  • 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.

  • @ericandy88 I like that Gene Wood & Bob Hilton Announcer on The Price Is Right
