Besides Burton, Randy and Rich, the post-Rod auditions included comedian Daniel Rosen, voice actor/former VJ Roger Rose and regional radio hosts Art Sanders, Don Bishop and Jim Thornton (who now announces ''Wheel''). |

* [[I Am Not Spock]]: Contrary to wide belief, ''Price'' wasn't an in-house creation of Goodson-Todman. [[Bob Stewart]] developed it as early as 1954 on local New York City TV as ''The Sky's The Limit'' after seeing an auction house vendor ply this contest to prospective customers. Two years later, Goodson-Todman noticed the show and a pilot, titled ''Auction-Aire,'' was ordered for NBC (see [[Early Installment Weirdness]] for details on the pilot). |

** There was a show called ''Auction-Aire," which ran on ABC in 1949. Studio audience members and home viewers called in bids to their local ABC station on Libby's grocery labels. |

*** Some references have the pilot listed as ''The Auctioneer,'' but [[Word of God|Bob Stewart himself]] said it was ''Auction-Aire.'' |
