Vanna White on TPIR 6 20 80
Rest in peace, Mr. Barker🙏🏾Thank you for not only entertaining us but also advocating for all animals...
Indeed!
Yeah but didn't exactly advocate for women.
@@murray8378 thanks for the late night laugh, for a not funny subject.
Seems orchestrated.
He couldn't hear with all the yelling
She had that perfect late 70's early 80's vibe. Very cool
Absolutely!
She wanted the Farrah Fawcett vibe ✨
She was gorgeous. Liked her better as a brunette.
she could fit in any decade
@@easyenetwork2023 Agreed
That lady was turning heads way before she started turning letters 😮😮. Simply perfect.
She sure did. Class act lady.
I was 9 , a great show to watch staying home sick
U old
@michaelgrant7530 yes, lol
Beach, I did the same thing! I'd watch Betwitched, the Jeffersons, the Price is Right, All my Children, Gilligan's Island, I dream of Jeanie, I Love Lucy - LOTS of good reasons to skip school a lot
@@Tessa--LibrarianLovesRick yes, good reason
Wow. "Stunning" doesn't begin to describe young Vanna. I'm glad she had the epic, legendary career that she has.
A legendary career of touching a board and being paid millions for it?😂😂😂
@@elleddiana😂🤣
🤡
Her career is pure genius. Thee never was a greater entertainer than her.
@@elleddiana No one else on the planet can match her legendary status as an entertainer of genius proportions. There's a reason she gets paid millions for what she does. No one else has the talent to do it like her. She is amazing!
R.I.P. Bob Barker! Vanna was an absolute stunner!
Still is.
Man I thought he was still alive
@@dwise2165he passed last August
Pray
Still is. "Attractive in a mature way" is what I call it. She was 23 then, 67 now. Posting 7-5-24.
Vanna was gorgeous back then! Wow! She still is today!
She didn't age well, IMHO.
She was a supermodel
Watching this you would’ve never guessed Vanna would become one of the most recognizable game show co-hosts in history
And she still looks good today on Wheel of Fortune!
I liked her best in Playboy
I could. It would've been a crime for her not to have done SOMETHING with all that natural beauty 😍.
@@merrisshines5182 absolutely,she's naturally just beautiful, especially in the eighties
True
Probably the only time I've seen Vanna White run and all I can say is God bless you!
god did bless her
Truth!😮😮
Get serious....
@@MGillDesign Where is this man you call Serious!?!
@@tylersimpson239 i don't know, but he makes t-shirts.
Just revisiting this memory from 43 years ago following Bob Barker's passing.
I didn't know about this! So cool!
Relax, Bob. I’ve been looking at Vanna on the monitor for almost 50 years now. RIP my friend. 💃🕺✊
I have to say I thought what he said was rude
@@EagerParaglider-vq1zdAgree!
@@EagerParaglider-vq1zd He was getting irritated at everyone asking to repeat and he took it out on poor super hot Vanna
She’s looking at the monitor to see the other contestants guesses because they are written on the front of the podiums where only Bob and the camera can see.
I can’t believe she worked for them after being degraded on TV by him because their stupid game is so poorly setup.
His assumption that she’s “checking herself out” when she’s actually trying to play intelligently despite poor presentation is classic chauvinist male behavior to gain power by degrading other people
@@EagerParaglider-vq1zdMe too! He didn’t comment to the other woman who asked more than once what the other bids were. And Bad Pappy- Great comment! 😂👍
On _Celebrity Wheel of Fortune_ episode that aired on January 14, 2021, where Drew Carey was a contestant when he went to play the bonus round where he was trying to win money for the Cleveland Food Bank Pat Sajak mentioned to him that Vanna White was a contestant on _The Price Is Right_ once and Drew Carey asked her if she still had that shirt that she wore on that episode, to which she replied that she did not.
and she said I didnt win a thing! lol
I wonder how many other Price is Right contestants have gone on to become household names since appearing on the show. Vanna may not have made it onto the stage then but millions of Americans look forward to seeing her on the stage every night as we watch Wheel of Fortune.
@@orvilleherndon Aaron Paul Sturdevant became famous as Jesse Pinkman on Breaking Bad. He was a contestant in January 2000. Eight years later, he became a star. Vanna White is a freaking LEGEND!
Drew is cool and funny but damn he dumb. They literally have to tell him what the spins add up to, no joke. He's gotten better lately and the beard has got to go.
She probably trashed or sold that shirt over thirty years ago. I figured it would be highly unlikely that Vanna would still have it after all this time.
Thanks for giving us the best scene in Happy Gilmore, Bob! RIP
Wow. She was absolutely stunning. 😍
She still is, but yes, yes she was.
Any other average white girl but okay...
@@poohshiesty5624 Go get glasses immediately!! Smh 🤦
@@razzles5338 go smd
@@poohshiesty5624 What a Dork 🤦🏽
She lost this battle but won the war lol
@@hatchedague not nice
Well said Sir
LMFAO!!!!!!
That was the reason she attempted to get on as a contestant on the price is right so she could get noticed it wasn't about winning prizes. A friend or agent suggested her to try it.
Funny that you should mention it like that. At the time, Wheel of Fortune was a direct competitor with The Price is Right in the same time slot. It would remain that way until NBC cancelled daytime Wheel in 1989.
I will always be amazed at the idea of watching something that took place before I was even born into existence. Recorded video will likely be the closest to time travel we ever get... at least in my lifetime.
Between 1989 and 1995, the Wheel of Fortune taped on the exact same stage as the Price is Right at CBS Television City, so Vanna went from being a contestant to working as a model in that same studio..
That episode was memorable for two reasons one was that Bob Barker rip was on his way to becoming an icon and a game show host legend and Vanna White would ultimately go on to become an icon and game show legend herself.
Vanna modeled some prizes on Price’s 50th anniversary show
Really? Is the sky also blue?
She was memorable for right side and left.
I like how Bob flinched when Vanna asked him to read the prices again. Then Bob tells her she is too busy looking at herself in the monitor to pay attention. Lol, you can't make this stuff up.
It was only because he just did it with the previous bidder
I never knew Vanna was so Perky. Hi-Beam surprise 🤣🤣
Think that was rude, trying to embarrass a young woman on national tv. Didn't care for the sexist remark at the beginning either, but that was the era.
He didn't tell her to pay attention.
@Ofthegirl09 Yes he was being a sh-t.
Bob: "And what do you bid, Vanna?"
Vanna: "I don't know. Usually guys just buy stuff for me."
her daughter didn't get so lucky
🤣🤣
🤣
Thank you for that very true and savage statement, Cleveland!!! You about made me howl as loud as a rapid wolf on steroids!!!!
Now that was funny right there. Thanks for the laugh!
Interestingly enough, this episode of The Price Is Right, which featured a then unknown Vanna White as a contestant, aired on June 20, 1980, the same day that the original run of Hollywood Squares aired its final episode!
My birthday is a special date, so happy to have it!❤
I was barely one month old.
Wow. Stunner. She’s gorgeous.
She was absolutely perfect.
She still looks great after all these years my first tv crush❤❤❤
I wouldn't be surprised if they grabbed her information after the show.
Most definitely did some back room dealing after the show.. we're gonna make you a 🌟
They actually grabbed the information of the contestants BEFORE the show. I hate to be "that guy" but the selection of contestants was in no way random... they actually know everything about the contestants, to include their Social Security number, before they so much as see Contestants Row
I was cheering for Vanna! ❤
Still am.
It is kind of bizarre to see Vanna before she became a household name, and i can bet nobody at the time could have ever possibly imagined what was to come just over two years later in late 1982 when she became the new hostess/letter turner on Wheel of Fortune succeeding Susan Stafford. Now she's been with the show for 39 years total combined and forever etched into the upper echelon of game show history.
Kind of a shame she didn't make it out of Contestant's Row, but overall one can point to this episode as where things really started out for her.

Justin Middleton. I was born in 1982(October). And I just heard from the internet not too long ago that Vanna White made an appearance on the Price Is Right back in 1980. And I was like, "Huh, WTF"? I'm still very shocked about it. Which I haven't heard anyone at all mentioned Vanna White being on the Price Is Right as a contestant. Good thing that RUclips have showed me this iconic classic, early 80s recording of the Price Is Right with her on it. 2 years before my time. :-)
@Jim Austin It really is strange and trippy to see this early appearance of Vanna when she was still relatively unknown. Getting the hostess/letter turning position on Wheel in '82 was her big break, and funny how you were born literally right as she was in the middle of doing all that given her audition (among a bunch of other women who also tried out) was in November that year
@@justinmiddleton8818 yes, it is very weird/trippy. In other words, very ironic to see that the internet news feed had thrown some unknown info at me. With Vanna White appearing on the Price Is Right back in 1980. And yes, I did heard about her auditioning for her letter turning gig. A month later after I was born. Back then when Wheel of Fortune was a brand new game show during that time frame.
@Jim Austin Yes, and by that point Pat had been the host for just about a year. Crazy to think he will have been with Wheel for 40 years in a couple months' time. He's already since passed Bob Barker's 35 year run on The Price is Right (out of an impressive 50 year career in television) for longest running host. This now makes him THE longest continuous host of a game show.
Vanna has always been pretty, but she’s never looked better than she did on The Price is Right.
For anyone who hasn’t seen her 1983 Playboy photos, Vanna White was the total package. The face of the 80s, and one of the greatest female forms of all time. Truly stunning.
Two of the most recognizable names in game show history, Vanna White and Bob Barker, and nobody knew.
Vanna is likely the only contestant ever from this show to be laughing all the way to the bank...her net worth is $70 MILLION.
Right? Nice T&A still goes a long way!
@@davejohnsen8540 how was she not offered a Barkers Beauty job?
It's insane...she has the easiest job ever and still got to keep it even as she got old and the letters could light up on its own and made her redundant lol. And she only works on WOF for 4 days a month. But she still has value because people are so used to her.
@Will N that sounds like a lot of work lol
@Will N not too hard. Around the house can literally be anything around the house.
Had no idea she was on the Price Is Right. Thanks for this!
Vanna looking VERY healthy! 👀
Is she sick now??
@@Pamela_Lopezs No he is Saying She is Looking Hot '
@@dancingtrout6719 you got it!
Absolutely gorgeous.
I'd let her buy me dinner
@@herkermerhomolka3603 silly silly man. Then you'll be obligated to ....wait, what am I saying?
@@komitkazi femcel alert
She just appeared on The Price Is Right 50th Anniversary Special as a guest model.
She traded barbs with Drew Carey and he traded barbs with Pat when he was on Wheel
@@booberry349 Professional courtesy in the fantasy world. Model swapping. Game show swinging.
@@booberry349frankenberry. Count Chocula. These are a few of my favorite things.
She was so beautiful...loved the long hair. I've watched her on wheel of fortune my whole life.
Vanna is from Myrtle Beach area. I love it there.
I guess Vanna is better with letters than with numbers.
She would of nailed it if Pat were hosting.
That was a great & funny comment!! 😄
Seems orchestrated.
I'd say better with "lights" lol. From turning block letters to touching electronic letters reveal.
@@MahlonEdwards The letters were physical originally. She had to spin them.
100% natural. No fake breasts. No tattoos.
Just a beautiful woman
creep
her daughter took on modern feminity, the age of blonde stunners has left and gone from america. no more bay watch princesses
she is a 10!!!!
Ya tattoos back then was just on older men.
Yes
✌️ It was cool to see Vanna on the show, also, to see a product from a company I worked for. DP, Diversified Products of Opelika, Alabama.
They should've used this scene for the Bob Barker tribute special.
The bass on the PIR theme is what made the intro magical .
She definitely has that California girl vibe.She would've definitely fit in as one of The Charlie's Angels.
Awe that so cool that Vanna was on there. RIP Bob. I grew up watching all these game shows. I love them. ❤
Vanna was made for game shows!
And Playboy!
@@stevegallant3395 You got that right
Game shows were made for Vanna. And Kate Upton. Well Kate might've struggled with the lit letters a little.
Why are you hitting me Justin V.?
"You're so busy looking at yourself on the monitor" bob snapped on her 😂😂😂😂
If I looked like her I'd be looking at myself too.
@@julia.f.farina I know right?
She was looking at her friend.
He was like come on blondy. He wanted a kiss from her really bad is why.
Bob was very rude with that comment. Shame on him.
Vanna was Beautiful 44 years ago and she's still beautiful Today.
Yeah, she made me get a woody when I was only 7...I loved wheel of fortune.
With lots of plastic surgery.
She’s look SO much better with that long hair!!
And as a brunette.
And in my
Vanna is not very price savvy but she is “very serious” in an impressive way….quite lovely.
Gorgeous Vanna! 😍😍
Gift! Thank you so much. You have a new subscriber.
Bob: "You know, you're so busy looking at yourself on the monitor, you don't know what's going on."
Vana: (I'm gonna make you look at me on the monitor for the next 50 years. Two can play, Bob Barker. You just wait and watch.)
Indeed
Bob probably kicked his own ass by not making her one of Barker's Beauties when he had the chance for the rest of his life. I would if I were Bob.
@@chrismc410Glad she didn't turn out to be one of Barkers beauties...He treated a few of them pretty badly..
Yeah- that was mean of him to say to her on national tv, (tho his spay-neuter campaign at the end of each show was great).
@@bluemoon472 Bob Barker is worse than Cruella DeVille. He announces to the nation to snip your dogs and cats. Imagine if someone told your parents to snip you and they complied.
Oh my goodness this makes me feel good! All the days I skipped school and stayed home watching TV and sewing Barbie clothes etc.
At least Vanna got to be seen pretty much for the entire show LOL!
With the operative word there being "pretty."
@@DOCTORJAN714 exactly lol!
Yeah!!! As a 6 time choker!!!!! Tits. That is the only reason that this scrub ever got the most useless and cushiest braindead activity in television history! Because Merv Griffin dug her slutty rack!!!!
I hadn't thought of it like that, but that's the best way to look at it. It's the silver lining in a dark cloud.
All you guys wanted her to get up there and do the vertical bop I know I did.
Im sure she was looking at the monitor to see the bids. Especially if she's asked last for a bid. Goooo vannaaaa!
This was amazing! Thank you!
Amazing retro funbags!
She had just moved to California earlier that year (1980). But unfortunately, she went back home to South Carolina when her mother was dying of ovarian cancer. After that, she went back out to California again. It took her two years before she became a household name. And the rest they say, is television history.
Vanna was a perfect 10. Flawless goddess.
"You're so busy looking at yourself in the monitor, you don't know what's going on". LMAO
Bob: "Vanna you're too busy looking at yourself in the monitor"...😆
We ALL were.
Who wouldn't
I can't believe he said that 😂😂
That was so rude
@@gunnerfields1647 he was joking without joking. And she probably was looking at herself 🤷
For some context, anyone pursuing an acting career in LA, usually their first stop is Central Casting as an extra. In a very few cases, someone EXTREMELY attractive (which Vanna definitely was), may be approached and referred to a talent agency.
An old technique for getting their client started is to get them tickets as potential contestants on shows like TPIR. The client, given their ticket and told to wear a particular color, or something noticeable to stand out. Producers screen the crowds before the tapping on the lookout for individuals they've been told will be in attendance.
It's no coincidence that she was in the first group called, and yes, they choose positive excited people as well as attractive referee's.
Justine Bateman was on a skit of "Candid Camera", when she was about 12 years old.
no one bid 1 dollar back then? that wouldve saved so many they all kept over bidding
That was the worst bidding I have ever seen on The Price is Right.
Definitely 👍
The last round Vanna could've won if she would've bid a dollar but noooooo! Lol
Letter turning was in her future. 🤪
A dollar in 1980 may as well been fifty cents.
So I guess it’s safe to say Bob Barker paved the path for Vanna White as a contestant on this show. This exposure helped launch her career as a game show host/presenter on Wheel of Fortune!
No it didn't
Wow that was really Vanna White. How interesting was that!
Ouch! "You know you're so busy looking at yourself on the monitor, you don't know what's going on."
Sometimes Bob Barker said things that was a bit rude. I don't think she was looking at herself but rather trying to see the bids.
However I enjoyed watching him on, "The Price is Right".
Vanna pretty then and pretty now. She has made a great career for herself.
1:30 Such beauty
... yes and she seems sweet as well
Without a doubt
Van a true California girl. All natural and drop dead beautiful
I saw that episode. I like her shirt that said”Get Serious”. She started flipping letters on Wheel of Fortune 3 years later and is still doing it today.
I have been to a taping of the price is right.. Contestants are not picked randomly.. everyone is interviewed before going in to the studio
Wait, what 😳? You mean to tell me people know beforehand they will be called. Big people stop sitting at the far end of the row please.
@@Moose803 no, they don't know ahead of time, but they are hand picked..they are not just drawing names
June 1980 WE GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL IN CALIFORNIA 🌴🎄 it was a great year 🎉
a couple of years after she competed in the Miss Georgia USA 1978 pageant
You watch Price here and the show absolutely pops with energy and excitement. I watched it the other day. Its exactly the same show but it has no pop. Its like they've muted the music and excitement or something
Damn she's so beautiful.
Vanna mentions one of the interviews that she didn't win a "doggone thing" on The Price is Right. And 2 years later, she turned the letters on Wheel. Who else misses Bob Barker? RIP Bob!
Thank you Vanna White for providing America with over forty years of brilliant entertainment gold. You are the greatest entertainer the world has ever seen.
I think that may be a bit of an exaggeration
@@dovetunes name me anyone else who is a greater entertainer than her. I challenge you
🤡
@@EinSofQuesterPauly Shore, Carrot Top, Sinbad.
@@JosephHowes2003 Are you serious? These people are not even worthy of kissing her glorious feet. Vana White is a genius. She is the greatest human being alive today.
Damn, what a pivotal moment in history for Vanna captured on camera. Without this selection of being a contestant, she would never have been noticed by the show producers for Wheel (they would review footage for on-camera attraction) and would have lead a completely different life, not to mention the dynamic duo of Pat Sajak on Wheel may have never been. If she had just slept-in that day, decided to go shopping or some other activity, or just decided it wasn't worth her time is all it would have taken.
Also, how crazy is it that this is the only time I have ever seen Vanna White without makeup on. Makes Me want to invent time travel, it really does.
The natural look of the era flattered her.
I'm a third of the way with time travel. This coming March 20, 2023 will be my 20th year owning a 1983 DeLorean. Need plutonium and a flux capacitor
@@chrismc410Man that's awesome!! It's my dream to own one. Good luck on that Flux capacitor😅
crimsontide1980 took a lot of blood sweat and tears. Was $18,500 ish when I got mine, likely close to double that in today's money. Not selling had too long
@chrismc410 don't blame ya a bit!! No way I'd ever sell. One of the most iconic cars ever, at least from a movie standpoint. Is yours gray?
Somebody should recreate that "Get Serious" shirt. I'd buy that.
Though I couldn't do it the justice that young Vanna does...
Dude can't make a simple shirt. Jesus wept.
Absolutely gorgeous, wow. Stunner.
"What do you say, Vanna?" "I'd like to buy a vowel".
Watching this as an adult and realizing that this entire show was one big ad for products. Boy, they got us 😂
The same day this episode aired on CBS, NBC aired the finales of three game shows--The Hollywood Squares, High Rollers, and Chain Reaction.
😥
One of my favorite shows.
She is better with letters than numbers.
As a kid vanna white was like the playboy stash you had if you grew up in the 80s and 90s 😂😂😂
*Drop Dead Gorgeous!!!*
Bob told Vanna she was so busy looking at herself on the monitors!!!😮 I bet she still does, but she's earned the right now! What a lovely person she is still, all these years later
Vanna White from Wheel Of Fortune is a contestant on King Bob Barker's The Price Is Right! Wonderful!
Who knew that she would reinvent the game show model into a whole new art form.😊❤
Vanna White was not the last person who lose this battle and won the War in 2000 Breaking Bad actor Aaron Paul was on The Price is Right but however he got out of Contests row and made it to the Showcase But lost in an Overbid to a Sports Car
It's called a ringer.... Back in the late 70's- 1990 my Uncle worked as a security guard at Studio City and was on just about every game show atleast twice. He was Family Feud along with several co-workers as a "Family" a half dozen times, When they have a contestant who's winning too much they send in a ringer to dethrone them and in cases like Price is Right they send them in to occupy a spot on the show. Vanna was already working for CBS then, She started working for them in June 1980........
TheREALOC1972. That makes no sense. On FF you could only win 5 times and on TPIR there was no such thing as a winning streak. Winners didn't go back to contestants row. Quit lying or get educated.
@@komitkazi on FF you could win $20,0000 5 times, that's 100k, that was ALOT of money back then in the 70's and 80's when the average house was 25k. The Prices is Right would bring in ringers so they wouldn't give away too much in 1 show. YOU need to get educated on television shows actually work.
TV is a scam.
"You're so busy looking at yourself in the monitor you don't know what's going on." Oh my!!! Bob called her out on national television. But a few years later she appeared on everyone's tv for what...20+ years?
The last woman asked twice about the other bids and he said nothing snarky. Vanna asked for a repeat once after being at the podium the entire show and he had a comment about her looks. I think he was more interested in her looks than she was and he was projecting.
I agree.
Back then people didn't understand the concept of bidding $1 over someone else or just bidding $1
Bob wishing there was a new game called Jump Around.
Little known fact- She threw the game for more screen time. 👧💡🎉 Freakin Genius!!!!
Still looks the same as she did back then. Simply Ageless Beauty of the Screen.
Nice to see she also appear on this show. Kinda makes me wonder how it would've been had she manged to win a bid and then gone to the games.
She is absolutely gorgeous 🥰
My dad was once neighbors with Bob Baker. In the 70s my dad's cousin won the lottery and they got up and drove their Harvey Davison bikes across country and settled in California and lived there and partied up til the money was gone lol. When the money was still good they lived near Bob. I believe San Diego if i remember correctly
