He’s considered one of the most recognizable TV personalities of all time. From an older generation who watched him on the ‘Price Is Right’ to a younger generation who saw him duke it out with Adam Sandler in ‘Happy Gilmore’, Bob Barker will never be forgotten. ‘The Price Is Right: A Tribute to Bob Barker’ will air this Thursday (Aug 31) at 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS.
I was a fan of Bob Barker. When I was a kid and at home on a sick day, I LOVED to watch ‘The Price Is Right’! Barker was smooth without being too polished.
