For the week of October 10-14, 2011 (#566xK, aired out of order on January 2-6, 2012), the week of January 21-25, 2013 (#619xK, aired out of order on February 18-22, 2013) and the week of February 20-24, 2017 (#782xK), The Price is Right held a special Celebrity Week in which five celebrities (one for each day) appear. Their job was to help the contestants win their pricing games and whatever cash/prizes the contestants won, the celebrities received the value of the prize(s) in cash for their favorite charities. For the pricing games, the celebrities can help the contestants, but only the contestants' guesses count. In addition, during each day's second Showcase Showdown, the celebrity spun the Big Wheel and whatever space the star landed on had two zeroes added to it at the end and turned into dollars (100 times the number landed on in cash), ranging anywhere from $500-$10,000. And finally, the celebrity of the day help presented at least one Showcase that day.
NOTE: The format was also used in primetime specials called The Price is Right at Night.
