The Nighttime Price Is Right (1994) is one of the versions of the popular game show The Price Is Right. This version ran in syndication in the nighttime while the one hosted by Bob Barker ran in the daytime on CBS. This version was hosted by Doug Davidson (of the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless and featured Burton Richardson as the announcer.

To differentiate itself from daytime, this version had contestants called from the studio audience directly to the stage to play a pricing game. Three contestants are called, one game per player. The three play one of two playoffs to determine who goes to the Showcase. The first is the big wheel from the daytime show's Showcase Showdown; the other has them in Contestants Row playing "The Price Was Right," bidding on an item from the past at its price when it was first marketed.

The winner plays for a showcase of prizes in a game similar to the show's Range Game. A range finder moves up a price scale, and the player stops it if he/she thinks the price is within a $1000 range.

This version barely made a blip in the ratings and was canceled by mid-season. TV listings had it as The New Price Is Right (the show's name when CBS first revived it in 1972), but on-screen it was simply The Price Is Right.
