Trivia

The final three pricing games played on Bob Barker's final show ('Double Prices', 'Bonus Game', and 'Any Number') were the first three games played on his first show, but in reverse order. On Decades week on the season 44 premiere in September 2015 the games were replayed in the same order as the show's premiere on September 4th 1972, and on June 26th 2023 the final show in the Bob Barker studio 33 to air, the games were again played in the reverse order.

On October 31, 2006, Bob Barker announced he would be stepping down from his duties and retiring after 35 years as host of this show and the face of CBS Daytime. Barker hosted his last episode on June 15, 2007. It aired in the regular daytime spot and again in prime time as a lead in to The 34th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards (2007).

Las Vegas TV meteorologist Terry Kniess and his wife, Linda, discovered that prizes with particular prices tended to repeat in predictable patterns. They watched recordings of the show for months to detect, analyze, and memorize those patterns. Terry managed to be picked as a contestant for the taping of the December 16, 2008 show. He made it all the way to the Showcase, where he guessed the exact price of his showcase, a feat that had happened only once before. The producers stopped the game, convinced that Terry was cheating somehow, but after a 20-minute pause, no one could say how that was possible. Drew Carey, convinced the show would not be aired, resumed the game and coldly informed Terry that he'd won both showcases. When the game aired, viewers blasted Carey for his behavior toward a player who legitimately won according the game's rules. Retired host Bob Barker said he would've played up Terry as the greatest contestant in the game's history. To prevent a recurrence, the producers retired some prizes and subtly randomized prices.

On 17 February 1976, announcer Johnny Olson calls on contestant Patricia Bernard to "Come on down!", however she had gone to the restroom just beforehand. Her husband and a page had to run backstage to tell her she was called to Contestants' Row. Years later, Bob Barker would recall that moment as one of the funniest moments in the show's history.

On 9 April 1998, Studio 33 at CBS Television City in Hollywood, where this show is taped, was renamed the "Bob Barker Studio." This was in honor of the program's ceremonial 5,000th show and for Bob Barker's achievements.
