Yep, Press Your Luck ran from September 1983 to September 1986, joined The Price is Right in February 1986. So he did both until Press Your Luck ended.
On the Price is Right, they showed the game announcers and he started wearing the suits, Bob Barker noticed the colourful suits and Bob made Rod's suits part of the show and Rod started going to Bangkok to get them specially done.
@@christopherlucas4620 Ron Pearson on Shopping Spree on FAM on the 2/18/1997 mentioned the then-fairly new Interner game show community thanking them for the support of that show.
There was also another episode of PYL before this one where they showed on camera for the first time on PYL and on that ep. they turned on all the studio lights by the audience by where Rod was at.
Peter mispronounced the town that Jay was from, it's Meh-dine-a not Me-deen-a, Medina,Ohio. It's a small farming town 33 miles southwest of Cleveland,Ohio. Source: I used to live there.

I found his personality refreshingly effervescent
Definitely before he started announcing TPIR because he was seen every morning on TPIR.
Adam B. Smith from Carruthers Company to Mark Goodson Productions.What a transition!

He was a very popular DJ in the Dallas area in the 70s. A controversial one too! Boy did he show them... 😂
RIP Rod Roddy. Kind of strange to see him without his trademark sparkly jacket, and actually looking rather disheveled.
On the Price is Right, they showed the game announcers and he started wearing the suits, Bob Barker noticed the colourful suits and Bob made Rod's suits part of the show and Rod started going to Bangkok to get them specially done.
The jackets became his trademark, since technically the phrase "Come on down!" started from day one of TPIR with Johnny Olson.
Rod Roddy is my favorite
Come on Down!
He'll be getting plenty of camera time a couple of years after this.
I hope they show this one on Buzzr.
wasn't Rod Roddy the voice from the game show The Price is Right?
Alexander Colon it is the Rod Roddy that served as the announcer of TPiR from 1986 until his death in 2003
Of course he was!
T Jay was a poster on Usenet alt.tv.game-shows
Bob actually mentioned this newsgroup in a 1997 episode of TPiR (yeah I know this post is 8 years old)

Oh, if they only knew how much exposure Rod would get in later years…because the PRICE was RIGHT!
Who was playing in this episode?!
They mispronounced my city's name.
Indeed, I noticed that too. Muh-dine-uh, not muh-dean-uh
