The Same Woman In The Same Seat Every Day

[Billy Dee]

Hi, I'm new here and have a question.

First off, I'm not sure if this is in the right place so I apologize if it isn't.

Okay, Game TV here in Canada has recently started showing The Price Is Right with Bob Barker daily.  The shows I've seen so far are from '81/'82.

My question(s) is/are:  In every episode I've watched there is a woman sitting at the right end, (the onscreen right end), of contestant's row. She's there in every episode, different clothes on different days but sometimes a few days in a row with the same clothes.

Is she an employee?  An usher?  IRS agent?  My curiosity is strong about this.

Today I had the thought that it seems strange that Bob never mentions her being there all the time because he often picks up on people in the audience.

Does anyone know who/what she is?

Thanks in advance.

Back when Pluto started showing these episodes, there was a thread that asked the same question. That would be Gina. She was a show employee they placed there to guide the contestants in Contestants' Row during each act that they did not win. After a while it became common knowledge on what to do between acts, so the show felt they no longer needed someone doing that task. Gina stayed with the show for a very long time after that and retired at the end of last season.

Thank you very much for the info and links.

My mind is now resting easily, lol.
