In light of the news that broke this afternoon regarding Bob's passing, we will be doing a special episode of The Price Is Right in his honor. I will need at least six players, but nine is preferable. Sign up if interested, and feel free to also share any memories of Bob in the sign up post

As a host of Price, I rarely play. I'll talk a swing at it

As one who is old enough to have remembered watching the first episode in 1972 with Bob, and also remember seeing him on Truth or Consequences, count me in too.

I'm definitely in. My mother watched him from day 1 on TorC back in 1956 and I too remember watching "The New Price is Right" before I even started kindergarten. He was the cream of the crop for sure and he'll be missed.

He was the cream of the crop for sure and he'll be missed. I see I have at long last a fellow "elder statesman" among the NetGameCentral family. It's nice knowing someone else out there remembers the same Presidents that I do! |

I was informed in DMs that there were ten sign ups, which means that one person on the list won't get picked. Nonetheless, all deadlines are 48 hours and away we go.
(1980s CBS Special Presentation logo; cold open with me in my dressing room)
You see this picture I'm holding? That is a picture of the great Bob Barker, who we have just lost. And although Bob's time with us may be over, the memories we all have of him are priceless. Now, sit back and enjoy this special show.
(2000s MDS First Four cue)
George: Tonight, CBS celebrates the life of the greatest emcee to ever live, Bob Barker, on this special edition of Price Is Right at night!
Immanuel Tims, come on down!
Kevin Kolsen, come on down!
Jack Thompson, come on down!
Bill McDee, come on down!
You are the first four contestants as we pay tribute to Bob here on The Price Is Right! (1972 main theme) And now, here's your host for this special hour, the star of The Price Is Right, Mark Liotta! (I come out from door number two to a tremendous applause. Rachel hands me the microphone. I bow)
Me: Welcome to The Price Is Right, saluting the legend himself, Bob Barker! (audience continues cheering) Thank you very much. (Theme fades out) Now, I know I'm not Bob, but I think he would be proud of me for filling his shoes for one night. I'm sure he would be very happy, and I'm very happy that a lot of us were able to make priceless memories watching him for all those years. And I'm also happy to announce that this is the first item up for bids tonight!
George: How about a new Xbox! Microsoft's Xbox Series X is a perfect fit for the hard-core gamer. Comes with a one terabyte hard drive, two controllers and a selection of 20 popular games including Madden 24.
Me: Of course, that will go to whoever bids closest to the actual retail price without going over. Immanuel, the first bid of the night is yours so make it a good one.
Bidding order: Immanuel, Kevin, Jack, Bill

$751. (ding) The actual retail price of the Xbox package is $2,530 and the first winner is Kevin! (Come on Down cue) Kevin, come on up here with me please. (Kevin follows me to the doors) Welcome aboard, Kevin. Now, everyone that comes here to price is Right hopes to win something nice, whether it be some cash, a luxury trip, or even a new car. Well Kevin, we have something really nice for you because in the game that you're about to play, we have not one, not two, but three cars! Open up the doors and show him what we have!
(Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour theme)
George: In door number one, a Chevy Trailblazer! In door number two, a Chevy Malibu! And in door number three, a new Mazda! First, the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer 1LT comes with standard features plus 1.2 liter engine, continuous variable transmission and four wheel drive. Second, the 2023 Chevy Malibu RS comes with 1.5 liter engine, continuous variable transmission, four wheel drive, cargo net, cargo mat, all weather floor mats and a new car care kit. Finally, the 2023 Snowflake White Pearl Mazda CX-30 Premium comes with 2.5 liter engine, six speed automatic transmission, all wheel drive, wheel locks, RBP, cargo tray, net and cover. There they are, Mark!
(MGHSH theme fades out)
Me: All three of those cars can be yours if you successfully complete a triple play. You know how in baseball, you get a triple play by turning three outs at once. For this triple play, you have to win all three cars in one shot. And we start with the Chevy Trailblazer. Take a look at these two price tags.
$24,980
$27,350
All you have to do is tell me which one of these is closest to the actual retail price without going over.

He says $24,980. Do we find a YES to start off? (I remove the tag and find a YES. ding ding) We do. Actual retail price: $25,195. Now let's go to the Chevy Malibu. (I take Kevin to door number two) And Kevin, for your consideration, here are three price choices.
$25,160
$27,320
$29,681
Which of those three do you believe is closest to the actual retail price without going over?

He says $29,681. Does he get to continue? (I remove the tag and find a NO) No he doesn't. (Buzzer; losing horns) The actual retail price: $27,489. (1972 main theme) Kevin, that's the end of the line for you for right now, but you'll be back later to spin the wheel. We'll be back in a moment with another contestant after this. (Fade to commercial)

(Back to the studio)
Me: Welcome back to The Price is Right At Night. George, who's our next contestant?
George: Bryan Law, come on down! (regular COD cue) You're the next contestant on The Price Is Right!
Me: Hello there, Bryan. I welcome you aboard. (Cue fades out) Now, let's see the next item up for bids please.
George: How about a new backyard. Always fun for the family, this Lloyd Flanders backyard has 4 chairs, a round table, pizza oven with 2 pizza stones, peel, infrared thermometer and burner.
Me: Bryan, I await your bid on that backyard.
Bidding order: Bryan, Jack, Bill, Immanuel
