Red & Ted's Road Show (also known as Road Show) is a 1994 widebody pinball game designed by Pat Lawlor and released by Williams. It is part of WMS' SuperPin line of widebody games.
Country singer Carlene Carter provided the voice of Red, and her song, "Every Little Thing", is featured in the game.[1] The game is considered an unofficial successor of FunHouse, as both were designed by Pat Lawlor and feature animated talking head(s) along with some similar playfield layout ideas. It is equipped with a shaker motor to make the machine vibrate. It is the only pinball machine that features an additional daily highscore list.
