We Get A Live Episode of The Price is Right Before GTA6‽
The show will go LIVE on CBS in the fall.
Live game shows aren’t easy to pull off. From technical issues to standards and practices judging, game shows tend to leave nothing to chance when it comes to their broadcasted product.
But that’s about to change.
Today, CBS announced that in Christmas of 2026, The Price is Right will air a live episode of the hit daytime game show. “For the first time in its 54-year history on CBS, THE PRICE IS RIGHT will air live, transforming television’s longest-running game show into a must-watch holiday primetime television event.”
According to the release:
Viewers gain unprecedented behind-the-scenes access alongside host Drew Carey, announcer George Gray, the models and the production team as they race to keep the show on track-resetting games, transforming the stage and beating the clock. Lucky contestants will “Come on down!” to play fan-favorite games Plinko, Cliffhangers and Lucky Seven, before spinning The Big Wheel for a shot at a luxury showcase – all played out live.
For game show nuts, they will recognize this format as something along the lines of 1994’s the New Price is Right, which works pretty well, and it looks like they’ll be pulling back the curtain a little bit to show the production team moving and breaking down the games, which is neat and I’m looking forward to seeing what the final product looks like.
This must be a gut punch to Michael Davies, who has discussed in the past his dream to air Jeopardy! live someday. Come on, Mike, it’s not that hard, I do it every year!
