Farewell and Welcome...

by adam_sandler, Tuesday, June 14, 2011

Farewell and Welcome...

As you may know, we recently said goodbye to our Director, Rich DiPirro.

During his nearly 2 ½ years with the show, Rich brought not only his immense talents as a Director, but also a fresh enthusiasm to the show that incorporated many retro elements that he refined to a 21st century look; plus a technical expertise and an eye for the aesthetic - the combination of which the show never had before.

So now we welcome Michael Dimich to the Director’s chair. Michael brings with him a wealth of experience and an incredible resume that spans many, many genres of television including  "Politically Incorrect," "MadTV," "The Wayne Brady Show," and "Ellen" - just to name a few...oh, and did we mention he's an Emmy award winner too?

We are thrilled to have him on board, and you can look forward to seeing his first shows on the air beginning this week, and then of course, when Season 40 starts up in mid-September.

Producer Adam Sandler Talks About "Priceless Giveaways"

by adam_sandler, Wednesday, October 20, 2010

You may have noticed toward the end of last season we had a few items up on the site we called "Priceless Giveaways"...last season it was an MLB All-Star baseball hat, an autographed Lonestar CD, and an autographed tote bag from 'The Bold and the Beautiful.'

We got such a great response from you guys that we've got even more coming this season! Hopefully you entered for your chance to win an autographed hat from Paula Creamer that was available last week, and this week it's a subscription to Sailing Magazine - and there's a lot more to come!

We think that in addition to being the one-stop-shop for everything that is "The Price is Right," priceisright.com should also be about winning prizes...our goal is that every time we give something away to the audience, we can give everyone watching at home a chance to win one too - just because you couldn't be here with us that day doesn't mean you have to miss out!

So keep watching - you never know where a "Priceless Giveaway" is going to crop up during the show, and keep checking the site - there may even be some giveaways that we don't mention on-the-air!!

Good luck!
-Adam

Kathy Greco Makes a Difficult Decision

by kathy_greco, Friday, October 08, 2010
Kathy Greco

Yes, it's true. I've decided to leave "Price."

I love "The Price Is Right," and not only feel that I am leaving the show in a good place, but I am leaving it in very good hands. We have made many changes over the past few years, but the soul of the show remains intact. We have a fun host, the same great games that we’ve always had, and have added some fun new ones, and that will always continue.  I think the prizes are better than ever, and our staff will continue to find cutting edge electronics, the latest in fashion, and unique and desirable trips for you to take.

In fact, I am looking forward to taking some of those great trips I've been drooling over for so long. I'm excited to spend time with my husband, my family and my friends, and looking forward to finding out what's around the corner for me.

I told Mike I would be happy to come back for a day or two (maybe even a week) here and there if they needed help, but this staff is so good that I know everything will run smoothly. (There's always a little part of you that hopes you're needed!)

I am very appreciative to Mike, the show, and Fremantle for their support. I just celebrated my 35th anniversary on "Price," and I truly consider everyone here my "other family." That is why is was such a difficult decision to make, but I know it is the right one.

Thanks for your good wishes and I’ll be talking to you soon.

-Kathy

George Has Something to Say!

by website_editor, Friday, April 15, 2011
TPIR Announcer George Gray!

Wow! What can I say? Except that I'm really excited and honored to be chosen as the new permanent announcer of "The Price Is Right!" In the last 39 years, there have only been three other full-time announcers, so I know that this was a really big decision for "The Price Is Right" family. As my dad always liked to say..."No pressure!" Speaking of my family, my mother has officially announced that she will be watching "The Price Is Right" 24-hours a day, taking only short restroom breaks.

So all my friends know that I'm a big fan of anything retro. I love vintage cars and motorcycles, and my house looks like a fun, kitchy museum that the guys in the "Rat Pack" would be proud of. I've always been fascinated by the history of television, so it really means something special to be part of the history of famous Stage 33 at CBS Television City - also known as the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood!

I now get to stand on the stage that Ed Sullivan, Red Skelton, and Elvis Presley once used, and of course, where the Carol Burnett Show (which I watched reruns of everyday as a kid) shot all of the famous sketches that caused me to go around 5th grade telling bad jokes, and made me want to grow up and be a comedian.

So now I get to stand where Johnny Olsen, Rod Roddy, and Rich Fields each uttered the famous lines "Come on Down!" and (my favorite) "A New Car!" in their own unique way. Now it's my turn to make people scream, laugh, and hug anyone within arms reach by saying their name on "The Price is Right!" How cool is that?!

Thanks again to "The Price Is Right" family for choosing lil' ol' me to be the one that gets to say "Come On Down!" to all the lucky contestants. See you on TV!

-George Gray
