Rod Roddy Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family

Robert Ray "Rod" Roddy (September 28, 1937 – October 27, 2003) was an American radio and television announcer. He is primarily known for his role as an offstage announcer on game shows. Among the shows that he announced are the CBS game shows Whew! and Press Your Luck. He is widely recognized by the signature line, "Come on down!" from The Price Is Right, and it appears on his grave marker, although the phrase was originated and made popular by his predecessor Johnny Olson. Roddy succeeded original announcer Johnny Olson on The Price is Right and held the role from 1986 until his death in 2003. On many episodes of Press Your Luck and The Price is Right, Roddy appeared on camera. Roddy was also the voice of Mike the microphone on Disney's House of Mouse from 2001 to 2003.

1	I could have prevented all this with a colonoscopy, and of course, that's the campaign I've been on since I had the first surgery. To everybody out there, get a mammogram! It can happen to men, too.

#	Fact
1	In 1988, Rod came out in full drag as Rodweena during a showcase skit on The Price Is Right (1972).
2	Initially wore regular suits when he started announcing on The Price Is Right (1972), but with the encouragement of Bob Barker, he began wearing his flamboyant sequin suits on camera.
3	Rod was good friends with KLIF owner and radio icon Gordon McLendon. Rod also became very good friends with McLendon's wife, Susan Stafford, and after training in the ministry many years ago, she presided at Rod's memorial service in Texas.
4	When he was just getting his start in television, Rod came to a taping of The Price Is Right (1972) and sat in the audience to watch Johnny Olson.
5	Worked with game show host Peter Tomarken twice: "Hit Man" on NBC (1983) and "Press Your Luck" on CBS (1983-1986).
6	After CBS programming executive Barbara Hunter suggested Rod Roddy as a possible replacement for Johnny Olson on The Price Is Right (1972), Rod was given the shortest amount of on air audition episodes before the job was offered to him. Rod did not accept the salary offered and had his attorney negotiate for a deal that was beyond what was budgeted for the job. Rod and his attorney stood firm while Mark Goodson Productions briefly resumed the search. In 1986, CBS and Goodson ponied up for what became a very lucrative deal after several renewals. Rod remained on the job for a record 17 years until his passing in 2003.

10	Was a DJ at Buffalo's 50,000 powerhouse WKBW 1520 AM from 1963 to 1968. According to current KB DJs, his sense of dress was at least equally as notable then as it was during his career on The Price Is Right (1972).
