Truth or Consequences- December 31, 1956 (Bob Barker's television debut) 

Brilliant!

😁

Bz well said

Yes it was

So young????? Ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaa he is in the ground now and very creepy looking

When Ralph Edwards hired him for Truth or Consequences he said that Bob Barker sounded like a young Jack Benny!

He passed away in his sleep on Saturday night

He WAS DEFINITELY WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST EVER. PURE CARISMA.

I was in LA last May and saw his house. He lived close to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Pat Sajak of "Wheel of Fortune" would be second. He and Vanna are retiring at the end of 2023.

Yes. Absolute legend…

And the rest was history.

Bob's career in radio began long before that..

I was -7 years old.

*a lot

*a lot

and I remember originally "The Price is Right" was hosted by Bill Cullen!

What a spot on prediction that turned out to be.

Don Pardo was invited to move to move to ABC when the original Price is Right went to that network, but Pardo was loyal to NBC.

When I lived on campus in 1977 for a semester, I always made it back to my dorm to catch some of TPIR before lunch.

All of them seem to be dead, except for Bob Barker.

@@brodie2005thegamer was thinking who has to take over after betty white. bob might be that person at 98.

boy he hit the nail on the head.

Bob Barker was already a legend by the time the daytime version of "Truth Or Consequences" moved from NBC to first run syndication in 1965.

I only knew it because I watched a documentary about him once. When he lived on the Sioux reservation he was apparently a nudist. He liked to swim in the nude quite a bit. He was also a practitioner of the martial arts. Bob Barker was an interesting man who lived an incredible life. May he Rest In Peace.

sadly he didn't get to 100

@@willmack5909 He's up in heaven with Betty White. My grandmother did make it to 100-blind, deaf, osteoporosis, dementia, but she was proud she had made it to 100. Getting old-it's not for sissies.

We will get eight hours of his appearances on Match Game.

How ironic that he should say to you on T or C, Come on down. Love it. Rest in peace, Bob. The cats and dogs of America never had a better friend.

33 years and 19 days old at the time…

@@mediachristiantv7472 and now he's pushing 100.

@@leonardbrinkman4410 indeed…there are always two dates by which I remember Bob - December 12, his birthday (a Tuesday this year), and September 4, 1972, the airdate of the first “New Price is Right”, with him as host. This year 9/4 is Labor Day, as it was in 1972.:

@@mediachristiantv7472 I remember that too it is just one of those days that I would remember anyway. As a matter of fact I remember what I watched that on September 4th 1972 when Bob Barker's first episode was just done. It was really something that really made sense! Add your right September 4th of this year is on a Monday the same day that Bob Barker had his first episode of The Price is Right back in 1972! And by the way when they do to Bob Barker's 100th anniversary that would be great I mean his 100th birthday that is.

I will remember watching that myself when they do start the 100th anniversary, but there was only one thing that I do remember, he got close to 100 without going over!

Understatement. The greatest ever

I would soon follow..

No he won’t

I'm afraid it's not going to happen...

Funny. I was a little further along, a fetus!

What about the human population?

Yep, LOMBARDI was the offensive mastermind and LANDRY coached the defense as he did while he played.. That worked pretty well for figureheadcoach JIM LEE HOWELL.. The NY GIANTS did not win another NFL CROWN until 1987's('86-87 season) SUPER BOWL..

@@robertsprouse9282 Jim Lee Howell, not Jim Ray Howell.Incidentally, Lombardi was anything but an offensive guru. The Giants were no better than middle of the pack. The strength of the team was it's defense. At the time,Landry was considered the better head- coaching candidate.

@@kevinmadden1645 , thanks for the correction. I appreciate it. I was flipping HOWELL with JIM RAY HART of the SF GIANTS MLB'ERS. I am getting old, sigh. Meanwhile.. LOMBARDI coached the line, and backs, and coordinated the receivers for the GIANTS, a positions coach who was eventually given the title, although that is what he did anyway and it did not change it, of OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR. The Giants during the seasons that LOMBARDI coached them were one of the first teams to use what we would call a primitive zone-blocking scheme. They called it RULE BLOCKING..blocking an area where players were at without pinpointing the blocking of a specific defender. That rule blocking had rarely if ever been utilized in the NFL or AAFC before. VINCE L. brought it into widespread, popular use. I would say that would make him a mastermind. Just as the inventor of the then modern flex 4-3 defense, D-COORD. TOM LANDRY was a genius, a mastermind. HOWELL himself joked that all he did was just blow up the footballs, LANDRY AND LOMBARDI did the coaching. Allie Sherman only coached the backs until 1952. He later returned as offensive coordinator, but that was in 1959, the year LOMBARDI left. After LANDRY left to head coach the brand new DALLAS COWBOYS, and LOMBARDI went to run GREEN BAY, HOWELL resigned a year later and Sherman took over an aging and fading team, that true, did make three titlegames, losing by a combined total of 67-17 for that trio. When LANDRY and VINCE L. were in NY, they won that title, 47-7, and only lost the other in overtime..In Landry's last season with NYG, they lost the 1959 titlegame by only a tad over two TDs, but LOMBARDI was not there, SHERMAN was. Are you doubting that LOMBARDI AND LANDRY who did most of the coaching, were not masterminds? Are you saying that in a ball control scheme, that yards are more important than time of possession? The NY GIANTS were NEVER IN A RUN-HEAVY scheme going to lead the league in points and Did they have a BART STARR at qback? No. Did they have TAYLOR AND HORNUNG? No. But, the GIANTS did have an offense that controlled the clock and scored routinely when the defense set them up, rarely failing to get six in the redzone. YOUR MOVE..

@@robertsprouse9282 Me too!

@@kevinmadden1645 , me too, what? I made several points, not just one.

Also proof that life doesn't end in your 20s. It's just beginning 😊

Huh….didn’t seem all that nervous to me 😊

He was just transitioning from radio to television. The medium was still relatively new at the time.

He had the same radio voice, just much younger. This is a historical moment in television.

I also would’ve had him as sportscaster. he would’ve done great play by play.

He got fairly close with "What's My Line?"
