On my first visit to Hollyweird I went to the Tonight Show and The Price is right in 1987 among other events and shows. I was not called down.

Dian Parkinson sued for sexual harassment. At least two others, Lanisha Cole, and Deborah Curling sued the show and Barker for sex harassment and other job related stuff.

Wouldn’t it be good if the first thing he heard was Johnny Olson shouting “Bob Barker, come on UP!!!”

They choose those people based on a combination of youth, outward enthusiasm, good disposition, ability to not clam up on TV, and general healthy photogenic appearance.
I tried to get on a few shows. I had none of those traits, but I noticed the choices made had those qualities PLUS an interesting background so the host could make a funny comment about it, or some outstanding physical trait. I remember one contestant had a beautiful smile, seemed almost a mile wide.

Bob was such a champion for animals. I imagine he is being greeted in heaven right now by quite a huge contingent of animals he helped here. Truly one of the greats! Thank you Bob Barker.

True, but wasn't Bob spayed and neutered?
