@monorail @Austin_Dern Purely for kicks, I did a little research. In case you were curious, the actual budget per episode is something like $700k. (https://mentalitch.com/the-price-is-right-one-of-the-longest-running-tv-game-shows-in-history/)
I'm not nitpicking or anything, btw, this is just offered as trivia! I... honestly have no idea if $700k is high or low, actually. :D Given that includes the prize budget, yeah, I'll bet what's left is... a piece of string, maybe a binder clip. :)
@monorail @Austin_Dern OK, yeah, it looks like the relative budget of Price is Right is approximately 2 x butt. :D
