Let’s Make a Deal showrunner John Quinn is taking on additional duties as showrunner and executive producer of The Price is Right.
Quinn, who also showruns Press Your Luck, is expected to incorporate a variety of specially themed episodes in Price‘s new season, including Breast Cancer Awareness, Valentine’s Day, Pet Adoption Week, Mother’s Day, and School’s Out. There’s also a brand new pricing game in the works for the CBS game show hosted by Drew Carey.
The new season is slated for September.
“It’s the show we all watched during summer break and when we were home sick from school,” said Quinn, who is taking over for Evelyn Warfel on The Price is Right. “This show is a major reason why I work on game shows in the first place, so to be a part of it now is an honor that I do not take lightly. I am beyond grateful and still pinching myself! From the second I came on board I have felt at home, and that is a testament to the spectacular staff and crew who have been making this show a staple of American television for 53 years. What a delight!”
“John brings a dynamic energy, remarkable creativity, and a collaborative spirit that elevates every production he touches,” added Jennifer Mullin, CEO, Fremantle. “Combined with his rare ability to adapt with the times while honoring tradition, make him the ideal choice to carry this iconic mainstay of television forward.”
Production on season 54 of The Price is Right is underway at Fremantle’s Haven Studios in Glendale, CA.
