How long does it take for Rod Roddy to keep calling your name before he moves on? Only 68 seconds, apparently. Confusion arises when a contestant doesn't respond, but Bob unravels the mystery before the second pricing game.
68 seconds! I can’t believe this made it on air as is. Surely, they’d have stopped & reset these days. Reminds me how much I miss those moments on game shows when things go wrong...
If you watch The Perfect Bid when they do these shows to time then you don't need to edit these moments out. For all the models chats and bloopers/extras we got in earlier years they seemed to be a machine on doing these shows efficiently.
I think it really comes through in this clip, but Rod Roddy was a very jovial person, and fairly unflappable in his duties as an announcer. I was a guest of the show in the early 1990s and got to meet Rod during rehearsal before the audience was loaded. He couldn't have been nicer. A real pro. Rest in peace, Rod Roddy.
I attended 7 tapings in 2018-2019 and I don’t like how you have to read the name on the card because you can’t even hear the persons name being called because the crowd is insanely loud. I liked these days when they told the audience to be quiet when people were getting called down
I attended a taping of the show in the early 2000's and it is extremly noisy in the studio. It is so loud that you cant hear the announcer especially during the intro when they are calling the first four contestants. So they use large cue cards with the contestants name on them. Its possible that the wrong name was on the cue card, so she never came on down. After the commercial break when they go to call the next contestant, the audience is quiet until the next name is called it was at this point that Nicole could hear her name clearly. This is of course my guess based on when I observed when i was there.
Wonder if the CBS ticketing department's computers hit a stack overflow the night before...? Well, anyway... OK, Bob, Rod and Contestants' Row; everyone back to your places, and let's take it from the top again.
@@a.grimes4202 looking back on it now i dont know whats more strange. bob getting barrington out of thorenson or them getting thorenson out of thornbrough
@@GarryGriffy Yeah it’s like that audio file from a few years ago that went viral, where some people heard one name and others heard another? Sorry I’m drawing a blank on the names, but I’m sure you know the meme to which I refer.
