Remembering Bob Barker: RARE Interviews and New Moments With Close Friends (Exclusive) 

Yup. I was 1 of them

100% It was Jerry Springer then Price is Right on sick days lmfao

I am boomer, I remember sick days from school and summer vacation watching TPIR.

i wonder if they'll interview holly or dian despite the bad lawsuits back when

@@retroguy1976 Nope. I highly doubt if either one of them would be willing to come forward (Holly especially)

@@retroguy1976 Apparently there is a tell-all book that the author has returned to writing because the lawsuit threats are no more. But I only heard this from someone elsewhere so take it with a grain of salt and nothing else.

@@jimmyboyzableKathleen made 2 post on her instagram saying R.I.P. to Bob as she mentioned that despite their issues that he was the man of Tpir.

@@jakimsingletary164 - I follow Kathleen on Facebook and she made the same posts about him there as well.

At 81 years old 👵🏻, of course.

Not just him but all those game shows.

Same here (1976). Besides summer days, sick and snow days (of which one of them was the day the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up) always included TPIR along with $25,000 Pyramid and Press Your Luck. (And if you ask why I mentioned Challenger, I was watching TPIR when CBS News broke in with the news about Challenger).

I was at home sick from school too and saw that about the Challenger. I agree too that there were other game shows that were enjoyable as well, like the ones you mentioned. I'll never forget seeing Michael Larson on Press Your Luck.@@rwboa22

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I’m glad someone else have the same thought as mine.

I felt they had a lot in common too ❤❤❤

Bob was a quiet man. He loved simple things. He was very private, and low profiled. I wished cbs would pay tribute to him by showing tpir reruns with him all in one week. 🪦

If you own a SAMSUNG 4K tv there is a 24 hour TPIR channel on Samsung TV Plus (CH 1140)....@@TroyGoodwin

IIRC, it was CBS (not BB) that let Janice go.

after the april fools appearance in 2015, he never wanted to go back plus covid 19 came along by then he was frail in a wheelchair mainly with in home care till the end

She’s also THE MOM OF BARKER’S BEAUTIES, Mrs Janice Pennington!!! :) :) :)

I was born in Jan 1982. I can totally relate. These people we're a part of my formative years. Thanks for the memories.

I noticed on Facebook that former Barker’s Beauty Kathleen Bradley talked about her memories with Bob Barker and The Price Is Right even though she was fired in 2000.

Time heals all wounds in most cases.

Yeah, it's surprising. She accused Bob of sexual harassment

For 29 years, Janice Pennington served as a model on The Price Is Right, handing the microphone to Bob Barker at the start of more than 5,000 shows. She also handed off to Dennis James and Tom Kennedy while the show was in syndication in 1972-77 and 1985-86, respectively. During a 1976 syndicated episode, host Dennis James called the mountain-climber character in the Cliff Hangers game Fritz, unaware that Pennington's husband Fritz Stammberger had disappeared while mountain climbing in the mid-1970s. As the contestant lost the game and the mountain-climber figure tumbled over the cliff, James shouted "There goes Fritz!," causing Pennington to run from the stage in tears. In June 1988, a camera hit Pennington, knocking her unconscious. She was taken to a hospital and taping of the episode resumed after 45 minutes. Pennington's resulting surgery left her with scars and one shoulder shorter than the other; as a result, she could no longer wear swimsuits on the show. A substitute model took Pennington's place during her recovery from the injury. Pennington's last episode of The Price Is Right was the December 13, 2000, episode following the show's takeover by Pearson Television earlier in the year. She signed a confidential settlement agreement. It’s great that Janice seems to have gotten over those incidents mentioned above- and she looks great for 81!

@@andream7500 Not exactly. That was Dian Parkinson.

theres tons of old tpir's on you tube watch away

​@@retroguy1976i definitely watch TPIR the Barker years every day, Bob will Always be The Price Is Right.

@@thomasparnell1025 def a throwback in time for sure

It would be so epic if Janice appears on December 12th, in what would've been Bob's 100th birthday.

@@jacobtapianieto9655 oh yes!!! It would be such a sweet surprise to see her hand off the mic say a few words then showcase a few things like a queen! She was always the original. Bob's gal Friday

he wanted it that way and I agree LA would be bananas just a simple burial next to Dorothy Jo is what was needed

Bob hosted "The Price is Right" on April Fools Day 2015 for the opening, first item up for bid, and first pricing game Lucky Seven. Then-model Gwendolyn Osbourne handed Barker the mic that day.

@@BrownBrother27 I knew that.

@@TimFrith24 Okay. I did not know you knew. :-) ☮️

@@TimFrith24 It's always good to see another Loyal Friend and True.
