Iconic game show host Bob Barker returned to his former home as host of CBS’ The Price Is Right on Thursday in honor of his 90th birthday and to promote his animal advocacy group.
Barker, who hosted the game show from 1972 to 2007, joined current host Drew Carey twice on stage. Once early in the show where he joked with the audience saying, “Figured out that it took me long enough to become 90 years old.” He was then joined on stage by a dog from a local animal shelter that is currently up for adoption.
On Barkers second visit to the stage he helped announce the day’s showcase. While he moved with caution, he spoke firmly and had lost no enthusiasm when I came to his hosting inflections, the show or his animal activism.
The iconic host expresses that he hopes he’ll be invited back for his 100th birthday.
