Bob Barker Returns To “The Price Is Right” For 90th Birthday Celebration Special

Even though the Emmy Award-winning host of the famed CBS daytime game show was not invited to appear throughout the show's entire 40th milestone season, he will be returning to the Bob Barker Studios to celebrate his 90th birthday. Bob Barker will be coming back to The Price Is Right to make a one-show appearance to air December 12, on Barker’s birthday, during a weeklong tribute to the former host, which begins December 9. “Monday through Friday, we’re going to be doing pet adoptions, which is something Bob did on the show for years,” said executive producer Mike Richards in regards to what the plans for the special week entailed. Sadly, this episode will air during the daytime, instead of it being a nighttime special. 

The Scuttlebutt On GSN Part Cinq: Dates Set for “Mind Of A Man”, Marathon Tribute To Marcia Wallace and “The Chase”

Besides the premiere of Trust Me, I’m A Game Show Host and a fairly recent record-breaking performance on The Price Is Right, the American game show news wire has been rather dry in the past couple of weeks until recently with the death of well-known game show panelist Marcia Wallace and GSN setting a premiere date for a new original game show. Additionally, the network’s breakout hit series, The Chase, will be returning to GSN in nearly exactly one week from today. As well all of my “Scuttlebutt On GSN” articles, I will be only spotlighting the newest updates from the aforementioned network.
