I love how excited Tom Kennedy would get when contestants won BIG. He'd really get into it. The perfect Switcheroo is another one where you can tell he's really excited for the contestant.
Tom Kennedy will forever be known as the 1st host of The Price is Right to have a contestant win more than $10,000 on the Punchboard and 2 contestants have a PERFECT Switcheroo God Bless Him, May He R.I.P.
@@tnawcwvictoria no disputing that fact because I will admit that it was unheard of both seeing and hearing of a win like that, but it's incredible at the same time as well, good to go.
Just to let everyone know The Price is Right had a prime-time version that lasted only a few years which is why Tom was the host. Also the rule for Punch-A-Bunch is that if one of your punches happens to be one of the two that has a $10,000 slip in it the game is automatically over and you win, it's an automatic win. Hence the intro being you could win UP to $10,000! Today it is up to $25,000 and I think there is only one slip that is $25K, but there are still two $10K slips. Unlike before, you could give up the $10K to go for the $25K, but you would be an idiot if you gave that up.
There's also a "car" card now that wins you a car. Also, they no longer have those "second chance" cards that win you a free punch, so you can only win up to 4 punches max.
Although, I think they did away with the "Second Chance" slips. So the way it works now is if the contestant earns all 4 punches, then they get just that: 4 punches, and no more. All they can do at that point is pray that one of the holes they picked is the one with the $25,000 slip in it.
No more free punches nowadays. The 52nd episode & hereafter from Glendale, CA will have 9 each of $100, $250, $500 & $1,000; 7 of $2,500; 4 of $5K; 2 of $10K and one $25K.
Tom Kennedy hosted the one season of nighttime versions from 1985-86. Dennis James, a game show pioneer, was nighttime host from '72-77 and filled in occasionally on daytime for Bob Barker. Bill Cullen hosted the orignail TPRIR from '56-65 on NBC and later ABC. Don Pardo was the announcer during the NBC run.
Tom Kennedy hosted the nighttime version of the Price is Right in 1985 but it ended in 1986. Bob continued hosting the day time version during this time.
Great reaction she had towards winning that$10,000! I would have done the same thing except I would have ran around while screaming! Lol.😂Congratulations!
On Kathleen's second punch, around 2:51, the paper covering the hole floated down to the ground. I initially thought it was the inside paper that said the amount of money on it and that that was going to be what made it unusual, because Tom would have reached in, not found anything, and they'd have to give her the top prize anyway because they thought the slip was left out by mistake and couldn't be sure of what was supposed to be on it.
@@NorikoHarukoIt was the paper covering it not the ticket inside I also thought that's what made it unusual I guess what made it unusual was she won over 10,000 when it says you can went up to 10,000
also fyi…all the games they know exactly where everything is (the producers) so they coordinate everything. they usually announce the winning to each other before the win so they get the effects ready
They only stopped it a couple years after Drew took over (Million Dollar Spectaculars didn't have it, that distribution was closer to what's seen today). Probably took too much time comparatively, and was a bit confusing. But it was a way to win more than 10k, which IIRC only happened twice (once here, and once with Bob on the daytime show in one of his final years).
I’m a bit too young to have seen Tom Kennedy host game shows in his prime but I’ve recently discovered Body Language and really enjoyed watching him there. I’ll always have a soft spot for Bob Barker on TPIR 😢 Tom and Bob just had a natural knack for the job and making the shows feel special.
I didn't realize Johnny Olson was still alive when Tom Kennedy did the nighttime price is right. My memory is getting rusty I suppose. Tom Kennedy was a good host; I remember him on Body Language.
When a search for a new host for TPIR was underway when Bob Barker retired Doug Davidson (of the Y&R) was actually auditioned but never made the cut when Drew Carey was chosen
This wasn't exactly primetime; rather, it was syndicated, and even though it was called the Nighttime Price Is Right, it could come on anytime, anywhere (the latest it did, IIRC, was around 1:30 A.M. on WNBC in NYC).
Her slip opened? ...when darn I missed that part...rotf ... Wonder how she spent the $8k after Calif. game tax,state tax and fed tax.... My aunt won grand champion on pass word in the late 60's ... between all the taxes she said it was almost 25% of all her winnings ...and man did she win some stuff.
It’s interesting how people keep wondering how it would have been if Uncle Bill (Cullen) would have taken on the newer version (though sadly he definitely wasn’t ambulatory enough for the gig), and Bob definitely brought on his own style…but Tom and Bill (being ex-brother in laws once removed natch) definitely have a similar style of hosting. In a way, watching Tom’s episodes kinda brings it’s own old-style/orthodox program in and of itself that’s actually pretty refreshing-especially the episodes where Gene Wood announced! It’s a nice little break from the LSD Trip that Barker Price can be sometimes (and we love it) 😊 I can imagine the homecoming party that Uncle Bill is throwing for Bob now 👼 Aside from the models, the gang’s all there! RIP Bob, Tom, Rod, Johnny O, Gene Wood, Dennis and Bill (as well as the lovely first ladies of TPIR-Dorothy Jo Barker and Ann Cullen)
I saw an episode when the contestant punched there was no card. Bob said that must have been the $10,000 and awarded it on the spot. I wonder if someone on the crew got an ass chewing?
@@viksra Thanks. I knew I had seen it and it wasn’t a figment of my imagination. Funny how he said we award the 10,000 and we have one less hole stuffer... someone got fired!
@@jeffjeffjeff808 I doubt they got fired, but I'm sure they got in trouble over it. If it were that big a deal, I'm sure it wouldn't have aired. But Bob always wanted the bloopers left in cause it added to the appeal of the show.
So prizes are covered by insurance and thus the game show only pays for the coverage but it has limits. So the insurance company is probably going to put a cap of $25,000 for the game.
@@janellirving4625 It was one of the last shows. He died in November 1985 and you had a mix of Gene Wood, Rich Jeffries and Rod Roddy before Roddy took over permanently early the following year.
@ im not trying to take anything away from bob but the price is right formate was way better than any other game show especially with 3 beautiful models and giving 2-3 cars away every show
Man its crazy how much this show didn't change style wise when Bob Barker came on board. Hell Bob Barker even had a similar accent, its just that old Bob really knew how to draw out a moment, how to work a contestant, how to make this these simple games a ton of fun. That was Bob's gift to the show and why it was so great IMO, he could interject the fun and excitement for a dull/petrified fish contestant, he could make people with stage fright feel right at home, help inject some excitement into their segment. And with that energetic personality, he needed no help, sometimes the contestants provided all the energy and craziness.

I’m going for it.” Bob went to the next punch, saw it, acted like Bryan had made a grave mistake, then opened the card that said $10,000 to everyone’s joy. It’s definitely on TH-cam.
7:48-- One lady in the audience is not all that much into it seeing the girl on stage getting that big $10,050 prize in Punch-A-Bunch w/the Second Chance. Her facial expression is all, "Meh-- seen it all before."
Tom Kennedy is one of my all time favorite Game Show Hosts and he's my favorite on TPIR not named Bob Barker Tom will forever be known as the 1st host of TPIR to have a contestant win more that $10,000 on the Punchboard Long before Barker and long before Drew Carey gave away more than $10,000 to a contestant
Correction: From 56-72 Bill Cullen hosted "The Price is Right" then Bob Barker began hosting in 72 "The New Price is Right" they sorta revamped it and in the 80's they created a nighttime version of the show this guy hosted.
@@ashleywallace6188 Cullen hosted TPIR from 56-65 for both NBC (1956-1963) and on abc (1963-1965) TPIR also had a weekly syndicated version in the 70's with the late Dennis James and later Barker which lasted 8 seasons with James hosting it for 5 seasons (1972-1977) and Barker hosting it for 3 seasons (1977-1980) and during the 94/95 Season, TNPIR returned with Doug Davidson of The Young and the Restless Fame and 3 models Julie Ciliani, Lisa Stahl and Ferrari Ferris and Burton Richardson fresh off from his 5 year stint as the voice of The Original Arsenio Hall Show but that version lasted 4 months from September 1994-January 1995 and his version didn't have the IUFB
It's cool that we can get tv shows from the other universe now. If anyone's here from the other universe, our price is right was hosted by Bob Barker, now Drew Carey!
Back in the early 80's, I used to take my naps on the living room floor, while The Price Is Right was on. There was something soothing about it. And the freeze framed at the wrong moment. 5:00
According to Wikipedia on Tom Kennedy he hosted a syndicated nighttime version of The Price Is Right during the 85-86 TV season. He hosted Password Plus from 80 - 82, then former Tattle Tales host Burt Convey hosted Super Password from 84-89. AND Tom Kennedy is STILL Alive. He turned 90 in late February.
No matter what show he hosted, Tom Kennedy always have me the creeps, especially by the way he looked at the female contestants. To me he was such a pig
I remember Tom Kennedy from the 60's game show, "You Don't Say!". His brother was Jack Narz who was also a very popular game show host. Jack has passed on but Tom is 90.
@@chake46 I don't remember that show. Bob Barker is the only host I remember from the Price is Right and Drew Carry of course. I think back in the 70's it expanded to an hour.
@@nickhill8612 You're right TPIR did go to an hour in 78. NOW YOU SEE IT had a board with different Names, words, titles etc... Jack would ask a question, you had to find the answer & name line & position of the answer. There may be few episodes here.
@@chake46 That sounds interesting. I will see if its on TH-cam. Everything else is lol. I remember other game shows like Beat the clock , hot seat and I think the wheel of fortune was on at night. We would watch match game every day after school.
Tom Kennedy is one of my favorite game show MCs. He’s the brother of Jack Narz, host of Now You See It. Tom hosted Whew!, Password Plus after Allen Ludden, Body Language and WordPlay...and this nighttime Price. He always ran the shows with a positive attitude and made the contestants and guest stars feel at home.
Is this when there was a version of The Price Is Right that was in in the evening. I think it was on for maybe a year or just a summer fill in. I remember it had a host that wore glasses and there is a clip of the show in the movie Flight if the Navigator.
This is actually the syndie '85 TPIR that had the late, great Tom Kennedy on it (Kennedy born in 1927 as James Edward Narz, little brother of Jack Narz).
It's called Punch-a-bunch, not punchboard. thats just the name of the device that has all the little cubby holes and slips of money inside. the whole game is called punch-a-bunch
Kerry Schlegel I can...1985-1986 the newer nighttime version was on. Luckily it was on in the Detroit market on Channel 2 @ 7:30. I say luckily because the 3 major channels there were always pre-empting and running garbage in certain time spots all day.
They've eliminated the second chance. I never realized that. Look how nice everybody's dressed. That's when people had pride in how they looked. No muffin tops peaking out of a short tight t shirt with spaghetti straps not even covering the bra straps, etc.
Debbie Bryant I don't know what you're talking about. I've watched three times this week and no one --- no one --- was dressed the way you describe. It's mostly funny t-shirts or group t-shirts these days. No one who got on stage had on heels like this woman, but certainly no one had their bra straps showing either. I guess people see what they want to see.
this contestant qualifies as a Barker Beauty
Amen.
Sorta like Holly with different hair.
I never thought of it before but Tom sounds so much like Bob
Really does he??
My Grandfather didn't like the show unless it had BOB BARKER. I watched it sometimes anyway, but Bob really carried the show that bit extra.

Which, to Bob and the audience’s M
amazement (and his wife’s horror), he offered to return…
Bob asked Bryan’s wife, Carlotta, what he should do…she said “Keep it.” Bob asked the audience to together tell Bryan what to do…they yelled “KEEP IT!”
Bryan’s response: “Audience, if you’re scared, buy a dog. I’m going for it.”
Bob went to the next punch, saw it, acted like Bryan had made a grave mistake, then opened the card that said $10,000 to everyone’s joy. It’s definitely on TH-cam.
7:48-- One lady in the audience is not all that much into it seeing the girl on stage getting that big $10,050 prize in Punch-A-Bunch w/the Second Chance. Her facial expression is all, "Meh-- seen it all before."
Tom Kennedy is one of my all time favorite Game Show Hosts and he's my favorite on TPIR not named Bob Barker
Tom will forever be known as the 1st host of TPIR to have a contestant win more that $10,000 on the Punchboard
Long before Barker and long before Drew Carey gave away more than $10,000 to a contestant
Bob began hosting in 72 he took a year break and Tom hosted
Correction: From 56-72 Bill Cullen hosted "The Price is Right" then Bob Barker began hosting in 72 "The New Price is Right" they sorta revamped it and in the 80's they created a nighttime version of the show this guy hosted.
@@ashleywallace6188 Cullen hosted TPIR from 56-65 for both NBC (1956-1963) and on abc (1963-1965) TPIR also had a weekly syndicated version in the 70's with the late Dennis James and later Barker which lasted 8 seasons with James hosting it for 5 seasons (1972-1977) and Barker hosting it for 3 seasons (1977-1980) and during the 94/95 Season, TNPIR returned with Doug Davidson of The Young and the Restless Fame and 3 models Julie Ciliani, Lisa Stahl and Ferrari Ferris and Burton Richardson fresh off from his 5 year stint as the voice of The Original Arsenio Hall Show but that version lasted 4 months from September 1994-January 1995 and his version didn't have the IUFB
Wait! She still had one more punch to go!! Love seeing these game shows from the 70's and 80's.
"higher or lower"
"no"
Laugh out Loud .....
I just busted out laughing!!!!
I love how it accidentally flips open giving the camera a direct view before he even sees the amount
Feels like twilight zone watching this guy host
Wow, $10,050! That's good considering the 1980's time zone. In 2020, that won't even get you a small house.
I love how her hair bounces when she gets excited 😂💕
It's cool that we can get tv shows from the other universe now. If anyone's here from the other universe, our price is right was hosted by Bob Barker, now Drew Carey!
This must have been the nighttime show version of The Price is Right that I remember in the 70s and 80s
@Lotta Sunshine well im not sure what year this is but based on the clothes and hair style its definitely 80's.
@Lotta Sunshine another comment said this ran at night for one season in the mid 80's.
Back when 10k meant something...
Knoar that could pay off a few small bills for me today, I wouldn’t turn it down.
It still DOES.
I mean, that's like 8 months rent for me.. That still means something
It will mean something until we leave this life and move onto whatever forms of exchange are used past here.
but I do get your point. You could probably buy 2 brand new sports cars for $10,000 at the time this was filmed.
RIP
Tom Kennedy.
Bob was better cause he'd tease the contestant before revealing the winning slip.
The nighttime version with Kennedy only ran for one season, so this has to be 1985-1986, so just over 30 years ago.
33 years or 34 years
Back in the early 80's, I used to take my naps on the living room floor, while The Price Is Right was on. There was something soothing about it.
And the freeze framed at the wrong moment. 5:00
"if it's higher, you get a punch" lol
yeah this game is rigged she didn't get knocked the fuck out for screaming
HOW is it rigged Jallybrain?
Just think. That contestant is probably pushing 70 years old now. How time flys.
Kathleen is so pretty.
She has a SEXY pair of legs too.
is that tom kennedy?
Yes it was.
what year did tom kennedy retire password plus to host this show?
According to Wikipedia on Tom Kennedy he hosted a syndicated nighttime version of The Price Is Right during the 85-86 TV season. He hosted Password Plus from 80 - 82, then former Tattle Tales host Burt Convey hosted Super Password from 84-89. AND Tom Kennedy is STILL Alive. He turned 90 in late February.
Tom Kennedy was waiting for hugs and kisses!
No matter what show he hosted, Tom Kennedy always have me the creeps, especially by the way he looked at the female contestants. To me he was such a pig
so weird seeing contestants like Kathleen, she's kinda dressed up to be on TV.
ah, the good ol' days.
If ya don't get dressed up to be on TV then what the heck do ya get dressed up for?? 😆
She's dressed like your typical school teacher
@@memeboutte7144 What kinda school did you go to?
Although it's 100% luck and requires no skill, you've gotta hand it to the woman. That was great, and she throws a pretty good punch too!
Gosh, you can't get no luckier that!
I did know Tom Kennedy was host
I remember Tom Kennedy from the 60's game show, "You Don't Say!". His brother was Jack Narz who was also a very popular game show host. Jack has passed on but Tom is 90.
Doug Celeste Tom is still alive? He's 90 for sure. On to Bing!
Jack Narz hosted NOW YOU SEE IT! It was a good show & should have stayed longer than two years. 1974 & 75
@@chake46
I don't remember that show.
Bob Barker is the only host I remember from the Price is Right and Drew Carry of course.
I think back in the 70's it expanded to an hour.
@@nickhill8612 You're right TPIR did go to an hour in 78. NOW YOU SEE IT had a board with different Names, words, titles etc... Jack would ask a question, you had to find the answer & name line & position of the answer. There may be few episodes here.
@@chake46
That sounds interesting. I will see if its on TH-cam.
Everything else is lol.
I remember other game shows like Beat the clock , hot seat and I think the wheel of fortune was on at night.
We would watch match game every day after school.
The great Tom Kennedy from Louisville Ky
RIP, Tom Kennedy.
i know he just Passed away on the 7th least Bob Parker is still alive for awhile he will be 97 next month :).
i am a huge tom kennedy fan
@@adamsATSfan415 Bob Barker not Parker , lol
@@mostlydollshelicopters4799 i know i screwed up XD
Tom Kennedy hosted Split Second in the early/mid 70s. That was a great game show that (I’m sure) few remember. Had a great theme song too.
Punch A Bunch is one of my favorite games on The Price is Right.
I have never seen that host before, I'm more familiar with Bob Barker.
Tom Kennedy is one of my favorite game show MCs. He’s the brother of Jack Narz, host of Now You See It.
Tom hosted Whew!, Password Plus after Allen Ludden, Body Language and WordPlay...and this nighttime Price.
He always ran the shows with a positive attitude and made the contestants and guest stars feel at home.
@@FrankTeddy2011 He was a better host than Drew Carey...
@@mr.c1563 a catfish would better than Drew Carey.😂
Is this when there was a version of The Price Is Right that was in in the evening. I think it was on for maybe a year or just a summer fill in. I remember it had a host that wore glasses and there is a clip of the show in the movie Flight if the Navigator.
nothing better than the whoop whoop whoop
Bill Cullen was the first host of the price is right back in the 50s
Yep...back when it was just bidding on prizes. No pricing games back then
I don't remember seeing him as the host, this must have been a prime time special
+ this contestant is a cutie !!
She is stunning my man.
This is actually the syndie '85 TPIR that had the late, great Tom Kennedy on it (Kennedy born in 1927 as James Edward Narz, little brother of Jack Narz).
It's called Punch-a-bunch, not punchboard. thats just the name of the device that has all the little cubby holes and slips of money inside. the whole game is called punch-a-bunch
The way they capture the winning or losing contestants faces a car by the 80s with an am radio only
I Miss Seeing The Reactions When They Won.... God I Miss Old School Shows
I cannot remember Tom Kennedy being the host on Price Is Right! haha (Bob Barker was unforgetable!)
Kerry Schlegel I can...1985-1986 the newer nighttime version was on. Luckily it was on in the Detroit market on Channel 2 @ 7:30. I say luckily because the 3 major channels there were always pre-empting and running garbage in certain time spots all day.
They've eliminated the second chance. I never realized that. Look how nice everybody's dressed. That's when people had pride in how they looked. No muffin tops peaking out of a short tight t shirt with spaghetti straps not even covering the bra straps, etc.
Debbie Bryant I don't know what you're talking about. I've watched three times this week and no one --- no one --- was dressed the way you describe. It's mostly funny t-shirts or group t-shirts these days. No one who got on stage had on heels like this woman, but certainly no one had their bra straps showing either. I guess people see what they want to see.
Right On Debbie. Wait a couple of more years and people will be naked. What a shame.
Oh man I forgot all about the pocketbook calculator!
🤣🤣😂😂
I thought only bob Barker hosted The Price is Right
Tom Kennedy hosted the Nightime Price is Right, from September 1985 to May 1986.
Me too, until Drew Carey
@@Buskieboy As did Dennis James.
Tom Kennedy was a great game show host.
Tom Kennedy was very underrated
He didn't ask her if she wanted to give it back and look at her last punch
chevy van $10,000 is as high as you can go. She got $10,050 only because of the bonus.
During the Bob Barker era, a guy got $10,500
The 80's that was good money for spending, Good job princess Diana, I still love that hair style
WHOOP WHOOP WHOOOOOOOOOOOP
mixon270 the whoop whoop whoop really adds to the excitement! I need a whoop generator machine in my life!
I don't recall anyone other than Bob Barker hosting the show up until Drew took over. Must be a Mandela Effect moment for me. Lol!
Tom Kennedy host the show between 1985-1986
Everyone likes a winner ,especially such a gorgeous fox of a winner
Actually, the game's called Punch-A-Bunch.
I have ONLY one word to say about this; WOW!
