Contestant Pushes Penny Ante to the Limit When Playing for a Jukebox | The Price Is Right 1985

[@Juggalo4life69]

Bob Baker puts More heart ❤️ and give in to it then Drew Carey does

[@silentbob3208]

It's not even close.

[@jwoodworth]

Bob put more of his other things into it too.

[@meyerj75]

By the time Holly Hallstrom left, Bob acted like he owns the Price Is Right.

[@palindrome1023]

Penny Ante is one of those pricing games I wish was never retired

[@gameshowfanatic]

I'm with you. I think it would've been better to keep this over the "replacement" To the Penny.

[@johnwiesner9590]

Unfortunately the set was left outside and got damaged by the rain, and was never replaced.

[@NerdNest83]

Same. To The Penny is a decent successor, but the original was better.

[@wifeoftim]

Goodness! That soap is expensive!

[@vap0rland]

Episodes like this really remind me how much I loved the 80s.

[@MarkAHoltz]

I miss this game and the associated sound effects.

[@gameshowfanatic]

Me too. At least they recycled some of the sound effects for the "replacement" game To the Penny.

[@AgentJX33]

I love the sound ques on Penny Ante

[@DonaldBowen-td5ct]

I remember Johny Olson, and Rod Roddy

[@silentbob3208]

Two legends on the microphone

[@AgentJX33]

Agreed

[@JeffK787]

The beautiful Holly has moves!

[@meyerj75]

Holly rules!

[@khmam]

Gene Wood takes the microphone!

[@joellafargue9882]

This was just after the passing of announcer Johnny Olsen. G-T announcer Gene Wood filled in until Rod Roddy was hired.

[@silentbob3208]

Right, along with others like Rich Jeffries

[@meyerj75]

Family Feud was on hiatus at the time and Gene Wood had plenty of time to kill so he announced TPIR following the death of Johnny Olson until the start of the 1986 reboot of Card Sharks. By then, Rich Jeffries took his place before he, too, was replaced by Rod Roddy who quit Love Connection in order to announce TPIR. He would stay there for 17 years, 4 years longer than Johnny Olson.

[@joellafargue9882]

@@meyerj75 I remember Rod Roddy for those extremely loud suit jackets he wore in every episode. He was a great choice for replacing Johnny.

[@meyerj75]

@@joellafargue9882 The Price Is Right was perfect for Rod Roddy to display the "Elton John" like jackets he had on as he couldn't do it on all other shows he's announced in the past like "Press Your Luck" and "Love Connection".

I got worried for sheree there but she managed to pull out a miracle win good for her

[@gameshowfanatic]

Honestly, I think this was a better game than it's "replacement" To the Penny. Less confusing rules and much faster to play.

[@joellafargue9882]

As I see it, To The Penny made its debut 20 years after Penny Ante was retired. It was created as part of the show's 50 anniversary season. Game play was definitely diffeent, but I don't think it's that confusing -- you have to select the correct price from a growing number of choices. Starts easy, but becomes more difficult as the game progresses and you have more prices to choose from with each succeeding product. A player can win up to $25,000, and this happened the very first time it was played (the player had been perfect up to the final round, which made him an automatic winner). You have to be very good (or very lucky) as pricing to win the top prize, but it can be, and has been, done.

[@silentbob3208]

From the fifth pricing game of the 11/27/85 episode of The Price is Right, featuring Penny Ante today.

[@SharpstowntheotherDanMal-ld3nc]

Miss this

[@robbernath]

I wonder if Holly requested to be the model every time a jukebox was offered as a prize - she always seemed to be the one featured with them. Guess she just had to boogie on down... 🎶

[@meyerj75]

And who could ever forget the time she was dancing with a "dummy" and his pants fell down?!

[@JohnPeterson-o8l]

We need more 86 clips.

[@greatPretender79]

I love 45 records lol

[@matthewcasiglio2539]

If memory serves the last game show Gene wood was annoucer for before his passing was either classic concentration hosted by Alex trebek or the Ray combs version of family feud

[@silentbob328]

The last show he announced for was actually a family game show called Family Challenge. It was also the last show Ray Combs hosted.

[@matthewcasiglio2539]

@silentbob328 well I knew it was somewhere in the 90's

[@Paulywint]

That jukebox is a Rowe and it was manufactured in 1985.

[@meyerj75]

True fact: Penny Ante wasn't even played once on the nighttime version hosted by Tom Kennedy at the time.

[@jnadle1]

What's the jukebox cue?

[@darreljones8645]

I guess the rights to playing "real" music cues for the jukebox were getting too expensive, so the TPiR producers switched to original generic compositions.

[@silentbob3208]

Saving on those royalties

[@stevensuarez4843]

Does anyone have the jukebox music cue, it makes me wanna boogie.

[@lazm3518]

Were hot indeed!

[@SharpstowntheotherDanMal-ld3nc]

Drew Carey is rude

[@silentbob328]

Never going to be as good as Bob was. Not even close

[@bluejedi723]

I swear the older I get the more impressed I am with the prizes of the 70s and 80s. The crap out there, esp since drew Cary took over SUCK

[@silentbob3208]

Me too. I don't even buy that many new things anymore because they don't even feel worth the investment.

[@silvialogan9226]

The prizes with Bob Barker were far better and the pricing games were far easier to win. Since Drew Carey has taken over, many of the prizes just became boring with many prizes games not won.

[@Headbanger142]

Eh, I wouldn't mind owning a giant kitchen island over a grandfather clock. 😆

[@meyerj75]

Believe me, I wanted Fannie Flagg to host TPIR than Drew Carey. She would have made the "Dana Vallery" of all game show emcees.

[@randolphtwells1360]

That last part you said about Drew Carey take over "The Price Is Right" is downright disrespectful. You have to watch your mouth. The next time you comment to me, you are next person called "The Price Is Reported to KZbin." #priceiswrong

I don't dislike Gene Wood, but I'm glad Rod Roddy was chosen as Johnny's successor. He fit in well with the show.

[@NerdNest83]

I wouldn't say "yuck". Gene Wood was a great announcer, but I am glad Rod Roddy succeeded Johnny Olson. To be fair, Gene just wasn't the right fit for this show. Not to say he didn't try, but The Price is Right was more high energy than some of the other shows Gene announced for.

"Separate Lives" by Phil Collins & Marilyn Martin and The Miami Vice TV Soundtrack were the #1 single and album respectively in the U.S. during that time period. In the U.K., it was "A Good Heart" by Feargal Sharkey and "The Promise" by Sade. Oh, I did I mention that November 27, 1985 was the day BEFORE Thanksgiving. Hope you like "Yogi's First Christmas" because it was everywhere in the TV listings following it.
