Robert Barker was born on December 12, 1923, in Darrington, Washington. After serving in the United States Navy Reserve during World War II, he began a broadcasting career, which led to him receiving his own radio show, “The Bob Barker Show,” in Burbank, California. As Barker details in his memoir “Priceless Memories,” his voice soon caught the attention of game show producer Ralph Edwards, who wanted to hire Barker for “Truth or Consequences.” He led the show from 1956 to 1975. In 1972, Barker was also tapped to host “The Price Is Right,” and he maintained that position until his retirement in 2007.
In an interview with People in 2021, Barker was asked what he enjoyed most about hosting the game show for so many years, to which he quickly responded, “The money, of course!” He then clarified, “All kidding aside, there was much to love. I had the pleasure of working with a dedicated and talented cast and crew for 35 great years. Particularly close to my heart was the ability our vast popularity gave me to remind our entire audience daily about the importance of spaying and neutering your pets.”
Bob Barker didn’t just entertain millions. He helped to make the world a better place for humans and animals alike. Our thoughts go out to his family, friends, and fans.
