It has been revealed that John Quinn is taking on additional duties as showrunner and executive producer of the much loved show.

Viewers can expect an exciting variety of specially themed episodes in the show’s new season.

Themes will include Breast Cancer Awareness, Valentine’s Day, Pet Adoption Week, Mother’s Day, and School’s Out.

On top of that, show host, Drew Carey will introduce a brand new pricing game for the CBS game show.

The new season is slated for September this year reports Deadline.

However, last year, The Price is Right faced backlash when the show didn’t acknowledge the one-year anniversary of its former host Bob Barker’s death on its social media accounts.

Bob died on August 26, 2023, at 99 years old.

He hosted the show for 35 years before retiring in 2008 and passing his microphone to fan favourite Drew.

The U.S. Sun revealed in May that Drew was the life of the party as he danced and chatted up women until 6 am at an EDM music festival.

Exclusive photos and video footage showed Drew, 66, laughing and flirting with delighted female fans at the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas.

Drew was filmed draping his arms around a mystery blonde as they beamed and took photographs together surrounded by revelers in the wee hours of Monday, May 19.

An eyewitness told The U.S. Sun, “Many people were shocked to see Drew in the crowd, especially considering his age, but he was the life and soul of the event.

“He seemed to be having the best time, dancing and laughing with a group of friends all night.

“Plenty of women were going up to him and flirting, he appeared to enjoy the attention and was very friendly.”

Drew, who has hosted The Price Is Right since 2007, is believed to be single. He has been engaged twice but never married.

His ex-fiancee, therapist Dr. Amie Harwick, was murdered in 2020 by her ex-boyfriend, Gareth Pursehouse.

The game show host revealed at the time, he is not seriously dating as he continues to process the loss but expressed being able to “finally move on” after Harwick’s murderer was convicted and sentenced.

Drew was seen in April on what appeared to be a date with Niki Skyler, an OnlyFans creator, at Swingers Diner in West Hollywood.

John Quinn said of his new role as showrunner for The Price Is Right: “It’s the show we all watched during summer break and when we were home sick from school.

“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!”
