The Price Is Right Behind The Scenes

Can't beleve they won't be taping at Television City anymore. Thanks for preserving a bit of TPIR history.

[@michaelheyne]

Yeah

[@bobby1970]

Starting when?

[@tnate6004]

@@bobby1970 They are starting to shoot the new season next week at Haven Studios in Glendale, CA. CBS sold Television City a few years ago and the new owners are going to do massive renovations, thus necessitating the TPIR move.

[@bobby1970]

@@tnate6004 Thanks for the info. I hope the new stage and audience area will be a lot more bigger than what it is now. I also hope it looks a lot more like the Barker era. Bob Barker had a huge crowd compared to today's Price is Right. I really miss those days. They'll never be another Bob. At least he's still alive, though, but very old.

[@josephbennett3482]

@@tnate6004 The Price is Right is always changing locations , if you watch the one video on KZbin of the crew building the Game show sets you'll see that it's built all from scratch every season at their taping locations , it's a very long process which takes an army of people that work like a bee hive or an ant colony it's pretty fascinating to watch an empty building transform into one of the most popular game shows.

[@voiceofjeff]

Im always amazed to see anything to do with Television City and especially the historic Studio 33. So much television history made in that studio. What I wouldnt give to be able to roam around that place and take in the sights! Thank you so much for letting us see behind the curtain, literally!

Michael, thank you for showing us what it's like before the show starts. I've been to The Price is Right Live countless times and I know what the announcer has to do to get the crowd fired up before the "show" actually starts, but to see what George has to do is just beyond words. Thanks for the tour and the behind the scenes look!

I am in a quandary of who this guy is, leading this tour. I'm wondering how he was able to take a camera behind the scenes. Does he work for the show? I know he's not the host, because I think Drew Carey is or was the host at this time. Judging by the audience reaction, I'm guessing he's someone famous. Maybe I'm just out of the loop. Does anyone watching this know how he might be related to the show? Thanks in advance.

51 years TPIR filmed in that studio. Pluto playing Bob episodes that can last for an eternity. I just really really hope the show can invite Bob and get him to the studio anyway necessary if he makes it to 100. If Bob and Nancy (his girlfriend) say it's okay it would just be awesome for all the fans if that can happen. It's just going to be weird not see those two red flower things ( I don't know what they are called) on the floor that was always a staple when Bob and Drew came out.

@9:40. i remember when George was hosting a show, i believe on HGTV, life time or some channel, about Christmas and Christmas decorations and stuff, this was more than ten years ago when he used to wear glasses and bleached his hair white and had it spiked up and wear the hippest ( he thot! HA! ) clothes, anyway, George was talking to one of the home owners about his set-up, the home owner was an attorney, and George asked him a question which he really didn`t answer, and George turned to the camera and said, ah, he`s a slippery eel! LOL! i`l always remember that! So George, if you read this, thanx for the chuckes all these years!

I would work there just for the buffet, but that's OK. I've gotten used to bringing my own food to work, but I could get used to that buffet. I went to a The Price is Right taping a long time ago (the Bob Barker era). Me, and the friends I went with, weren't chosen to "come on down." Oh well. It's The Price is Right's loss. I remember almost every contestant lost that day. That was probably because I was never chosen. :/

If drew leaves in the future, maybe James be a great host, mate

[@jimmydandy9364]

I don't think he is planning to leave anytime soon, sadly TPIR is not the same without Bob, and I honestly do not think his retirement was all his decision - it's a shame that there were so much controversies behind the scenes MAYBE that contributed partly to his decision., in my opinion I do not believe Bob is entirely happy with the direction the show has taken since, and I would agree too, and I do not necessarily think that Drew was the BEST pick. One of the main reasons CBS is keeping those game shows on the air despite their ratings decline is that they are cheap to produce and cost a fraction of the price compared to scripted series which cost several millions per episode. As far as the current studio it will undergo a little over a billion $ in renovations.
