Just received info from the network that there will be a short 'special segment' about Bob Barker and/or TPIR which will air 'seamless' between the end of Friday Night's rerun of Barker's last TPiR and the start of the Daytime Emmy's.
Not sure of how long the segment will be, but this looks like something that will not be seen at the end of the morning airing of TPIR tomorrow.
It may be something worthy or it may just be something ho-hum, but I thought I'd pass the word for you DVR/VHS'ers anyhoo.

I was wondering what they were going to do with the extra commercial time from the daytime show when they ran it in primetime. I guess this answers that question.
-
Here I thought they'd just sell it.

Excellent. So my plot to tape both airings (which seemed foolhardy to the missus when first revealed) has a payoff after all.
Thanks for the inside scoop!!

My thoughts exactly--is there really that much difference between daytime and prime time in terms of "non-program mateial" these days?

Since there's no single host of the awards show, I think it would be kinda neat to see Bob, in his tux, make a short 'thank you' comment after the TPiR airing, walk up the aisle of an empty TPiR studio, out the door, then straight onto the stage at the Kodak to open the Emmy show.

A strong candidate for Line of the Day!!!

During his speech, did Bob really say "We never edit" when referring to the production of TPIR?? I know they tape the show "as-live," but at the taping I attended in April, there were at least half a dozen stopdowns plus several audio pickups after the show.
-
From what I've heard, that many stopdowns sounds like a pretty rare occurrence. When I went this past May there were only 2 things that needed fixed. Rich flubbed a "Tidy Cats" plug earlier in the show, and after the show ended and Bob had made his exit he stopped everyone as they were trying to exit the studio and made them stand still and quiet while he read the copy once more. Then when he was finished he said "Okay, now you can go."
The only other thing (which I happened to notice, but I'm not sure anyone else really did - I was watching a monitor at the right moment) was that during a showcase that offered an arcade game and a vacation, they showed the video from the arcade game during the trip description (imagine Rich talking about "You and a guest will fly round trip coach from Los Angeles..." while little men from the video game sword fight on screen).
-
Bob also repeatedly mentioned the "staff of 11", so it's interesting to go through the 35 names in the credits to decide who he's leaving out (possibly Rich).

A lot of those are CBS employees, though, aren't they? I figure he was only including the actual Price staffers.

He was--let me try here:
Rog
Bart
Fingers
Stan
Adam Sandler
Sue McIntyre
Fred Whitten
Gina Russo
Bente Christensen
The other PA
The script supervisor
Fields, Kalehoff and Score could be considered independent contractors. If I missed a PA name, perhaps Bente could be considered an independent contractor, as well. The hair/make-up/wardrobe ladies could be ICs, too. The rest are CBS employees.
The difference, of course, is that other game shows have the contestant booking staff and/or the writers and research staff for the material. "TPIR"'s material comes from the price lists the prize people supply and the contestant booking process is having the line go past you, talking to the people and deciding which 9 come on down. You don't need a lot of people for those things--and a lot of "TPIR" game material could be assembled by computer software if someone ever came up with it.

I'm sorry, I just think it's hilarious that there is actually a guy named Adam Sandler working for TPiR. Was he working there before Happy Gilmore?

Isn't our own Scott Robinson considered one of the "11", or is he for CBS?

How about this:

The E.P. counts as a staffer. Fred Witten works for CBS. Doesn't Syd Vinnedge count as a staffer? They may have an intern now but that doesn't count as staff. Hair/makeup/wardrobe/prize coordinators/guest relations all work for CBS.

We're forgetting our pal Scott Robinson, who's now on the show staff - and also Tiffany Bors and Jeff Thisted. Some of the people you've mentioned (Witten? Christensen?) may actually be on the CBS payroll. Hopefully Randy and/or Chris C. can straighten this one out for us.

Scott Robinson, who's now on the show staff
He works for Fremantle now? I missed that memo.
Bente works for Fremantle. Where do Tiffany and Jeff fit in?

He's a "production assistant." (And so's Tiffany, actually.) You'd know better than I would whether that's Fremantle or CBS, although I was assuming Fremantle.
-
The reason I asked the original question about Scott is that I have seen his name in the credits.

I don't know what the hell I said, but there was something in it about "Barker Rules".

The idea is that the fanb0i in question is so excited typing Too Damn Many Exclamation Points that they don't realize the Shift key isn't down for some of them.

Collary: some variations allow actually typing "one" as part of it, to carry the point even further.
(e.g.: "!!111!!!!one!111!")

The same ones who think Barker is their "second father"?

The use of the monicker "Fingers" actually goes back to the early 80's, so it's not as "inside" as you think it is.

Sorry for the late reply -- I've been out of town the past few days.
Here are the 11, defined as the people who all work in the same office space:
1. Roger Dobkowitz
2. Kathy Greco
3. Karen Wohlmuth
4. Gina Nyman
5. Stan Blits
6. Sue MacIntyre
7. Adam Sandler
8. Jeff Thisted
9. Vanessa Voss
10. Tiffany Bors
11. Scott Robinson
Yep, I joined the staff a couple of months ago. I decided to play it extremely low-key (I was also curious as to how closely people were watching the closing credits).
Bart should be on the list, but he doesn't have an office. I'm not sure why Bente isn't on the list, either. It probably should be considered a staff of more than 11, but since there are only 11 people in the office, that's where the number came from.

Wise move, considering the fan scene. Congratulations, though. So I gather you will still be employed under the new host? Or is that up in the air?

Everybody on the staff is anxiously awaiting the announcement of the new host so we can start the 36th season (i.e., nobody is planning on leaving the company).

Before we get any newbies wondering about this, let me establish that it is NOT the same Adam Sandler that Bob punched out in "Happy Gilmore."
