A slew of famous faces have appeared over the years on The Price Is Right — including Demi Lovato, Snoop Dogg, Heidi Klum, and Neil Patrick Harris — but Alex Trebek was not among them. Trebek, who died in 2020, hosted the quiz show Jeopardy! for 37 seasons. The Price Is Right is the longest running game show on daytime network television. It tests contestants' knowledge of consumer goods pricing and gives away cash as well as prizes including cars and vacations. The show began airing on CBS in 1972 with host Bob Barker, who retired after 35 years. Drew Carey then stepped in to become host and continues in that role today. One of the funniest moments in the show's history took place on February 17, 1976, when announcer Johnny Olson called on contestant Patricia Bernard to "Come on down!" from the audience. Unfortunately, Patricia had gone to the restroom just beforehand, and her husband and a page had to run backstage to tell her she'd been picked for Contestants' Row.
