  • was the microphone Gene is using the same one Bob used on price is right?

  • 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"

  • 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."

  • @startrekkin58 Thank God (the part about Studio 33 not being named The Bob Barker Studio at the time anyway!)

  • Get a womb!

  • Happy 87th Birthday Bob Barker!!

  • @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.

  • @HollywoodDerekPoop bob barker's not dead yet hes 84 and going

  • 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.

  • Did Bob just say he felt like an ass?

  • 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.

  • wow, he made the black man wait for commercial
