They'll also stop tape when a contestant hits a Daily Double -- or extend a commercial break -- if the judges are still trying to determine if a previous response is acceptable. And the contestant interviews are sometimes edited for time. That said, I'm sure game shows being taped in real-time is more due to the efforts of the producers, rather than the host. I went to a couple of "Price Is Right" tapings back in the Bob Barker era, and I'm positive he would have been very happy to drag out his interactions with the contestants. (I've only ever seen clips of his work on "Truth or Consequences," but I've seen it said that he was better on that show than he was on "Price Is Right.") -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
