I loved watching Bill Cullen as the host of "The Price is Right" in the 1950s and as a panelist in the 1950s and 1960s on "I've Got A Secret." He was very handsome, in my opinion. He was a great host and panelist. The game show "The Price is Right" in 1950s started in 1956.

The average family income in 1958 was $5100. A husband, wife, and 4 kids (very common) using the standard deduction with $5,000 income paid $176 in federal income tax (effective rate 3.5%) there is no social security/disability taxes on game show winnings ...If this family won $5,000 in prizes, ($50,000 today) their additional taxes would be about 26% of the $5,000 -- or $1,300 more. Everyone - including the IRS - knows "manufacturers suggested retail prices " are FICTION to allow retailers to constantly run half off sales and still make money. You owe taxes on the fair market value, not a fictional value that no one pays.
