On Monday, The Price is Right fans learned the premiere date for the next season of the primetime special.

“The Price is Right Night Returns September 23!” wrote one Reddit user, attaching a schedule to the post.

The show will air on Monday nights from 8pm to 9pm.

The Price is Right Night used to air on Wednesday nights on CBS.

However, the move to Mondays could cause problems for the game show.

Football starts in September and sometimes delays many programs when games go into overtime.

The game show will air until a February 7, 2024 rerun, which is a Super Bowl special.

Reddit users don’t understand why The Price is Right would change the day it airs.

“I don’t know why CBS is moving the late night shows to Monday night? They are now competing head to head with NFL Monday Night Football,” said one fan.

“This is definitely unfair,” replied another.

FIRST TIME SPECIAL

The Price is Right at Night began in 2016 with cast members from CBS reality shows including Big Brother, Survivor and The Amazing Race.

It was then remodeled in 2019 with members of the SEAL Team program.

A special two-hour 50th anniversary episode, airing in August 2021.

Due to SAG-Aftra and writers’ strikes in 2023, The Price is Right at Night aired during the 2023–24 primetime season.

The price is right, hosts

The Price is Right first appeared on TV in 1972. Fans fell in love with the game show so much that it has been on the air for over 50 years. Over that time, the show has had a few different hosts. Find out who they are below.

Craig Ferguson – 2014 April Fools’ Day Special

PAY THE PRICE

Price is Right fans are at a loss as there are currently no episodes airing during the day.

The game show went on summer hiatus on July 8 and aired a Halloween rerun.

Fans were begging The Price is Right to air new episodes as they were unable to watch reruns last week.

The Price is Right Night was not shown last week as the Republican National Convention took its place.

However, fans were caught off guard because the show promoted a new episode for July 17th.

Both versions of the game show will return in September.
