2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
In front of the camera, he has been invited into the homes of millions of Americans as host of The Price Is Right, Truth or Consequences, Miss USA, Miss Universe, The Rose Parade, and many other programs and specials. Now Bob Barker shares stories of favorite contestants, episodes, celebrity encounters, and behind-the-scenes happenings. Beyond his public persona, he will open up about his personal life. From being raised on a Native American reservation by a single mother through the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl, to training as a pilot in the Navy during World War II, through his romance with the love of his life and high school sweetheart, Dorothy Jo, and his success at retirement. His support of animal rights has always been a central part of his life. Bob delves into stories of how he has taken on Hollywood and the government in his crusade, including his anti-fur stand-off with beauty pageants, his involvement in uncovering animal abuse in movies and television, and the legislation he helped to pass. He also shares personal stories of rescuing animals, from dogs to elephants. For the innumerable fans who have welcomed Bob into their homes over the last fifty years, this book will be like catching up with a dear and familiar friend who continues to lead a full and endlessly interesting life.

dabbe Not BB? I have such fond memories watching that show. “You're the next contestant ... c'mon down!“ Still, 99 is an admirable age. 😢 8mo

Many of my fondest childhood memories include watching The Price Is Right with my Mèmére (maternal grandmother). I loved learning more about Bob as something other than an audience anticipation host?

CBee I watched it with my grandma as well ♥️♥️ 3y
TheAromaofBooks Love the Price is Right!! When my mother-in-law had cancer & we were going to lots of appointments, she used to purposefully schedule them so we would be in the waiting room when this show was on 😂 3y
DieAReader @TheAromaofBooks Always about timing?? Mèmére always made lunch (& then I did) so that we could watch from the dining room while we ate? 3y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I spent many summer days watching this! I may have been the only 11 year old getting angry at the people guessing way too high or low. 🤣 3y
CoverToCoverGirl Ahh.... Mr. Barker.... come on down! Fond childhood memories indeed! 3y
