@Noveltooner Great insight, you make very good points. I know Drew has always worn glasses, but they are somewhat reminiscent of Bill Cullen's thick-rimmed glasses. Never picked up on the "here's the star of" vs. "here is your host" difference until you mentioned it.
It should be noted that long before Bill Cullen's "Child's Play" preceeded Bob Barker's "The Price is Right" on CBS daytime, Bill Cullen's "The Price is Right" preceeded Bob Barker's "Truth or Consequences" on NBC daytime.
@THIRT33THR33 Drew has made it no secret that he's always been a huge Bill Cullen fan. Note that his intro has reverted to "and here is your host..." as opposed to "here's the Star of...", the latter of which Bill never liked. He always felt that the contestants were the real stars, not the host, and Drew has brought back a number of old TPIR things, such as the special themed shows. Many things Drew does today were hallmarks of the old show, a great combination of new and old.
Kudos to everyone who made a referrence to Bill Cullen being the host of the original "The Price is Right". I was going to do the same but you all get credit first! This instance would be repeated in a way many years later when Bob appeared on Drew Carey's "The Price is Right". Awesome to see legends on screen to say the least =)
In my opinion, Studio 33 should have been named after Bill Cullen. The April Fools episode of 2009 acknowledged Bill Cullen in the opening. But the reason Studio 33 should have been named the Bill Cullen studio because he was the first host of TPIR, hosted 23 game shows, never had a lawsuit, and was the most respected game show host ever. But at least the name Bill Cullen lives on.
The original version of The Price Is Right was first transmitted on the NBC, and later ABC, television networks in the United States from 1956 to 1965. Hosted by Bill Cullen

I'm guessing this is in October 1982.
