Price is Right ?

Just curious, but does anyone know what happen to the regular "come on down" announcer?

I've noticed for quite some time that it wasn't the same person but I never knew if he retired, quit, was sick, etc...

Do you mean Rod Roddy?

Unfortunately, he died of cancer in 2003. Here's a link: Rod Roddy's CNN obit

Yeah, that's him. That's so sad. My grandfather passed away from colon cancer in 2001.

Boy, I remember hearing his voice last year on the show. Maybe it was a rerun that day???

I miss the old announcer. He was a good guy..
