Q 01Who was named host of the syndicated nighttime Price Is Right when the show returned in 1972?

Q 02Who was The Price Is Right's original announcer, from its 1972 premiere until his death in 1985?

Q 03The Price Is Right's 1972 CBS premiere, hosted by Bob Barker, fell on which U.S. holiday?
Labor Day
Labor Day, September 4, 1972: CBS launched three new game shows back to back that Monday morning, and this is the only one of the three that has stayed on the network ever since.
Q 04The Big Wheel arrived in 1975 alongside which change?
Hour-long episodes

Q 05Which pricing game was the first ever played on the 1972 CBS premiere?
Any Number
Any Number opened the 1972 premiere and is still in the rotation; it can't be lost outright, because calling digits always completes one of its three prices, even if only the loose change.
Q 06Which catchphrase does The Price Is Right's announcer shout to call contestants from the audience?
'Come on down!'
'Come on down!' rings out nine times an hour: four names open the show, then one more follows each of the first five pricing games to refill Contestants' Row.
Q 07Bob Barker closed each Price Is Right episode from the 1980s on by urging viewers to do what?
Spay or neuter their pets
Spay or neuter their pets: Barker's sign-off was 'Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered,' and Drew Carey kept the line when he took over.
Q 08Which Palm Springs TV weatherman became The Price Is Right's announcer in April 2004?

Q 09Hitting exactly $1.00 on the Big Wheel wins cash and what else?
A bonus spin
A bonus spin: land on $1.00 again and it adds $25,000 on a regular show, up from $10,000 before 2008, so one contestant can bank $26,000 before the Showcase.
Q 10Which game-show creator, later behind The $10,000 Pyramid, devised the original 1956 Price Is Right?
Bob Stewart
Bob Stewart got the idea from watching an auctioneer at work in New York and first called it The Auctionaire; he also created To Tell the Truth and Password.
Q 11What happens when a Big Wheel spin fails to make one full revolution?
It is not counted and is redone
It is not counted and is redone: the wheel has to travel all the way around at least once, so a contestant can't simply nudge it a few spaces toward the $1.00.
Q 12In which Price Is Right game does a figure advance one step for every dollar a guess is off?
