The Return of the Bark

Filed under: Broadcasting — KV @ 10:11 am

Two years after his retirement from the show Bob Barker was back in the set of “The Price Is Right,” one of America’s longest running game shows in television. Successor Drew Carey however need not worry that he might be relinquishing his post as Barker’s return was merely for promotional purposes. The 85-year-old former host was invited to promote his memoir aptly entitled “Priceless Memories.”
Barker hosted the CBS game show for 35 years before retiring, taping a total of 6,856 episodes before giving up his throne in June of 2007. The legendary show host has always been known to be an animal-lover and his retirement from national television has not stopped him being involved in various projects related to animal rights. Proceeds of the book will be given to the DJ&T foundation, a charity founded by Barker himself which is involved in controlling the pet population.
