Technical wins, mechanical errors, close calls, and other imperfections, bloopers, Samoans, etc. are why TPIR has stayed on for over 50 years.

That's the one thing i like about Bob. If there was a malfunction, he gave the contestant the prize (if it was close and it was the show's fault). There have been others like this. Most other shows would likely tell you "sorry" and I'm sure that in the small print, it states they aren't responsible for errors, but good to see that Bob always does the right thing. After all, I suspect these prizes are all "sponsored" (given) to the show in exchange for free advertising through the game show.

RIP Bob. The Price is Right was a touch stone of my childhood.

I remember as a former 90s kid when it was summer vacation, school holiday, and/or when I was sick this was the best game show every weekday @10 AM. Especially every Wednesday he introduced pets for adoption that show he had a very big heart. Also he appeared in Happy Gilmore and he was very funny. Thank you for the memories. RIP Bob Barker.

For anyone who missed the tribute that aired last night (August 31), they're showing it again on Labor Day morning at 10am or whenever TPIR airs in your area. They show all kinds of malfunctions!

Man, memories of that theme music, plus a bowl of chicken soup, a bottle of 7up, and a call from my parents to make sure I was still alive after staying home sick. What a time we once lived. I mean, who leaves a 10 year old at home alone anymore...

Finally, we got a Cliff Hangers blooper! They should air this on the one of the specials

Bob Barker is the game show GOAT. Nobody will ever beat him.

[sunnyscott]

I lived in Hollywood and actually went to a couple of tapings of this show. The studio was smaller than it looks on television, and it was so loud in there you could not even hear yourself think.

An angel from Heaven prevented the Yodely Guy from falling!

[XanaxDust]

$1, 460 for a trip to Hawaii and luggage?!! Wow!!

[JulieLarisa]

this is funny he was stuck on the top. lol bob barker has a good heart and bob barker was smart enough to quickly do the right thing also. God Bless him RIP

[Angelsilhouette]

God I remember watching this show when I was little. It brings back so many nice feelings.

[christophergladey]

I used to skip school or pretend I was sick just so I could watch TPIR. Watched him since 1979 when I was 3. RIP to the greatest game show host ever. You will be missed and nobody will come close to filling your shoes!

[philduritza]

Ah, the good old days when Barker would play god and declare a technical win!

[Ivansky]

I’m glad that Bob has the authority to make those calls and CBS doesn’t mid that he cost them Money.

Other Hosts have to say, “Let’s see what the Judges say.”

[graigmellon]

And if I recall, there was also a technical win on this game earlier this season back in 1982, but it was only announced after the commercial break.
