Bob Barker Shows Off Picture of a Young Johnny Olson - The Price Is Right 1985

[@DorvellTStewart]

Gotta love the legendary Johnny Olsen! I was born four years after he died but thanks to GSN (back when it was actually worth watching,) KZbin and Buzzr, I get to hear and enjoy just how great and announcer he was! Seriously, the man could've announced The approach of an EF five tornado and rather than taking cover, it would result in a standing ovation! Is it just my ears, or does it seem like the strength and energy in his voice steadily declined between 1981/82 and 1985? I know he died from a stroke in October 1985 but… I don't know… Obviously he never completely lost his voice, but it did sound like it slowly declined over the last few years before his death.

[@TPIR_Fan_1972]

The banter between Bob and Johnny is one of the things that made this show so great. I was 13 when Johnny died and I remember wondering "How can Price is Right go on without him?" I thought he was that important to the show.

[@kayandaeddings4803]

I was 6 1/2 years of age when he passed. I have to share your sentiments. It’s always cool to hear them bantering back-and-forth. Well, they are reunited now along with other Goodson Todman host and announcers.

That picture of Johnny Olson is the best prize/freeze frame I've seen recently on TPIR: The Barker Era.

[@jamie514]

I'm so glad they got to do this to Olson while he was still in top form as the legendary announcer of TPIR '72.

[@Drchainsaw77]

They didn't have much time, if this was 1985 he was gone by October.

[@James-xo6te]

OMG this made me tear up a lil..this and when Bob pulled Johnny out to say Happy Birthday to him before the start of the show!

R.I.P Johnny Olson

[@bhengarntheawaiter]

I think these are my favorite kinds of videos that you do. Not just because we get to see these great little moments (and the banter during the game was great, too), but also because we don't know ahead of time whether or not the contestant wins - or, in special cases like this one, even what the game is going to be. It's that much more like the actual feeling of seeing the show in real time, and I love that.

[@ericcarver3604]

I remember this episode this episode came from the year 1985 and it was also the same year that we lost Johnny Olson.😢

[@philduritza7717]

The one man associated with Goodson Todman that was 100% beloved by everyone - not a blemish to his name. We miss you Johnny O! There’s a great video of him as the mystery guest on What’s My Line. What a talent.

[@kayandaeddings4803]

Actually, he was the mystery guest twice on what’s my line. 1965, and 1974.

[@BarneyHefner]

Johnny was my grandma's cousin from the small Minnesota town of Windom. Johnny was the most un-Hollywood person ever and was that same small town boy until the day he died. A real gentleman.

Good evening to only the REAL fans! I was able to catch this episode earlier. This was a fun playing of Clock Game. She nailed that guess on the range and got so close to winning the love seat but you could tell she didn't know the right strategies.

Airdate is May 27, 1985. Johnny Olson celebrated his 75th birthday on May 22, 1985, sadly it was his last birthday celebrated on earth, he passed away on October 12, 1985 (his final show aired out of order on November 21, 1985). Gene Wood, Bob Hilton, Rich Jefferies, and Rod Roddy filled in after Johnny’s death, Rod was named permanent replacement announcer on February 17, 1986.

I've always wondered about something. What happens if a contestant doesn't want a prize? Do/did they have an option? Anybody know?

[@reedberry]

They can voluntarily forfeit any prize they don't want and, by doing so, can avoid the taxes they would ordinarily have to pay on the prize.
