I was a little miffed as a young one, since the minute I started seeing kids on the show, after Bob left, I thought "they should've done this with Bob around". But after learning all the crazy grown-up contestants who always gave him a rough time, at his age, during the pricing games, and even at the big wheel, I understood completely, that he was just prone to dealing with grown-up contestants, more than kids.
Wow, the 1st episode in which Bob interacted with a kid, in the audience. He actually did that on an episode of "Truth or Consequences," during the last years.
I am from MA and was 10 years old when this aired and I loved the show then. Whenever I had a half day at school I would run home to watch it. Thank you for showing this. Bob Barker we miss on TPIR!!
@@jjaa6157 Same here! Here’s what it added up to: No school + TPIR + one bowl of homemade chicken soup = one AMAZING day! The only difference is that I live in Montreal Quebec, Canada and would do the same thing, except I would mostly be watching it at my grandparents house!
This was incredibly touching and nice of the show staff to put this together - something the boy and his family would never forget, I'm sure. On one of the other popular Barker-hosted TPIR channels here on YT, there's a frequent commenter who goes by the same name of this little boy, but I doubt it's the same person. That user just tag-teams with another one as they get in ridiculous comnenting battles with other users. They should grow up, already.
I wonder if David was a special needs child or there was some story behind him because it's interesting that they had prepared all those toys for him, with the staging and research needed to put that all together. Plus, someone was holding a boom mic off to the side which had to have some purpose other than so we could hear David speak, as Bob took care of that easily.
He’s 5 in this, so for a boy of 5, he’s pretty simple. That’s how most 5 year old boys are when they talk and such. Maybe a little slower as he talked than most 5 year olds but my guess is he was shy.
Was there a reason they gave David those toys and not some other kid? I am guessing that he was probably the only kid in the studio audience during Bob Barker's regime.
