For only the second time in the 36-year history of the present incarnation of "The Price is Right," yesterday a contestant got the actual retail price of a Showcase on the nose and picked up over $56K in goodies (video from VH1 "Best Week Ever" blog):
http://www.bestweekever.tv/2008/12/16/the-price-is-exactly-right-local-man-wins-both-showcases-makes-game-show-history/ The last time it happened was in 1972--and Bob Barker didn't see it that time around, since it was on the weekly syndicated version hosted by Dennis James--in addition, it was before the rule awarding contestants both Showcases for close bids went into effect, so that contestant back then only got one Showcase. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
