Things You Didn’t Know About Bob Barker
He’s still the gold standard of game show hosts.
Bob Barker is best known for his years of work as the host of “The Price is Right.” In addition, he memorably punched out Happy Gilmore and prior to all of that, did a nice turn as the host of “Truth or Consequences.”
He is also the poster boy for spaying and neutering of pets, which may make him the scourge of dogs everywhere. Beyond that, I didn’t know much about him, so I took a little deeper dive. Here are some things you might not have known about Bob Barker.
1: Snoop Dogg is a fan of “The Price is Right.”
He said he watched the show during the 70s with his grandma. I believe that was legit and Dogg wasn’t just blowing smoke.
2: In July of 2017 Action News 3 inaccurately reported that Barker had died from the result of a fall.
It was true that Bob had fallen and couldn’t get up, but his housekeeper drove him to the hospital, and all was ultimately well.
