I apologize for the first five seconds, had to run out very quickly on that day.

Well, the Volt certainly surprised everyone in the studio, and I guess it doesn't look like a Cadillac that made the last playing so exciting, but this turned out just as epic.

  • Do you know if they ever confirmed on air that George Gray was going to be the official anouncer?

  • @simpsonsfan89 They did that this past Monday, actually. Check it out on pir.com

  • How long have they been using that "NO" graphic? Because IIRC, the last 3 Strikes video you had they used the old-fashioned "NO" under the numbers.

  • @greenday61892 First time actually. It's good to see DiPirro trying new things, I think this works well.

    @carexpertandy Most people don't shop for electric cars, so I wasn't surprised this happened. A LFAT who knows 3X is a big-car game may have done a bit better. After all, the Volt is brand-new, and it isn't a classic "wow this is a big car" like a Caddy, Corvette, or Lincoln.

  • I want a Chevy Volt!

  • Awesome job!

  • @pdxist Those fancy graphics, believe it or not, are rendered in real-time during recording. They use the Chryron HyperX graphics system, which has produced live graphics for the Super Bowl.

  • It's an exciting moment! Great Job! WayoshiM!

  • These 5 numbers are the lucky ones, the other 3 Strikes win used the same numbers but different order.

  • Drew Carey really looks better when he slimmed down!

  • I like the new "No" graphic

  • Mike Richards wishes he played TTM for this car.

  • I wouldn't have said a Chevy Volt was as much as this one was, but I guess it's a 3 strikes level car. Of course if the game was That's Too Much or Stack the Deck, the car would not likely have been won :)

  • @TVLubber Well, they TRIED to give away a $112,000 Tesla Roadster -- which was the most expensive prize ever offered in TPIR history -- this time last year in Golden Road (renamed Green Road for Earth Day), but didn't.

    But the most expensive prize WON on TPIR was a $105,000 cabin cruiser (also in Golden Road) during a Million Dollar Spectacular in 2005.
