The Price is Right Season 2016 Episode 25 Fri, Feb 5, 2016 - Super Bowl Special
- February 5, 2016
On Friday, February 5, 2016, The Price is Right aired a special episode in celebration of the Super Bowl. The episode featured football-themed games and prizes, as well as appearances by several NFL players.
The show opened with host Drew Carey welcoming the audience and hyping up the Super Bowl excitement. He then introduced the first game, called "One Away" with a football twist. The contestant had to guess the price of a prize car by changing the numbers on a scoreboard to match the correct price, using football jerseys instead of traditional numbers.
Next up was "Gridlock," a game where the contestant had to guess the price of three prizes while avoiding getting "tackled" by the opposing team. The "tacklers" in this game were several NFL players, including Hall of Famer Terrell Owens and Pro Bowlers Greg Jennings and Lance Briggs.
After "Gridlock," the show took a break and returned with a special halftime show. Carey introduced a kicking contest featuring two more NFL players, kicker Robbie Gould and punter Pat McAfee. The players had to kick a field goal through a target in order to win a bonus prize for the contestant they were teamed up with.
Once the halftime show was over, the show resumed with another football-themed game called "Pass the Buck." In this game, the contestant had to make correct guesses in order to advance down a football field and reach the end zone. Each correct guess moved the player forward, but incorrect guesses resulted in the opposing team intercepting the ball and gaining possession.
The final game of the episode was "Cliff Hangers," which featured a football toss theme. The contestant had to guess the prices of three prizes in order to earn footballs to throw at a target. If they were successful in hitting the target, they won the grand prize.
Throughout the episode, there were also a number of football-themed prizes featured, such as a trip to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii and a private tailgating party with an NFL player. The episode ended with a spectacular showcase showdown featuring a trip to both the Super Bowl and Pro Bowl, as well as a brand new car.
Overall, The Price is Right Super Bowl Special episode was a fun and exciting way to get viewers in the mood for the big game. The football-themed games and prizes were a nice touch, and the appearances by NFL players added an extra level of excitement to the episode.
