The third show airing on June 4 had Johhny O filling in for Don Pardo, who had laryngitis. So Johnny had a connection to the original TPIR. I believe this is circa 1961.

BUZZR's schedule claims it was August 16, 1961.

Can 100% confirm that's the date. NBC made a note of the announcer substitution in their program files. (https://www.billcullen.net/price-is-right-episode-guide)

Much appreciated to hear that! Since noticing they've run the same episode with two different dates in the past (one with Arlene Francis; they've called it both 1/18/61 and 2/1/61 on different occasions), it's made me call their other Cullen TPIR listings into question as well, at times. Thank you!

I went over to my copy of the EoTVGS (3rd edition) and there was no mention of Johnny Olson among the original PiR sub-announcers.
And we all thought Johnny has only been connected with PiR from 1972-85. Looks like another GS myth has been blown out of the water.
Cordially,
