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.
