Bob Barker Returns to ‘The Price is Right’

Carey_Barker_2013One lucky (and unsuspecting) audience attending an upcoming taping of The Price is Right will be treated to an appearance by the game show’s longtime host Bob Barker, as the Emmy Award-winning legend returns to his old CBS Television City studio to celebrate his 90th birthday.

“We’ve had Bob on just one other time since Drew Carey took over the show,” says executive producer Mike Richards. “It was when Bob’s book, Priceless Memories, came out and it was a priceless moment for fans. I was looking for the perfect reason to bring Bob back again and this TV legend turning 90 is the perfect reason.”

Barker’s pre-taped, one-day appearance will air on his birthday, Dec. 12, during a weeklong tribute (Dec. 9-13) to the animal rights crusader. “Monday through Friday we’re going to be doing pet adoptions, which is something Bob did on the show for years,” explains Richards.
