Hmm, I'd say Big Band but that doesn't seem right either.  It's like carnival music.

It's not jazz. It's not a jazz tune or a jazz arrangement. I don't know any jazz musician that'd put it in his repertoire. It doesn't swing. if anything it's some mutant from laurence welk with a slight latin bounce.

What about the Jetson's theme? That sounds like more than a jingle--some rockin'
big band jazz orchestral sound there!

You suck! Now I have the theme from "The Price is Right" stuck in my head.

I did a little research and found that the theme was composed by Edd Kalehoff.  A quick glance at IMDB gives us a good idea of his musical "pedigree".

 that was the newest version of 'the price is right'. in the don pardo years the music was written by dave carey...Composer, songwriter ("Sweet Bird of Youth"), conductor, arranger,
pianist and author, educated at the Pittsburgh Musical Institute, the
University of Pittsburgh, and the Manhattan School of Music. He also
studied with Eddie Sauter and Lennie Tristano, and made many records.
Joining ASCAP in 1960, his chief musical collaborator was Searcy Lee
Johnson, and his oher popular-song compositions include "Love's a Way
of Life", "Song for Home Viewers", "From the Moment I Met You", "The
End Blues" and "You Are All I Love".

Is it not all in line with the themes of shows like The Tonite Show or Late Night with David Letterman?

Whatever it is, it's too catchy for it's own good.
