I could almost swear Bob Barker was on TV 50 years now
I noticed the factoid on CNN saying he has been doing Price Is Right 35 years and I could swear I have been watching him since I was a KID. I had thought he had been doing it for 50 years. (I am 55)
Bob Barker and Dick Clark...those are two from my childhood that always seemed to age so gracefully.

1. Bob Barker aged very gracefully
Dick Clark, on the other hand, has had WAAAAYYYY too much work done.

2. The show first
premiered in 1956 with Bill Cullen as the host. That ran until 1965.

The Bob Barker version was revived in 1972.

3. I remember Bill Cullen of course
Bob Barker wasn't around until the 70's?

5. That explains why he is a fixture from my childhood.
Now it rings a bell with me. Thanks for setting me straight.
