Studio 46 - Non-TPiR Discussion > Out In Left Field

Would "real time" taping end with Bob Barker?

(1/3) > >>

logikreader:
I'll explain briefly:  Right now, the Price is Right tapes as if it were a live show.  Bob basically has to stay sharp for the entire hour, becuase the crew won't stop every time he makes a mistake (which he almost never does).

But will that continue once we get a new guy in for host?  I'm a little worried that no one will be able to maintain the standard of "taping live".  Other games shows I've been to seem to allow for "flubs", and every time a host makes an error, they just stop tape and reset everything.  I'd hate to see that happen to 'Price'.

So the question is twofold: 1. Would they end "live to tape"?  and 2. Do any other studio audience based shows tape without a large number of stop downs (beside commercial breaks)?

Axl:
The short answer is "no," I'm sure they would still go more or less live-to-tape, just like nearly all traditional game shows do.  It's mostly a money issue... the shorter the taping time, the less it costs to produce.  They would not hire a host incapable of keeping up with the show's format.

rn:
I prefer not being live as it makes the contestant a bit too nervous.  Weather it be TPIR or any other game show, it is better to record it ahead of time.

Take another look... that's not what we were talking about.

COINBOYNYC:
Isn't "live to tape" essentially the same thing as an actual live broadcast, except that the show isn't being broadcast live?

Yes, they have the ability to re-shoot if necessary, as well as to insert relevant overdubs (such as the announcement of the ineligible contestant on 5/8's show), but basically everyone on the show treat it as if it actually were going out live.
