When producers hired Barker to host “The Price Is Right” in 1972, they hit the jackpot. The game show had faded significantly from its glory days in the late ‘50s and had been punted by two networks before it landed at CBS.

Wow. I didn’t realize he was that old.
I will always associate The Price Is Right with staying home sick from school.
How do you do, fellow late-x/early millenial? Spent many a sick or “sick” day watching cartoons and then Price at 10AM. Good times.
Drew Carey has been hosting The Price is Right for the last 16 years. Just in case you weren’t feeling old as shit today.
Thanks, Satan.

For me, it’s let’s make a deal and the British version of who’s line is it anyway.
