The Price is Right… Hello and Goodbye to Bob!

June 26, 2007

Bob Parker is set to leave the Price is Right and today’s blog is set to pay tribute to a few of his antiques and skeletons in the closet that he has shared with us over the years!

Dian Parkinson is one of those skeletons- She was best known for her 18 year stint as a Barker Beauty on The Price is Right. Dian proved to the world in 1994 that sleeping your way to the top is not always the best idea when she filed suit against Bob Barker for sexual harassment. The case was only dropped and this beauty became known more for her sexual escapades with the wicked old, dust farting game show host than her two playboy covers combined!

One of Bob’s funniest moments on The Price is Right was when he went up against a woman who pushed his patience beyond capacity and when she walked away with the win… I thought he was going to have a heart attack. Here it is on YouTube

These moments were pretty priceless too…

But, one of my all-time personal favorite moments of Bob will always be his cameo spot on the film “Happy Gilmore” I think this moments evens out everything else in Bob’s closet and puts his whole persona into perspective.

Bob Barker is afterall a pretty laid back guy who is probably just as comfortable making fun of himself as we all should be…

Good Luck to you Bob… the gameshow industry just will not be the same without you!
