The Price is Right - April Fools opening (w/ reversed border animation)

[abernathyj77]

he shoud have said and now the host of the price is right bob baker

Bill Cullen was the orginal host.

Cullen was in the running to be the host of the 1972 revival of The Price Is Right, for CBS. However, the physical demands of the new format were considered too strenuous for Cullen.

'DANCING BEARS!' - very clever but creative! But it would be a good gimmick for a Halloween episode!

'VOWELS AND CONSONANTS GALORE!' - a clever reference to Wheel of Fortune at its finest.

'ASTONISHING MAGIC TRICKS!' - can be possible for a Showcase on any episode! Models becoming invisible thanks to modern technology would work.

From the Bill Cullen studio!

Funny! It must be Prizes Galore but it be Vowels and Consonants Galore! That was Wheel Of Fortune!

Nice border...and nice of them to honor Bill Cullen

[JonSea31]

@STOPobama1 Yes, it was a rare event to honor the late Bill Cullen on a current show! It is nice to honor Bill Cullen on a modern network show - I don't even remember the last time Bill Cullen was acknowledged since his death in 1990.

horribly stupid, what the hell is funny about lights moving the opposite direction

[tpirman1982]

@googlymoogly16 It was a joke. As if the border was malfunctioning.

Give me the dignity of Bob Barker anytime!!!

[johnissoevil]

To keep with the April Fool's theme, I would've announced Tom Kennedy, Dennis James, or Doug Davidson as the host.

[7D9s1L2]

Funny!

[tpirman1982]

Yeah, I thought it'd be funny if the border was going backwards.
