The Price is Right | (6/28/88) 

My pleasure.

Toni Combs I miss your brother a lot he was my favorite FF host he was so funny and I never ever heard a bad word about him and I know if he were still with us he would have found work and been a great host God bless you and your family and may Ray rest in piece

Toni Combs your brother was a funny guy my favorite episodes were the Christmas one when he brought his wife and kids to the show those were fun memories rip Ray

I really enjoyed watching your brother. I miss him, too. I once attended a taping that he hosted. One of my friends CRASHED the stage when the family won their Fast Money. I thought he was going to get in trouble but they acted as if he was part of the family. I am glad Buzzr is now airing the episodes (a small amount but better than nothing) that he hosted on the Feud.

Hey Nick it was really great to hear from you I have my Game Show Network setup to record all of them in hopes of only catching maybe a glimpse of Raymond or even one of his episodes so if you know when he's going to be on if you could please let me know I would so greatly appreciate it and I usually try to put a memorial in the newspaper on the anniversary of his passing that I wrote to him what's been going on 21 years it's hard to believe that someone that meant so much to you give me going in that short of time I still don't understand why I was one of that call from the hospital and I want to know how to get ahold of my parents I was in Hamilton Ohio they said they believe that he didn't have a problem that it was his wife making everything up to this day I can see that because she remarried her orthodontic surgeon I think it was 3 weeks later after a man's supposed to the side we won't know until we meet him again on the other side and he was a devout Mormon and he practice that stuff having a very hard time right now because I have a brain tumor I have lost both of my parents which I took care of both of them up until they pass if you could please keep me posted as to when you think he will be on the show thank you so much and you have a good

walterlv01 sure wished he was here today

Exactly Why can't other people play like at this time

Very well played

You try playing "Temptation" nowadays like that!

A little interesting fact, which is, about 4 years later, Ray appeared once again on TPIR to do a plug for the new Family Feud Challenge and to do an inspiration putt during Hole in One.

And their shows were shot in the same studio as well

"Hole in One...or Two".

And in 1991 and 1993, TPIR participated in Family Feud specials playing with the cast of The Young and the Restless.

Jonny Steele 1956-1996

thank you for remembering him

Ms K Jones I dug those "good answer" remarks from the opposing families.

K Jones so was I

By the time he committed suicide, he was deeply in debt, his house was about to be foreclosed on, and it seemed that he really couldn't hold down a job.

@@brianb.8295 Being fired from Family Feud (in favor of OG host Richard Dawson) would be the beginning of the end for Ray.

I think Chuch Henry visited the TPIR stage to promote NYSI 1989, as I recall.

Tom Kennedy also appeared on TPiR to promote Body Language; though he himself would host a nighttime version of TPiR the following year.

Bob Goen promoted Blackout on Card Sharks but I don't think he ever promoted it on Price.

Bob Goen promoted Wheel of Fortune moving from NBC to CBS daytime in 1989. It was the only non-Goodson game show I recall being plugged during the Barker era of TPIR, but seeing that nightime syndicated Wheel was the number one show in the country at the time, I kind of get the move haha.

+James Bonnen They didn't start doing the ticket plug after the first SCSD until later.

Sometime around October or November 1988, the ticket plug announcement would trade places from before to after the SCSD.
