In case you were not aware, the most recent episode of Abbott Elementary had references to TPIR and its host Drew Carey, and even had footage of a contestant being about to play Plinko. The story centered on a kid who was playing hooky so he could watch TPIR, and he was one absence away from facing a truancy court and being held back. Quinta Brunson's character convinced the kid to return to school and even informed the kid that in order to be a contestant on TPIR he has to learn math, learn physical education in order to spin the big wheel, etc.
I don't know if any of the footage on the TV the kid was watching featured Drew, George or any of the models, but I didn't see any of them listed in the closing credits.

So, I learned that there were no pricing games won on Friday's episode. I did read somewhere (G-R, maybe?) that whenever there is a show with no pricing games won, there is likely something big happening on the next show. Come to think of it, 3 Strikes is due, as it has been nearly three months since it was last played (that playing was cut on the East coast due to a special report, but thankfully that playing was lost). Of course, I could be proven wrong but we'll know for sure tomorrow.
Examples of this situation include the February 23, 2006 episode - with no pricing games won plus a double overbid in the Showcase. The next day, Golden Road was played.
There was also an episode in recent years in which there were no pricing games won - the next day, Pay the Rent was played.
