Bob Barker Returns To The Price Is Right

Bob Barker invited TheInsider.com in his old dressing room on The Price Is Right when he returned to the show to promote his new book, Priceless Memories.

Bob and Drew Carey, the new host for The Price Is Right, started talking about diet and Drew wanted some veg tips to help him stick around longer.

“I did the show until I was 83. I don’t believe I could have done that had I not been a vegetarian,” Bob said.

“I became a vegetarian out of concern for animals. But very soon after I became a vegetarian, I could see why people do it out of concern for health because I had more energy and I felt better.”

Wanna know the best kiss Drew Carey ever got? It was from Bob, of course, after Drew told him he’d continue to advocate spaying and neutering pets on the show like Bob did. 

You can view the video at The Insider to hear Bob talk veggie and his passion for animals.

Bob Barker Returns To The Price Is Right

Bob Barker returned to the set of The Price Is Right recently to promote his new book, Priceless Memories, due out April 6th.

Proceeds from the book sales will go towards DJ&T Foundation, which he founded in 1994 to help foot the bill of spaying and neutering animals.

The longtime vegetarian is the owner of many animals himself, including two rabbits named “Mr. Rabbit,” and “Honey Bunny,” and always ended each Price Is Right show with his signature sign-off, “Help control the pet population, have your pets spayed or neutered.”

Barker proved he was both a host and a comedian as two prize showcases were, cough, cough, “heavily themed” with his book.

For example, one showcase featured a computer where you could order the book, trip to New York City to buy a bundle of the books from the publisher, and a truck to haul them all back in.

Hilarious!

Priceless Memories contains Bob’s experiences as a host on several shows including The Price is Right, Truth or Consequences, Miss USA, and Miss Universe.

Favorite contestants, celebrity encounters, as well as his personal life being raised through the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl are given pages. 

Some sections also discuss his passion for animal rights and include real life examples of his work, such as having an anti-fur stance for the beauty pagents he hosted.
