Drew Carey took over as host, and the show continues to be extremely popular to this day.

Drew Carey is doing a good job.

I have found it increasingly difficult to guess the prices as so many episodes were filmed before the current inflation doom spiral.

“In high school, at the age of 15, Barker met and fell in love with his future wife, Dorothy Jo Gideon. Their first date was on Nov. 17, 1939, when he took her to see an Ella Fitzgerald concert. Barker said they “were never separated from then on” – until her death in 1981 from lung cancer.”

Married to the same woman, his only love and never remarried after her death.

Thousands of massive jugs jiggling on that show for decades. Well done, Bob.

Remember watching him on TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES when I was itty-bitty. Then, soon after, I learned there was a place called “Truth or Consequences” New Mexico. I asked my dad to drive me down there so that I could meet Bob Barker.

We all grew up with Looney Tunes and Bob Barker on the TV. RIP.

Oh, and don’t forget to spay or neuter your pets.

The original The Price Is Right host was Bill Cullen, who had severe polio and was always shown stationary or seated during the broadcasts.

I can't recall any other game show host who was disabled like Cullen was.

“when he was complaining to us about a bad foot he was dealing with. We chopped it up with him ... “

Wow. What a sport to allow a foot to be chopped up. He took it in stride.
