I get having a wheelchair ramp on the stage requires a lot of work but it would be nice to see more folks on the show regardless of their "disability". I speak this as someone that is legally blind.
I remember one episode of The Price is Right where a deaf lady almost tried to win a new car but she failed. Well here's the thing about that young lady I don't think she wanted to drive that car anyway first of all she's deaf and how can she be able to drive a car when she can't hear which makes me think what's going to be next a blind man trying to win $10,000 so that he could lose his social security benefits? Well I can tell you this much right now I think we're going to start seeing a lot more of this before too long because I can tell you this much right now once these people come on that's just it. So I predicted the next person will probably be coming on the show during the 50th season when it comes out will possibly either be another death another death lady or a blind person who's totally blind and can't see at all.
They are very good about adapting the games for wheelchair contestants. There is a clip of a wheelchair contestant playing Switcheroo. Just like this game, they had the contestant direct a model to place the blocks, and they let the contestant have 60 instead of 30 seconds to do it.
As a real life singing Superheroine and a disability civil rights activist, this was some serious TV history and for inclusion of contestants with disabilities. Thank you Bob Barker, Mark Goodson (RIP) Bill Todman (RIP) and Fremantle for making television history of inclusion of people with disabilities. You all are Disabled But Able To Rock and I hope that Fremantle does Real Life Superhero Week on The Price Is Right. I AM DANGER WOMAN AND I AM OLMSTEAD!
@@blind_t2, in your case, they would use descriptions, on the SAP. If you play The Price Is Right and they call your name, make sure that the usher gets you to Contestant's Row. If you win, you and the Usher will take you to Drew Carry. And, make sure it has Braile and or Large Print or audio description. DANGER WOMAN
Danger Woman true! In all my years of watching price, I’ve not yet seen a totally blind contestant play. I’d be more interested in a cash game than a car. The only time I’d go for a car game is when they bring out the self driving cars. Although a vacation would be nice.
I know that Punch A Bunch is easy. On the Plinko game, they should put Braille on the chips. The Showcase Showdown has large numbers, but I know that the Usher would help you. If you get to $1.00, you must get 15 or 5 cents, in order to get more money. On The Showcase, the podium has large letters and you must guess the correct price. If it is less than $500.00 on your showcase, you would win both showcases and a great victory for people who are blind and visually impaired. And, The Federation of The Blind and Visually Impaired would laud you and Drew Carry for inclusion of people who are blind and visually challenged . By the way, they would also promote Guilding Eyes For The Blind and they will give you a seeing eye dog. By the way, I knew a seeing eye watchdog who has good tastes for the ladies, both human and 🐕 dog. He can't help it if he is so cute. I hope that my information will be of great help in making 📺 history, her story even. DANGER WOMAN
@@blind_t2 I dont recall a blind contestant on tpir either, they've a few deaf contestants, in which they allow a sign language interpreter to be there with them. There was at least one blind contestant on Jeopardy: Eddie Timanus. He actually did very well; 5 time champion. To accommodate him he was given a card with the categories for the round written in braile, and a typewriter was wired into his podium so he could type his final jeopardy response. When he returned years later for the ultimate tournament of champions, they added an audible tone (a little "ping noise") to the visual cue contestants normally see to know when the buzzers are activated.
40:39 It's rare to see that someone has won Cover-Up on the very first try! If that had happened on one of the MDS shows, he'd be a car winner + a Millionaire. Janice was so sweet throughout this show and also helping Paul out with his gameplay.
There is so much assistive technology these days, like hand controls, that persons with disabled legs do operate cars. I wouldn't be surprised if blind folks can drive one day.
Not a wheelchair contestant. A contestant who just happens to be in a wheelchair. I’m a full time wheelchair user myself, but the chair is not what I’m about. We’re human beings first, wheelchair users second.
Perhaps it had been such a long time, that he didn't remember. You need to keep in mind that there are more than 60 games on this program. How can anyone consistently remember the winning status of all of those games.
If you pause the video at 38:44, you’ll see a camera to the right. On the wall above that camera is a list of all the games that they will play for the entire show. When I was in the audience once, I was able to see the sign from my vantage point and knew the games ahead of time that were going to be featured.
I read where they had to stop taping just to get the wheelchair contestant to the right area. Good thing they didn't play Hole in One or the Race Game.
There was definitely an edit after Bob read the actual retail price for the bar set. They go up the stage right aisle yet the next shot Paul is coming from by the announcer's podium which is at stage left (Rods bright yellow jacket made the location obvious). Was still awesome they did this. The new Haven Studio will be better equipped to accommodate contestants with mobility impairments aside from turntable games where this ramp will still be needed.
Scott beat the house on that Hi-Lo game - that was a very difficult setup with those items and those prices. I don't think the producers were expecting that game to be won that day.
It's interesting to see how the culture has changed. People are more brazen in speech, they dress down to be on t.v. and the high-five-ing is kind of ridiculous. Sorry. I miss the 70s.
@@bonchbonch and of all the examples this guy uses for “screaming, fainting, and acting like fools”, he uses _TPIR?_ jesus christ, i’ve heard of shifting facts for the sake of nostalgia but this is just plain wrong. that episode of price where someone actually, honest to god fainted was in the _80s!_
When Rod did that double take on the very long options list for that truck in the Showcase, I get the impression he thought it was trying to list "steering wheel" as an option, rather than steering wheel-mounted stereo controls. I could see myself getting tripped up the same way, honestly.
Hi. My name is Marjorie. I use triple absorbent Depends to handle my out-of-control bowl movements. If I'm in traffic and can't pull-over in time, my triple absorbent Depends can handle the load!
here's what aired in primetime: ABC: 20/20, Monday Night Football (San Francisco 49ers at Arizona Cardinals) CBS: The King of Queens (Female Problems), Ladies Man (Boys Can't Help It), Everybody Loves Raymond (The Can Opener), Becker (Imm-Oral Fixations), Family Law (Damages) Fox: That '70s Show (back-to-back), Ally McBeal (repeat) NBC: Suddenly Susan (The Billboard), Veronica's Closet (Veronica's June Swoon), Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (A Single Life), Dateline NBC UPN: Moesha (repeat), The Parkers (The Boomerang Effect), Grown Ups (repeat), Malcolm & Eddie (Clubbed) The WB: 7th Heaven (Life Is Too Beautiful), Safe Harbor (Can't Touch That) In late night: The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (Richard Simmons, Garth Brooks), Late Show with David Letterman (Kevin Pollak, Tom Waits), Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn (Ice Cube, Nancy Travis)
The _MNF_ game also featured Steve Young's career-ending injury. Aeneas Williams sacked Young, resulting in a concussion. He'd miss the rest of the regular season due to the concussion-- the seventh in his career-- and would retire after the season.
Yes I also remember that episode as well it kind of makes me think that that contest never turned down the car cuz he's in a wheelchair because a lot of us know people in wheelchairs can't drive especially in that condition
I was born with Spina Bifida and I walk with a leg brace and crutches and I am only 3'10. I got my first job in 1988...and I bpught a 1988 Mustang. I drove with a special made seat cushion and hand controls. 2 months after this episode I bought a 2000 Toyota Celica. I loved that car and had it 19 yrs. I am 55 yrs old now and can no longer drive because of neurological reasons. But there are people in wheelchairs who can transfer into the drivers seat and drive with hand controls. People with all kinds of disabilities can drive these days. It would be easier for a person In a wheelchair to drive a van with a lift or ramp. It just depends on their situation and what they can afford.
Will everyone please stop calling them wheelchair contestants?! We people in wheelchairs are human beings first, and wheelchair users a distant second.
Although Bob was a creep offstage, he always treated every contestant with dignity and respect. Has there ever been a blind or deaf contestant on the show? I know Family Feud once had a blind contestant.
The fact they had a wheelchair bond contestant and had that ramp to me seems like this might have been a little staged. I’ve never even seen an episode with someone with a cane come up on stage.
Imad Khuri, if you need more ideas in uploading from Your throwbacks you should upload 9/30/99 (when they played Bargain Bar for the 2nd time the same week), 10/11/99 ( when no game with grocery items was played) ,10/14/99 (Janice's birthday),10/15/99 (cliff hanger wasn't moved with items all right), 11/5/99 (Bob gave a constant $5) 11/19/99 (Bob's first show after surgery) 11/22/99 (contestant aiming for the car in Hole in one) by all means take your time those suggestions on moments from season 28 after 20 years on those airdate.
I do remember that episode where that man in the wheelchair wins a new car on the show but since he can't drive it he probably most likely gave it to somebody else or turned it down. Other than that if he would have won $10,000 to go with it guess what he would have lost his social security because that's considered earned income
The fact that Bob Barker didn’t even mention Paul's disability shows that he saw everyone equally. R.I.P. Bob Barker.
I get having a wheelchair ramp on the stage requires a lot of work but it would be nice to see more folks on the show regardless of their "disability". I speak this as someone that is legally blind.
Great show! It's very rare someone wins Cover Up on the first try. RIP Bob Barker and Rod Roddy.
I remember watching this episode when it first aired! It was so nice to see Janice Pennington helping out the contestant. I miss Janice!
I miss her, too!
Janice will always be a favorite among those who grew up watching her work her magic on stage.
@Rosanne Rosanne yeah someone said if only barker treated people like he does animals

It was a perfect win in “Cover-Up” without making a mistake, and this never happened before when a contestant was on a wheelchair winning a car.
It seems like Bob was condescending, the way he patted Paul on the shoulder.
I have this episode on tape. I thought it was neat having a wheelchair contestant win a car. Very, very few people in wheelchairs do drive vehicles.
Anyone in a wheelchair can drive a car as long as they're able to use their arms and hands 😁
There is so much assistive technology these days, like hand controls, that persons with disabled legs do operate cars. I wouldn't be surprised if blind folks can drive one day.
Not a wheelchair contestant. A contestant who just happens to be in a wheelchair. I’m a full time wheelchair user myself, but the chair is not what I’m about. We’re human beings first, wheelchair users second.
@@TheMswilson123 - There's a guy who drives with only his feet. He was born without hands/arms.
Funny how Drew always says no one's ever won it on the first try. LOL
That was my first thought when I saw the title!
Well, no one might have won it the first try...on _his_ watch.
This guy just did!!!! 😉
I think he means during the time he has been host…not including the Bob barker era.
Perhaps it had been such a long time, that he didn't remember. You need to keep in mind that there are more than 60 games on this program. How can anyone consistently remember the winning status of all of those games.

I remember in 2003 another Wheelchair contestant played switcheroo and Bob was spinning for him and didn't get the wheel around.
I remember that Conseco Insurance commercial always took up the entire last commercial break during "The Price is Right" during that time.
38:15-41:00 long live Paul 👑
I read where they had to stop taping just to get the wheelchair contestant to the right area. Good thing they didn't play Hole in One or the Race Game.

Was still awesome they did this. The new Haven Studio will be better equipped to accommodate contestants with mobility impairments aside from turntable games where this ramp will still be needed.
@@davidwayneprins It wouldn't shock me if the show had his name as "Call Down when Green Podium comes open", as that ramp was most accessible.
That was the first time a contestant got the actual price of the car right on the money!!!!!
I think that was the only time I ever a saw a page ("orange jacket") come on stage. Glad to them doing this for a handicapped contestant.
I must have been at school when this episode was on TV I don't remember seeing it on TV
Proof for Drew Carey that people have in fact won Cover Up on the first try.
Too many pop-up ads interrupting the progress. :(
37:32 i don't know why they showed 50 other shows before this. We came for what the title said.
Is it me, or does this 1999 still looks like 80s? By the way, Thanks for including these Classic Commercials.
That Dodge Ram Sport is one good looking truck
WOW it took almost 30 years to install a ramp.
Barker's Bargain Bar looks like a first generation set piece.
Paul did excellent on Cover Up.😀👍
I been watching the King of Queens of reruns TBS or Fox but I act saw when King of Queen were all new going back in time
Scott beat the house on that Hi-Lo game - that was a very difficult setup with those items and those prices. I don't think the producers were expecting that game to be won that day.
He had a one in seven-hundred and twenty (720) chance of getting that right on his first try just guessing alone! (2*3*4*5*6=720)
The caption should read: 1st Wheelchair-using contestant who wins Cover Up on 1st try!
Suggestion: 1st WC-using contestant who wins Cover Up on 1st try!
Yes. This wheelchair user thanks you for that.👏
Lucky 7 is a tough guessing game. Was never big on it. Plinko has always been my favorite of all
Of course, with the move to Haven - it's much easier for physically disabled contestants to get onto the stage with the removal of the audience pit.
The day you uploaded this, it was 1 day ago (20 years) since that aired
It's interesting to see how the culture has changed. People are more brazen in speech, they dress down to be on t.v. and the high-five-ing is kind of ridiculous. Sorry. I miss the 70s.
The times didn't change. You did.
The good old days.. When contestants didn't act like fools, screaming at the top of their lungs, fainting, and just being clowns..
1999 is the good old days when people acted calm on TV? What? This was the era of the Jerry Springer show, for crying out loud.

Little did the viewers watching the way Scott played Hi-Lo know that he would be the precursor to Anita of Hole in One fame.
It's nice to help out the disabilities. 😀👍
And it’s nice to know that we do not want, need, or deserve pity or charity.
I was so hoping SCOTT won!
Haha, he sure know all the prices of the products for the high and low game, hahahahahahahahahahahaha. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just had a thought... Did the the bidders know in advance that they would be picked? They look very good under the stage lights
Has that Cover Up rarity happened with Drew, yet?
Geico Direct 42:02
There should be a wheelchair-using contestant every month.
Take no offense Drew, this game show has to go to someone with a connection with the audience like Bob Barker had.
I'd rather watch old Bob Barker reruns then watch Drew Carey, he's such a giant bore!!!
4:06........That sounds familiar.....
Although Bob was a creep offstage, he always treated every contestant with dignity and respect. Has there ever been a blind or deaf contestant on the show? I know Family Feud once had a blind contestant.
There was a deaf contestant in the pre COVID days of the Drew era. They played One Away. The contestant had a sign language interpreter

It's nice to see the first thing you see is somebody getting singled out in a wheelchair
Apparently jose has never watched tpir or failed math
“First contestant in a wheelchair,” not the “first wheelchair contestant.” I use a wheelchair myself.
