I don’t think anyone thinks this is true.

Bob Barker gave me the creeps. Because he kept asking you To Tell The Truth?
That makes me think Bob was a CIA interrogator.

“ We call a neighbors dog “Bob Barker”...Can you guess why???”
Because he can’t swim so when you throw him in the pool he just “bobs”?

Maybe one of the models (Holly, Dian, or Janice) was an agent. Or possibly Johnny Olson.

Some reason or other I always thought Allen Ludden was the smartest guy in the room.

I can’t imagine Richard Dawson or Bert Convy being the CIA type.

I always desperately wanted the urban legend about Fred Rogers being a accomplish and deadly sniper to be true!

Barris admitted on The Today Show, back in 1984, that “No, I was never a CIA hitman. I never did those things.”
He was a very talented man being an American game show creator, producer, and host. Barris was known for hosting The Gong Show and creating The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game. He was also a songwriter who wrote “Palisades Park”, recorded by Freddy Cannon. He wrote and published eight books:
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
Who Killed Art Deco?
The Game Show King
Della
Sorry I wasn’t listening I was thinking about Chuck Barris
You and Me, Babe
The Big Question
Bad Grass Never Dies
And there have been a number of books written about him. And even he admitted he didn’t work for the CIA. Face it, why would he say that if it wasn’t a joke? He would be putting himself in with people that will make him go away easily.

He may have shot a guy in front of him at a theater, but it wasn’t in the literal sense of the word.

I’ve gotta admit that some of the greatest “stupid game show answers” are from Family Feud.

Mental hospitals are chock full of ex-CIA agents. And KGB. and FBI. And Gray Aliens. Just ask them.

I always desperately wanted the urban legend about Fred Rogers being a accomplish and deadly sniper to be true! I did too. Rogers says he wasn't...but then that's just what a sniper would say, isn't it?

There is theory that George HW Bush was one of a three man shooting team of JFK.
Someone looked into it. He was in Texas that day. That as far as it went I think. No real ties. that I know of.
Anecdotal evidence like there are third world countries where the military leaders are hired assassins early on.
Saddam Hussein comes to mind.
