Kathleen "Kathy" McDonald Greco, nicknamed "Fingers" (born September 1950 in Phoenix, Arizona), is the producer on the game show The Price Is Right. Joining Goodson-Todman Productions in 1975, she became a production assistant on the game, creating the pricing game in 1977, moving to Associate Producer in Season 17 (1988), Co-Producer in Season 36 (2007), and Producer in Season 37 (2008), although she now shares Producer duties with long-time staff member Adam Sandler (not to be confused with the actor of the same name) in Season 38 (2009). She was nicknamed "Fingers" after she gave host Bob Barker a back rub in the early 1980s. He was suffering from a herniated disc and sciatica at the time. Barker mentioned she had "magic fingers." The nickname stuck and was shortened to "Fingers". She married golf pro Frank "Thumbs" Greco shortly after. One of her main responsibilities, prior to being promoted to Producer, was to document everything which occurred on the show, including all contestants' responses, wins and losses. In 1986, she performed a dance known as the "Gator" with crew member Andrew S. Jacobsen on The Price Is Right. She did it once again, with an audience member, in 2005. In 1993, she joined Barker, Janice Pennington, Holly Hallstrom, and Kathleen Bradley as part of The Price is Right team that took on The Young and the Restless team in a special "Barker's Beauties vs. Soap Stars" week of Family Feud.
