Everyone of those people were lucky enough to live during the best time the earth will ever have! I'm thankful to have been a small part of that era as well.
RIP Bob Barker & Rod Roddy!
dont forget johnny olson
Rod Roddy was battling colon, prostate & breast cancer. He is missed greatly.
sadly that was too much to overcome.
so true well said we miss him and Johhny and now Bob.
He was such a big part of my childhood sick days watching the Price is Right!
When they showed the brief glimpse of Rod Roddy, you could tell he was sick.
I love watching these clips. I was on the price is right roughly 24 years ago when Bob Barker and Rod Roddy were still on. Rod was great at warming up the audience before the show got started. I didn’t know that he was the opening voice for the sitcom “Soap” which was a great show. It was interesting to see how everything ran. Too bad I wasn’t called to “Come on down!” But it was a good time and great memory
He did back in 1977.
Back in the early 60's, Rod Roddy was a DJ at KQV, which at the time was THE Top 40 radio station in Pittsburgh.
He was the only next best to Johnny Olson. For those who don't know, Johnny Olson was the original announcer of the Price Is Right, the man behind the "COME ON DOWN!!" phrase who sadly died on October 12, 1985 after complications from a stroke. RIP Johnny Olson, Rod Rolly, & Bob Barker you 3 were The Price Is Right.
All 3 are now doing the price is right in heaven with the others who have been on the show.
You forgot creators Mark Goodson and Bill Todman.
Rod Rolly, C'mon Down!
@@bronxscratcher Good looking!!
@@JeffreyJetsKohut Who the heck is Rod Rolly HAHA
Jeez those stuffed shirts really took the air out of the room. The audacity of that guy grabbing Bob's microphone 😂
Who is he grabbing bobs mic?
He had gall to grab bobs microphone
RIP to Bob Barker and Rod Roddy, we will never forget you guys.
Rip Bob Barker🙏
Sadly Rod Roddy passed away not much after from this dreadful disease called cancer.
3:07 Rod Roddy's Final Appearance on camera!
Poor guy. He looked so sick and older than his age due to the cancer treatments
He looked really sick
And he looked too skinny, hoarse and pretty much done for after his cancer spread through his body
To me, Rod will always be the voice of Price is Right. Johnny Olson was the best to ever do the job overall, but I always associate him with Match Game - I actually thought his chemistry was better with Gene Rayburn than it was with Bob. Rod and Bob clicked right from the very beginning and complemented one another perfectly.
That's interesting, since Bob was very close with Johnny Olson, and quite personally affected by his passing - while relationship with Rod wasn't nearly as casual; it was quite purely professional. His banter with Johnny was practically non-stop throughout their entire TPIR time together. With Rod, there were still occasional humorous exchanges. Bob also had high personal regard for Rich Field, who succeeded Rod after his passing. Rich, as many know, was very inspired by Johnny Olson.
Rod Roddy was the best announcer on The Price Is Right. He is missed
Rod Roddy is wonderful. But Johnny Olson is the greatest announcer of The Price is Right (if not greatest of all game shows) - I think even Rod himself would vouch for that!
And way better than Gray
I had no idea Rod was ill when I originally watched this. He certainly didn't look it.
He had been battling both colon and breast cancer on and off for two years at this point.
@@DorvellTStewart And prostate cancer as well.
Really? Didn’t know that.
Burton Richardson should've replaced Rod Roddy since he helped out with the show many times during Rod's absences
Agreed, although Richfield’s wasn’t the worst choice in terms of rods successor; that title, had he been named as such, belong to Daniel Rosen.
RIP Bob Barker
It’s clear that Bob DIDN’T want to relinquish his microphone to Syd, yet here was Syd, taking the microphone and flapping his gums about some nonsense.
Bob Barker was too much of a professional to not give up his microphone, while Syd was too much of an a$$ to not see that nobody was interested in what he had to say.
Bob is such a gentleman.
Bob you look beautiful ❤
Despite Rod Roddy's death from cancer in 2003, he continued to parodied posthumously in _MADtv_ throughout the next couple years (2004-05) with settings in 1977, 1986, "1134 B.C." and finally, with a Muslim "Death to America" theme.
Yes, but there was a goof up as Johnny Olson was the original announcer up until his death in 1985, and Rod didn't become the show's announcer until 1986.
@@shaneomacdaddy It's like MADtv's universe was unaware of Rich Fields succeeding Rod Roddy in 2004 and somehow insisted that Rod was still alive and still the _TPIR_ announcer
@JasonDelarosa2000 Yeah, no kidding, eh, but unless (realistically), the Rod Roddy episodes were taped 📼 before his death.
Yes he can be president❤
You can hear a bit of weakness in his voice. So sad.
Season 32 Premiere of The Price is Right.
Air Date Monday September 22nd, 2003.
35 days prior Rod Roddy lost battle male breast colon cancer.
He was 66 years old and passed away Monday October 27th, 2003.
Final week of late October 27th thru 31st Burton Richardson was interim announcer.
Then Randy West beginning November 3rd 2003.
Didn't Gene Wood also did some shows too?
@@Limegreenedragon you’re correct but he did it in 1985 when johnny olson passed away. Then they had Bob Hilton audition until Rod Roddy finally stepped in permanently on February 17, 1986. W hen he passed, Burton Richardson auditioned, Randy West auditioned, and so did a fellow by the name of Daniel Rosen. Then Rich Fields auditioned and he finally got the job permanently. well, until Mike Richards fired him in 2009. Boy did that suck. Now George Gray is the announcer and I’m sorry to say it but he sucks. By the way, Rich Fields now has the podium that johnny and Rod stood at.
Also Paul Boland, who announced for that Gawd-awful 1998 revival of Match Game.
@@erikbunty2016 I didn’t see that version of match game. I only seen the one from the 1980s and match game p.m. I never saw the ones from 1990 either. I’ve seen some clips though.
I love that this is taped off 9&10 News in northern Michigan.
Rod's voice changes drastically. It's not his normal voice.
Because he had cancer and he was sick during this time.
@@kayandaeddings4803 Thank you for explaining.
Sid Vinnedge was the producer of Wordplay, Tom Kennedy's final game show to make it to air (he would host a couple of pilots before retiring in 1989). Tom Kennedy hosted the nighttime Price is Right the previous year, during which Rod Roddy debuted on both versions.
Syd Vinnedge, also, was the man who took over for Bob Barker as the executive producer for TPIR when Drew Carey became the host in 2007 for two seasons.
Supposed to be a moment for Rod, but instead the execs hog the stage.
Bob Barker outlived two of his emcees during his tenure on this show. Then he joined the 99 club.
Closest to a dollar without going over.
All these comments hereiand not even ONE mention of the original announcer Don Pardo? The shame of it all!
So sad. Rich Fields did a good job after Rod. And George Gray is great on The Price is Right today
RIP
Opening day
Poor Rod, he looked like hell!
NONE OF THESE GUYS COULD EVER OUTDOOR OR BE CLOSE TO JOHNNY OLSON.
Grow up and learn how to spell.
sid guy, blah blah blah, ...... more blah blah blah and in closing blah blah blah
3:35 Bob Barker for President...we would have been better off.
Better than the 2 crooks who are your current candidates.
@@shaneomacdaddy Unfortunately. That is no longer the case. We're stuck with tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum.
@@arthuridis Yup, exactly 💯 and it sucks.
He screwed around as much as a Kennedy.
