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. 99! That’s impressive, he had a long life. RIP

    I always remember it was so fun as a kid to watch The Price is Right with my grandma when I’d miss school. Those were seemingly mundane moments then, but I’d give anything to go back for just one episode like that again. Good times.

      When I was a kid and too young to stay home alone in the summer I would go to my grandma’s and we would watch The Price is Right! That would have been in the very early 90s… I miss grandmas house lol
