This coming Sunday, September 4th 2022, will mark exactly half a century since "The Joker's Wild" "The New Price Is Right" and "Gambit" all debuted on CBS Daytime.
OOOOOOOOOO it is so hard for me to fathom as I remember watching these first episodes FIFTY YEARS ago! It was two days before my first day of Kindergarten.
All three programs and their original hosts (Jack Barry, Bob Barker and especially Wink Martindale) will always hold an extra special place near and dear to my heart.
Just an extraordinary run for Price is Right hitting the half century mark! In his wildest dreams I can't imagine Mark Goodson ever thinking that the "new" Price would outlive him, especially by decades!
Happy 50th birthday to these programs. Thanks for all the memories!

That’s 50 years of luscious history between these 3 shows. However, sadly only one had gotten lucky enough to have a full 50 year history.
Hopefully they’ll bring back Gambit and Joker’s to TV, and hoping for Price to get another 50 years, or even more at that!
Imagine one of us hosting one of those shows one day…

You have youth on your side It would have been a dream come true for me to actually emcee a national program, especially Price, or Gambit, Joker, or several others.
