The Price is Right - Empty Hole on the Punchboard
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2012
- On The Price is Right, a contestant did not see what she nearly pulled out of her second punched hole by accident on the Punchboard, but then the first punched hole overshadowed even that: her first punch was in an empty hole, and the error meant she automatically won $10,000. For the record, her second punch would have been $5,000.

Bob Barker is the classic and no one will even come close to matching him.
In the UK we had Bruce Forsyth
Incorrect bill Cullen was the original.
THIS is why Bob Barker was the KING of Game Shows !
👌👌👌
Back in the 90s I worked in the price is right studio. I had one job, and one job only. My position was "hole stuffer". Key word: WAS.
Unless there were other empty holes, what were the odds that she picked that one? They did right by rewarding her the $10,000.00 🤗
There are 50 holes so 2% chance with 1 punch, 8% chance having 4 punches taken.

Apparently that day, 100%
Bob Barker was probably the last person on earth to say "we made the mistake so we pay for it".
these classic episodes reminds me of good times with my family, watching when at home sick from school, and watching fresh prince of Belair after
TPIR error in your favor, collect $10K
What I'm wondering is, why couldn't they just let her punch another hole? What would have been the harm in her doing so? *Shrugs*
It's entirely possible the $10,000 ticket never made it into a punch hole. As they don't know what prize would have been in there without punching every single one, they'd be in legal trouble if they didn't award the prize.
classic monopoly joke.
When Bob said there was one less stuffer, he probably wasn't kidding.
they probably fired that hole stuffer then hired a brand new one off the street
Probably true; but it should not have been that way. Just have her punch another hole for gosh sakes!
They had to assume that the missing card was the $10,000 card, so they automatically awarded her the top prize.
Idan O'Reilly that was my thought as well(after the thought that Bob was going to award her the $10,000),just let her punch another hole but I am sure that she's glad that wasn't the way the show did it
Idan O'Reilly Standards and Practices likely would have made the show give her the $10K.
This was the same exact episode where a contestant automatically won a car due to a game error in One Away.
i know right
and it was a lady that won it.
i think the same person that didn't put a envelope in the whole is the same person that made the error.
seem like someone is trying to get him/herself fired.
It was the same episode that Bob was ‘weak’ with his inspiration putt in the Hole-in-One game and the contestant won the car
According to Roger Dobkowitz, there's a plywood backpiece that keeps all the slips in place, on that day someone forgot to fasten it properly.
There was a chewing out on set after that, maybe a behind the scenes changeup.
I honestly dont remember seeing that mistake. That was very strange! How could they not fill all the slots? I am glad that he made it right for her!. I miss Bob so much!. I still cant believe it that he is gone.
And then there was the screw up in the Plinko game.
When the plinko board is used for shooting commercials, they set up a thin fishing line to force the chip to fall in the $10,000 slot.
They forgot to remove the fishing line before setting it up for an actual contestant.
She got three chips in the $10,000 before someone realized the mistake.
They resolved the issue by doing the following:
1) award the $30,000
2) give her back all 5 chips
3) start over, and
4) nobody was allowed to mention on air the blooper or the $30,000 until after it aired on tv.
Just checked and Bob Barker is alive and kicking. Absolute Legend. Somebody please bubble wrap him. After Betty White, I can't take another loss of a legend!
well shit, we just lost pee wee earlier in the week, at the end of July.
8 months later, he’s STILL alive. So is Jimmy Carter.
Bro when he does go he will be frozen in carbonite and offered as part of the showcase showdown.
@@Antonio_Otter Sadly, he has left us today at the age of 99.
@@Joe_Okey now i feel bad for this cause Bob was always that spry guy even when he would come back to guest host the TPIR he was still like he always was.
Hopefully they make him a statue at the new studio or put on out of Bob Barker studios
They were scrambling around in the audio booth to start the clangs and woops because of the unexpected ending. Took awhile for them to start.
This is what you call "setting precedence" and because of it, the future error was rewarded to the contestant.
Actully, 1950's game show rigging resulted in federal laws and the show HAS TO award the top prize in an error of this type.
Except that it is literally the law that they must award the prize as this is a contest rather than just a simple game.
It’s only fair to give her the $10,000 good for her 😃👍
It is typical that they award the biggest prize in the event of a mistake. There's a behind-the-scenes clip of playing "Any Number" where the board was not working, and they had a discussion in the control room that if it messes up again, the contestant would get the car.
There was one time on the UK Deal or No Deal program where they had an empty box....which was supposed to hold the top amount of £250,000. Because the contestant knocked that out, the remaining amounts (including 250k) were reshuffled.
I remembered that. The producers offered the player to either abandon the game and start from scratch or to take the remaining boxes back and reshuffle the dollar amounts and resume play. The player elected the second option and it just so happened had the game not been interrupted by the technical error he would have knocked out the £250K box! Such a plot twist.
damn.. this show was awesome in it's day
That was the way to handle it. Good job
this is gonna come out of someone pay check
He said "hole stuffer". 😂🤣
Some would say that was rigged. I don't think so. I think it was simple error, so due to that technicality, she got the $10k. Congratz to her. I'm 33 yrs old and I've enjoyed this show since probably 1985(as far back as I can remember). Seeing interesting and big wins never gets old :D
I'm also 33 and can remember this show back to the 80's.
Really. You can remember the show back before you were even a year old? Real believable.
I'm 38 and I remember the show gmfrom back in the 80s
i'm 54 and watched Bob since my teens. RIP
Bob Barker was great. I watched for a long time I was a kid Bob Barker is a celebrity of my childhood.
Price is right has so much class so does bob. Love how if they ever make a mistake they give u the win
You still watching?
we pay for the mistakes on our show i'll tell you lol
Any time they (the show) make a mistake they give the contestant the maximum prize. It isn’t common but has happened a number of times over the years.
Yup. When the contestant here lost at "pushover," they awarded him the prize later because they said it was a Dell computer, when it was actually a HP.. They misrepresented the prize, which is unfair to the contestant, so they gave him the prize.

For some reason, I had to reply with the link in a separate comment, or it wouldn't work.
@@ochsj1971 you are correct on that. In the words of Chuck Woolery, if a game show wants to be legal, and on the air, they have to adhere to the rules. This happened on his version of scrabble where a contestant jumped the gun before he could say go on the speedword in the front game. That contestant was locked out, and he screwed himself.
Jeopardy has made mistakes too. They admit it and give the amount equal to what they should have at that point.
Well here they had no choice but to do it. Standards and practices and Federal law requires it. If you remember the scandals of the 50's...you will understand.
Not necessarily. Theoretically, let's say they had every backstage worker come out and look in every other hole. Given it says on the board how many of each card there are hidden; they could have counted and found out through process of elimination what card was missing (only two $10,000 cards exist.)
Yeah, but in that same theory, having every backstage worker come out on set likely would've required the show to stop tape. That's a waste of money needed to produce the show. And as somebody else said, that couldn't be accomplished without knowing what amount was missing, which requires going through every slot on the board and looking at each amount. If that was the $10K card that wasn't in the hole, it wouldn't have been fair to her since she probably wouldn't have another chance to find it.
No...it doesn't. Most shows will do it for goodwill...but here absolutely is no law that would require them to give the top prize in this case.
As for stopping tape...no big deal. they do it all the time. This was nothing more than a PR move from a show that made a lot of money and could easily absorb the cost of their error.
It's not even a PR move. That's standards and practices. That's what is required by CBS. It's in their policies to award the full amount when this stuff occurs.
I don't think you know what "standards and practices" means. It is simply the show's policy...that they voluntarily do..again, because it is good publicity to do so. And it is a SHOW thing..not a network thing. If CBS tried to start a new game show and it was struggling, they would not award major prizes for a mistake like this.
The Guy Had ONE Job To Do, put A Card in There AND HE FAILED! Bet He Was Fired.
But he got a new job as the guy who hands out the envelopes at the Oscars.
*Steve Harvey
Kind of silly, they should have just had her punch another hole!
I'm sure HE did not get fired. I'm sure it was a woman who screwed this up.
They couldn't do that without knowing what amount was missing. If that was the $10k hole and the card wasn't there, there would have only been one other chance left on the board which wouldn't have been fair to her.
Bob barker and Alex trevek. Best damn game show host ever!
@@Umbra528 Bob Barker is still alive.
Not anymore he died yesterday 😢
this is from march 3 1989
Cheers
Which would be 21,009$ in today’s money.
@@matthewjswider .....so $1000 after taxes?
I love the bloopers!
What a classy guy. From Truth or Consequences to The Price is Right and fighting for animal welfare, he is the ultimate BEST
That sound effect when she wins fires me right the F up.
According to Bob, you're not the only one to get FIRED..
Bob just fired the hole stuffer right there on TV
All I know is someone's hole was stuffed after this.
Does anyone STILL have that electric skillet? Still have the one my mom had in the 80s!!
i have one of those, and one of the hoover brush vacs as well
I had an electric cutting knife that was in the family from "Sears" for many years
I'm sure Bob stuffed many holes during his twilight years.
8=============D (_o_) ;-) hehe
jsciarri it was part of the hiring and keeping your job process
Giggity!
Too bad Bob didn't have 9 models on the show; he could have had a golf course.
Dian Parkinson
Im glad they gave her the 10 grand !
This appears to be from the 80s, so let's say it's 1988. She won $10K. That was half a year's salary for some people back then! In certain parts of the country that would buy you a house! That was life-changing money!
Actually, it aired on March 3, 1989.
@@angrybirdsfan2003 Okay, so I wasn't too far off.
A Price is Right intern was buried in a shallow grave near the CBS studio parking lot following this episode.
Must've been from 1988, cause no stand for that $10,000 was added yet.
electric knife is how most toaster fatalities happen
I remember watching that and laughing and I remember that seeing that crappy stuff in the store the only good thing is the fryer
Good for Bob to so this! Bless his heart!!!!!!❤
RIP Bob
Somebody got fired that day.
Oh we had that electric knife once! Don’t know what we did with it
Back when $10K was a lot of money. I miss those days 😪
10k is still a lot of money to me.
YOU PUNCH THAT HOLE AND GOT... $10000 FOR ZERO PUNCH HOLE!!
Amazing!
There's nothing inside the hole in the C column.
I'll take the big cardboard bill with Bob on it!
and those prices would all be 100 dollars more than they are there.
Alan Madlinski and the older one when he had dark hair. They even made one for Tom Kennedy in the nighttime version from 1985-1986.
Easiest 10k she’s ever earned
I'm wondering if there is anymore of these kinds of funny gaffes in the archives?
Wow well done
Very nice
After taxes, she'll take home about $18.
Wow...if only missing receipts paid off so well 😜
I think there was another blooper on "One Away" Is that available to watch?
Marathon Watching 1/20/21 This will be interesting... what do they do ?
Damn I hope the hole stuffer didn't lose they job that day for a simple mistake!!😬😬😂💰💰
All the beauty models got to keep their jobs when they made mistakes through the years, so it would be a double standard to let this guy go just because he doesn’t have the good looks !
His hole was likely stuffed
This would be $20,800 in todays money. Impressive
lmao!!! You Had One Job Ese!!! 💸💲💰
Good guy Bob Barker.
I'm glad they did this to give her the $10,000. I'm curious though, before the game is played, do they have a record somewhere of what is where in the holes for standards and practices? Also, didn't the letters in "punch board" open up and have stuff in them? It's not her fault nothing was in there so $10k was the right call because it could be the $10k card or $50 card. They're not going to stop tape and find out what's in every hole. Then someone could say... "they changed what was in the hole I punched."
They actually do have not only the frequency of how many prizes are on the board (the 2nd chances have been removed from the game as of a few years ago). Also yes, the letters in punch board did open up to have slips in them, but that was discarded for what we see today. You're also correct in that they're not going to stop tape just to find out what's in each hole, so somebody can change up the game. They only get to shoot two shows a day. The last time tape was stopped down for this long was the infamous perfect showcase showdown bid.
The letters in punch board used to have slips.
The main board had numbers from 1 to 10, while the letters had the words “dollars”, “tens”, “hundreds” or “thousands”.
After a few platings of it that way, the game was streamlined into the version we all know.
And you played for one prize, made the punch, then you tried to win the second punch if you didn’t want to keep the first prize.
Lord have mercy now !
It's only fair she got the 10k they goofed.
It was technically a blooper that the slip was missing, and there was no hole after she punched out. So he gave her $10,000 as a technical win by decision.
It was the Class Act thing to do.
That's the only thing we can do--give her the $10,000.
*DING DING DING DING DING*
And that sound means it's time for one of the backstage crew in charge of the game set-up to be flogged and fired!
👏 awesome.
Unfortunately, Vegas slot attendants have a somewhat different policy when this kind of error occurs.
Somebody probably got fired immediately after the show for that.
She won by default
What year was this?
If you think about it, they should’ve given her even more. What if the missing paper had the second chance on it, and then the second chance she would’ve punched out the $10,000? They should have given her $10,000 plus the maximum dollar amount that the second chance papers have printed on.
They checked the remaining holes, none of them had $10k, so it wouldn't have been possible to win more than $10k.
@@johnnylav Not true, The contestant woulda punched another hole out, that coulda been a $10k hole, or even another 2nd chance hole, leading to a 3rd punch or even a 4th. Top prize was really $10,900 with that back then (there were 4 slips with this on it, ranging from $50 to $500).
That's the way the games work. If there's an error, the contestant wins the prize and the CBS employee loses their job. They're living on streets after the show. ;)
i have to laugh, I have the skillet and shaved ice machine and work great to this day to funny 😂
Arguably even luckier than hitting the 10K legitimately!
What is the airdate?
2:51 i laugh
Good on them giving her the 10k
Bob was the models stuffer
Winning by default.
early twitter mob
Affirmative
Bob Barker was one cool Cat!!!!!!
What year is this?
1989, I do believe. Looks late 80's-ish to me.
2017
30SomethingDerpWoman (Erica) more like 82 or so
Domino Yeah, you're way off. Bob didn't start wearing his hair gray until 1987. This has to be '89.
It must have been after 1989, Bob Barker sounded more like the executive producer talking, not the host (Bob Barker became executive producer of The Price is Right in 1989), it may have been the same person, but you can tell he was playing the executive producer role when he said 'thats absolutely the only thing we can do, you win $10,000.'
Bob slip that card in his jacket he just got to look closely
franktrek1 nope, I rewatched it a few time, he went over and put the 5k card back In the hole, (after looking at it) but he never touched the first hole or went into his pocket
Whoopsie! lolz
Nothing is Everything.
Was there a hole filled with the $10,000 slip?
There were two 10,000 holes. Who knows where it would have been, but had it been in this hole, there was one more.
I bet someone got fired for that mistake!!
They did the right thing .
That $500 he pulled out was also a second chance
James Bonnen no, it only had $500 on it (no 'Second Chance' under it)
Which is why they should have given her more money than $10,000; since she could have punched out the ten grand on her second chance.
@@meloyellowduck that happened on the nighttime version in 1985-86
If this happened on Ellen's show, someone would have been fired.
I miss Bob so much.
A more evil host would have gone all Willy Wonka on her and would have said "You get NOTHING! You LOSE! Good DAY SIR!" (or in this case "Miss")
WOW, 1989 and $10,000. Back then you could buy a car with that kind of money. Those appliances were more likely to last decades. That could've been a downpayment on a house. Man, times back then were simpler.
You're not lying. The last 4-digit cars in the 90s was the Kia Sephia, and the Daewoo line of cars.
wow just gave the the 10K she should have been made to punch a different hole
Not possible: Standards and Practices, and Federal Law makes quite clear what happens if a show makes a mistake on their end. They gotta reward the prizes. Plus it also would not have been fair to her if she had to punch a different hole just only to gamble down to 50 bucks.
I’m not sure what year this was filmed. But in reality, she really didn’t actually get to take home the full $10K. She would’ve had to pay a royalty tax on those winnings.
That’s true of every game show winner. You pay the tax “on income, from whatever source derived”.
Even so, a tax on straight money should be far easier to figure out than one where prizes are won as part of the total (I bet Thom McKee had a time trying to do the taxes on his $312,700 in cash and prizes that he won on Tic Tac Dough in 1980).
3:09 which is fair if it really was empty like that.
