The Price is Right - Flippity Fleischmen's Radio Giveaway

Special thanks to the anonymous donor who provided this clip to me and granted permission to upload it.

Here's a sensational premise for a Showcase, although you can understand why it wasn't done often. Johnny Olson is the DJ offering a chance at some great prizes as he plays top 40 hits. Every time a prize is mentioned in a song, that prize will be added to the Showcase!

Just watched this again, and Johnny's awesome in a Showcase that screams "Wolpert".

This seems to be the Studio Master (the quality is very fluid). Considering this, and the fact that this upload appears to coincide with the release of "Johnny Olson: A Voice In Time"...

The donator of this clip is, possibly, one Randy West. That's just a theory, but regardless of whether I'm right I don't suggest sending him a bunch of pointless emails.

Besides, his announcing is very good and Olson-esque.

It's not Randy, either. (Although you were correct in guessing why I chose to upload it when I did; I figured any game show geek who bought the book would want to look for Johnny on YouTube.)

Also.. 0:23 through 0:26 of this vid was featured in an Olson clip montage on TPIR's 25th anniversary special.

The first three song played in this groovy showcase (best based to me on my oldies station WCBS-FM 101.1 in New York and its famous DJs, notably "Cousin Brucie" Morrow) were:

Paul Simon - Kodachrome (1973)

Judy Collins - Both Sides Now (1969)

and

The Bee Gees - Nights on Broadway (1975)

[tyrese3745]

This might've been from either the 1977-78 or 1978-79 seasons.

@fanofangela89returns 0:57 Spongebob: Cheer up. Here's that Nycon Camera you asked for.

Johnny: 1:01 Did you hear that? Yeah Paul Simon was indeed talking and singing about A GENUINE NYCON CAMERA.

Cool showcase. :3

Showcases are never this long anymore, at most they're only about 45 seconds to one minute and never have any sort of sketch to go with them =/

[glamslamcam]

Great clip! I wanna know who won the showcase.

[johnnyafairbanks]

Right, because the winnings limit for CBS game shows at the time was $25,000 (later $50,000 in the '80s before they abolished it).
