In March 2020, production on the four longest-running game shows in North America ("Family Feud", "Jeopardy", "The Price Is Right," and "Wheel of Fortune") were temporarily suspended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the summer, "Family Feud", "Jeopardy", and "Wheel of Fortune" resumed production; however, because "The Price is Right" required a studio audience in order to properly play the game, production for that show was suspended until October of that year, when a new version of the show without the studio audience began production.
