Johnny Olsen, Gene Wood & Rod Roddy 3 great announcers who will never be forgotten.
I think Gene Wood did a good job on TPIR

Gene did a great job, but it honestly sounds like you are watching a whole different show when he announced it. Rod Roddy had almost the same kind of timbre as Johnny did, which made him a logical successor (I hesitate to say "replacement" since nobody could really replace Johnny).
But it sure was great that Gene & others substituted until they could find a permanent announcer. I would bet since they were doing it for one of their own, they took no money for the job.

Gene Wood worked with Daytime Host Bob Barker on TattleTales and with Nighttime Host Tom Kennedy on Body Language

@ericandy88 I guess Gene Wood filled in for the late Johnny O. after Family Feud w/Richard Dawson left abc, plus, Gene Wood was not only interim announcer for the CBS Version of TPIR, but also, the syndicated version with Tom Kennedy

@DENo1MatchGameFan AMEN, people can be so crazy these days
-
@cartoongameshowfan76 Rich Fields was pretty good too.

@ericandy88 Yeah, I would have loved Gene to take over for John but I do agree that Rod was a great successor. Everyone has to succeed someone but they will never replace them. At least for a time, we got to hear the other popular Goodson-Todman announcer on The Price Is Right.

@jhecht424 Thank you... I realized that after I wrote what I said. Boneheaded oversight on my part!
-
@Amar7605 Ummm, that would be pretty difficult, considering it was JANICE PENNINGTON who handed Bob the mic.
-
1:02 Dian Parkinson to Bob Barker: That was great!
She must have been referring to the before-show sex that they had.
