Bob Barker was the show, no questions asked, he and announcers Johnny Olson & Rod Roddy and the beauties gave the show the spirit it's remembered for, kept it running from 1972 to 2007. Been watching tons of the Barker era episodes lately on Pluto/YouTube, yesterday saw the 15th anniversary episode where Mark Goodson appeared with his epic dedication poem about the show and all those who worked on it and made it what it is, saying how amazing it was for the show to have been around 15 years and ratings as high as they still were. I remember I wrote a Facebook message to Bob back in 2014 telling him how proud I was of his life's accomplishments, and he responded he was touched by it. Also week before last, when I went down to LA to watch Wheel of Fortune, I stopped by Hollywood to look at the sights, including the Walk Of Fame, and I drove by and got a look at what I believe is Bob's house.
Don't get me wrong, Drew Carey is good at what he does, but there's never going to be another face for The Price Is Right other than Bob's, just like Alex Trebek will always be the face of Jeopardy! no matter who takes over, it's no one's fault, it's just nature.
