Price is Right was an awesome production back in those days. Probably still is but the way they rolled through the show in real time with a 1600 GVG switcher was a sight to see. When the folks from Chyron demoed their graphics generator, to replace the ped and tilt they did on a title card semi circle credit roll they keyed in live while the cameraman did the roll move, the producers and director said "Nah, we don't need that, we're fine." Gotta love that approach. Watching all those cameras fly around the stage it's a wonder nobody got crushed.

I watched a guy do that once, on a small panel with a matrix of buttons. The logic seemed to flow from fewer people/less laughter to more people/more laughter, and he played it like a piano, triggering various combinations or sequences.
I visited The Price Is Right back in the late 80s, and there was a huge rack of what looked like proprietary cart machines with bells, buzzers, music cues and other such stuff, recallable at will from the audio position. Times have changed.
