Don Pardo's opening is a bit different tonight: Ce soir ces quatre personnes se réunissent pour concourir pour le prix d'une vie sur...The Price Is Right!
Bill is wearing a beret and first thanks his brother-in-law Jack Narz for filling in the previous week while he was on vacation. He then points out that his beret is a clue as to where he was, and "I wanna tell you Secaucus, New Jersey is wonderful this time of year!"
