes sense is a 1977 April Fools Showcase. Would you have any idea what that one was?

[deric8]

At 4:12, Johnny Olsen is describing a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado. So it has to be 76, besides Holly would have been in the showcase instead of Anitra.

[WarioBarker88]

@deric8 That's not what I was referring to. Look at the VERY end of the video -- there's another title card assembling, and it does so enough where "April 1, 1977" is very clear.

[MINESWEEP2k]

Now that was hilarious. These April Fool's Day showcases are great! Jean looks almost like she knows it's a joke, but still, she looks like: "What the HELL is going on here?!"

[animegal2686]

I agree, I also like that she just laughs it off even though it was a joke.

[animegal2686]

Can you possibly clear something up for me Adam? I read the description for this video and I a tad confused, is it Roger diguised as the title character in this video or what? Thank you :)

[AdamNedeff]

Yes, that's Roger playing Dr. Clapinger.

[animegal2686]

Thank you Adam :) Thank you for clearing that up.

[mitmfan]

Who is playing the two Mrs. Clapingers?

[tyrese3745]

One of them, I assume, is Barbara Hunter, the former co-producer.

[mitmfan]

Why would you assume that?

[tyrese3745]

A hunch.

[animegal2686]

I wonder if anyone ever got offended with these AF showcases?

[dmota104]

Any idea on who played the two Mrs. Clapingers?

[Ivoryface]

Has GSN ever aired this showcase or did this episode have a fur coat offered in this episode? I just wanted to know Adam.

[AdamNedeff]

Don't know.

[soulierinvestments]

Look at that Cadillac El Dorado! They could use it today as a tank on the sandy wastes of Iraq. 3 gallons to the mile at least in the days of 60 cent a gallon gas. Speechless.

[tvpirate05]

Nowadays, that sucker probably takes just as much as an SUV to fill up.

Great showcase..."The Price is Right" needs to go back to ones like this. And it's a shame they decided to get rid of Roger.

[Hiei2k7]

Hey, it's better mileage than today's SUVs.

A TRUE AMERICAN GUNBOAT! DETROIT'S FINEST!

I'd drive one through $10/gallon fuel!

[wpghi5]

Did she win or did her opponent win?

[AdamNedeff]

I don't know. My copy cuts off exactly where this clip ends.

[mobilene]

That was totally wicked!!!!

[mateo096]

FremantleMedia made a BIG mistake when they fired Roger.

[Julius121081]

WHAT! they let him go. When did this happen?

[mateo096]

They fired him yesterday.

[soulierinvestments]

Is FreeMantle out of its big collective mind? Does somebody in Freemantle have a son in law that needs a job in TV?
