TPIR Close 1981- Wardrobe Malfunction 

That Price Is Right logo at the end couldn't have been timed any worse!

1:51 my favorite part of the clip!

Hey Holly, Thanks for 1:51 on this video. You have always been my favorite hostess even without flashing me. THANKS!

I knew it was Holly before I watched the clip...She seemed to be front and centre when it came to bloopers

Damn...Holly could dance a lil bit.

That wasn't a malfunction, THAT was a blessing for mankind, however brief!!!

I just think it awesome that they're playing "Celebration".

Gosh, there's nothing like a tall glass of Holly!

Only one word to describe the song "celebration" by kool and the gang playing during the closing credits of The Price Is Right" -- EPIC!

Unfortunately, The Price Is Right logo blocked it.

Those were great days .

Woooow!!! This program was in air a couple of years before I was born!!! 42 years ago!!!😮

holly was my favorate beauty

I guarantee a kid watching this live as it happened grew up to invent HDTV

I was only thirteen but had a manly crush on this beauty.

They played this song because a jukebox with this song in it was one of the prizes she won.

Hell, Johnny Olson was the "double showcase" winner on that taping!

NOBODY...NOBODY....will ever be better on the TPIR...then Bob Barker...he was made for the show!

"You are one of our biggest winners ever! Now, this gentleman from the IRS would like to have a word with you...."

This episode was just on Pluto TV the other night. Had no idea what they were even doing LOL....40 years later.

I love how Johnny just laughs at her and Bob is the one covering her with his suit.

The woman in silver IS Dian. Janice is in the red, Holly in black.

*Kool and the Gang* literally says, _"Yahoo! ...it's a celebration,"_ at precisely the right time

all of them were great.

The girl in the silver dress..oops. What an awesome show this was, I grew up on this show, ahh the days of sitting home watching people bid for prizes and play plink-o. :)

They were gettin' down. The only thing missing was the Soul Train Line---lol

a jukebox was one of the prizes the contestant won. And also, she was on of the biggest winners of the time, reason to "celebrate".

This was from their New Year's Eve broadcast. For a few years, they always played Kool and the Gang's "Celebration", on these episodes.

lol geez that and janet jackson at super bowl 38 are the best in CBS history

Ah those were the days with Barker's Beauty's.

A Cadillac Coupe de VIlle, a Jukebox, plus some other stuff which I can't remember off the top of my head.

Holly was always my favorite.

It was after his wife Dorothy Jo died in October of 1981.

I've 'cleaned up' Yolanda on my channel. This was awesome! Bob was sporting the beige/brown sport suit like a champ. Johnny Olson can't dance 😆

I love now the blinking numbers on the podium sync with the audience clapping to the song.

Holly and Mary Ann. As guys get older and wiser, they start leaning toward the Hollys and Mary Ann types.

Dammit, Bob and Johnny, move out of the way!!!

I think Bob thought Johnny was moving in on his Piece

"come and get it!" Bob Barker said no you fool it's "come on down"

Dian would have intentionally lost her top, if they would have let her!

I also loved watching Janice dance to a jukebox. they were bidding on. she could swing those hips. That was why Bob Barker stayed so long

Before Bob Barker close each episode of The Price Is Right saying, “Help control the pet population, have your pets spayed or neutered.”

What fun this show was every day. So lucky ro have grown up in those times.. born in 1060.

1:52 - Just as 'The Price is Right' logo is almost wiped from the screen, you'll see it.

Also, there were a few times other music was used instead of the regular theme, only if someone won the showcase that involved other music instead. A few instances include Tarantella after someone won the showcase including a trip to Italy, several instances of The Stars and Stripes Forever during patriotic showcases if won as well as salutes to troops. Also, Sleigh Ride (Leroy Anderson's version) was a frequent Christmas closing except for one episode that had an instrumental of Jingle Bell Rock.

I love cool and the gang.

rrunner, sorry, but it was Holly Hallstrom who had the 'wardrobe malfunction'..NOT Dian..

Yes, I still do think Yolanda was the only one to lose her top on this show. Got a problem with that? :-P J/K. These occurances aren't as rare on TV these days as they once were, if it were to happen now, it would be considered ordinary. :-)

Bobby Barker getting all the beaver

TPIR needs to go back to this (not the wardrobe malfunction, but more airtime for the contestants). After the showcase, Drew can do a voiceover, instead of crowding the shot, and show the excited winners.

Does anybody know the song that plays when the girls show the dresses? It’s October 16th 1981. *Not Celebration by Kool & The Gang*, the disco song that plays before Celebration - “Dancin..” when Holly has the first malfunction.

Didn’t see nothing but Bob barker probably seen a lot more !!!!!😜😜😝😝 and Johnny Olsen

This episode aired October 16, 1981.

I wonder if any Price is Right episodes back then ever used The Jacksons song "Shake Your Body Down To The Ground" during the closing credits?

Wow. That was before he said have your pets spayed or neutered.

at 1:04 holly lost an earring, at 1:20 she had to tug at the dress.

Damn credits..

I think I know where to find it I'll look and post it when I can.

The lady in silver, Dian, also had a WM? So both commnets would be correct.

As WilLWatchAnything mentioned in any early post, "Celebrate" was one of the songs on the jukebox offered in her showcase.

Long before Janet Jackson ever thought of it. 🤣

I remember watching prices right back then I had such a crush on Halle, one of the other models what does Diane and I can’t remember the third one.👍😁😎

I hated that the shows from 1980-1996 had the credits on the crawl screen. If I was them, I would've pulled a "Family Feud" 1982-1985 and had the credits chyroned. My ideal font: the one seen on "Late Night with David Letterman" from around this time.

All you guys are old me too...

Some things cannot be contained by conventional methods.

@pspguy28 Yeah, exactly when did he first start saying that?

27.5k in 1981? That's got to be about $80k today..

That's a girl Holly give us a quick flash similar thing happened to Dian when she was wearing a nice a nice black short v neck dress which was quite low cut to start with anyhow it starts to rip open showing off a little more than she hoped for

Holly. Now I know who Taylor Swift has reminded me of all this time.

GREAT SHOW 👍 LOVE IT 🤩❤️ . # 1

@starstarstar42 He probably tapped a good majority of them. So what's the big deal about that?

Lol now that was funny!😄😉

He didn't start saying that until aorund 1985 or so.

. . . . Everything is Right over at "The Price is Right" .

Had I seen this episode back in the day, Holly would have been my favourite instead of Dian! XD

It's now posted as my latest video.

A $23,000 showcase back then? WOW!

She won $27456 that is a showcase average. showcases averages 26000 grand

Obviously it was one of the models who was having a wardrobe malfunction! And in those days, Bob didn't urge people to have their pets spayed or neutered!

So are the new ones.

*clicks the gear* ... dangit! 240p is the max resolution LOL :D

@pspguy28 he started doing that after his wife died, who was a huge animal activist. It was in respect for her, and her work.

I wish the person who posted this had shown us the enitre showcase she won...I actually remembered this episode from when I was 8 years old, and would have enjoy seeing her showcased described by Johnny. All 3 party dresses were part of her showacse also. Any chance of posting the enitre showcase?

The price wasn’t right… for double-sided sticky tape. Apparently.

gr8 song at the generic 80's was a real KOOL AND THE GANGZ era for america

Ah the good of days of using unlicensed music LOL

couldn't see??¡!¡!😲

Rip bob

Wasn't this the first show of the 10th year?

@tyrese3745 not quite. You were required to be "retired" as a champion, but you kept what you won that day. PYL and Pyramid had $25K+ winners all the time, including Michael Larson. TPIR did not have champions, so that's a moot point for that show.

What a rare clip! Before the "spayed and neutered speech!" When did that start anyway? I remember the first time I heard it but cannot remember when it was.

I think so.

This kind of stuff always happens to Holly...

Pause at 1:52! Then you will see.

oh well, too bad this isn't in HD tv...........

Well maybe if they didn't wear stuff with no top straps like that they wouldn't have to worry about it falling off and flashing people.

why were they playing "celebrate" as the ending anyway?

Did I actually see what I thought I did

There was one episode on TPIR where the Go-Go's song "Our Lips Are Sealed" was playing on the jukebox during one of the showcases. Does anyone know what the air date of that episode was? On that episode, was it also used during the closing credits?

@jeopardywatcher only if the pants rip cause of it.....lol!
