Kathy McDonald Greco, often nicknamed "Fingers", is the co-producer (as of October 2007, was the associate producer prior to that) on the game show The Price is Right. She also created the pricing game Secret "X" in 1977.
She was nicknamed "Fingers" after she gave host Bob Barker a backrub 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". As a sidenote, "Fingers" married golf pro Frank "Thumbs" Greco soon after earning her nickname.
She is crucial to the in-game elements of The Price is Right. One of her main responsibilities is documenting everything which occurs on the show, including all contestants' responses, wins and losses. She also joined Barker, along with 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 in 1993.
She famously did a dance known as the "Gator" with crew member Andrew S. Jacobsen on the show in 1986. She did it once again, with an audience member, in 2005.
