COME ON DOWN! Traditional Cache

COME ON DOWN!      

Meaning: The catchphrase used to invite audience members to the stage to become contestants in game shows.

Origin: This, as you might expect is an American phrase. It has long been used when making an invitation, especially in advertising when trying to attract people to a store or an event.

This idiom was picked up later by game show hosts when inviting contestants to come down out of the audience and join them on stage; always accompanied by whoops of delight. This was best known from The Price is Right game show which began in 1972, hosted by Bob Barker.
