Throwback Thursday: The Price is Right

In honor of the stage show version of The Price is Right coming to the Arena in Binghamton on April 8th, we thought we'd look back to the golden days of the show.

Bob Barker was the perfect host for the "new" version of the show, which premiered in 1972. Did you know it actually began in 1956 with Bill Cullen as the host? I didn't!

Oh, one more thing. If the announcer on the Bill Cullen version is familiar, it's because the legendary voice of Saturday Night Live. Don Pardo was the announcer.

Here are some clips from both versions of the show. Some of our favorite games are in here. How good were YOU at the playing along?
