RIP Bob Barker
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date
When him and Dian Parkinson were doing their thing I was so jealous.
I always liked his animal rights message at the end of every Price Is Right show.

Bob Barker got as close as he could to 100 without going over
Wonder if when he passed the last words he heard were "Bob Barker come on up!!"
"This guy sucks."
The man who made Adam Sandler's career. Bob Barker studied Karate and was a longtime holder of a Black Belt when he made Happy Gilmore.

I liked his wife's answer to a question regarding why they had a successful marriage. She said "I love Bob Barker, and Bob Barker loves Bob Barker!"
RIP
RIP
You could see her fawning over him at the end of every show after the showcase winner was crowned.
I was surprised when it happened.
They would put her in a bikini as much as they could.
Later after she was let go from the show she tried to sue them and Bob if I recall correctly.
He gave a statement to the press that although they worked together on the show he barely talked to her. He said she would come to his trailer and give him oral sex. He stated he's a widower so what's the big deal,lol. I nearly fell over when I watched the clip. He made her look extremely bad. I don't think Holly Hallstrom had anything nice to say about him either.

Lawsuits
In 1994, former model Dian Parkinson filed a lawsuit against Barker alleging sexual harassment following a three-year affair while working on The Price Is Right. Parkinson, who alleged that she was extorted by threats of firing, later dropped her lawsuit, claiming the stress from the ordeal was damaging her health.
In 1995, model Holly Hallstrom left The Price Is Right and later filed suit against Barker, alleging that the reason she was fired was not so much because of her 14-pound (6.4 kg) medication-mediated weight gain (as documented) but because, to Barker's displeasure, she refused to give false information to the media regarding Parkinson's suit, as she alleges Barker had requested she do. Barker countersued for slander, but Hallstrom prevailed, receiving a settlement in 2005.
In October 2007, Deborah Curling, a CBS employee assigned to The Price Is Right, filed a lawsuit against CBS, Bob Barker, and The Price Is Right producers, claiming that she was forced to quit her job after testifying against Barker in a wrongful-termination lawsuit brought by a previous show producer. Curling claimed that she was demoted to an "intolerable work environment" backstage, which caused her to leave the job. Curling, who is black, also alleged that the show's producers, including Barker, created a hostile work environment in which black employees and contestants were discriminated against. A few months later, Barker was removed from the lawsuit, and in September 2009, the lawsuit was dismissed. Curling's attorney stated that he planned to appeal the dismissal of the lawsuit. In January 2012, the California Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal.
Satan says "Come on down!".
Barker's sexual harassment allegations were an everyday item on tabloid entertainment television in spring, 1994, until the spotlight was pointed at O J Simpson.
