* The show was spoofed as two different Sesame Street game shows: "The Triangle is Right" (hosted by Guy Smiley) and "The Trash is Right" (hosted by Oscar the Grouch).
* During a 2019 appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, the Sesame Street Muppets try to find Corden's studio in the CBS building. They are seen on the current set of The Price is Right, where Cookie Monster mistakes the numbering on the Big Wheel for cookies and Count von Count attempts to guess the value of a banjo.
* The Sesamestreet.org online game "Show Me the Cookies" is a parody of the show. The set is modeled after the classic version, host Cookie Monster wields a long, Bob Barker-style microphone, the game is made up of a series of mini-games, and the player spins a giant wheel to win a prize. The game "Cliffhangers" is directly referenced, with Cookie dressed in lederhosen attempting to catch cookies while ascending a cliff.

* In the Farscape episode "Picture If You Will," John Crichton yells for Maldis to "come on down," evoking the show's famous catchphrase.
