I can remember the Price is Right being on when I was 4-5 yeas old, that was 1976-75...

He had one hell of a long run.

TPiR rules!
Actually I think the last episode will be aired either Thurs the 14th or Fri the 15th IIRC

[Gipper]

CleanLX is correct, 35 years doing TPIR with a total of 50 years doing television. (he was on Truth or Dare before TPIR) I think the last show will be aired on the 15th and it will re-air during prime time later that same night. Rumor has it.... Everyone in the entire audience might be getting a car.... we'll see.

Dian Parkinson, a prize model for The Price Is Right from 1975 to 1993, filed an $8 million lawsuit against Barker for sexual harassment. Barker admitted that he had sexual relations with Parkinson but stated, "As God is my witness I never asked her to do anything she didn't want to do" and that everything was indeed consensual. Parkinson declared herself no financial match to Barker and his resources and gave up her legal fight with him in 1995.

Barker was involved in more legal trouble with a Price model in 1995. Holly Hallstrom, a model from 1977 to 1995, stated that she had gained 14 pounds due to a prescription medication and that Barker used the weight gain as an excuse to fire her, which Barker denied. Hallstrom alleged that the real reason Barker fired her was because she had refused to support Barker when Parkinson sued him for sexual harassment. Barker responded with a lawsuit for slander and libel, Barker v. Hallstrom, claiming Hallstrom was lying, but the court declared Hallstrom the prevailing party and ordered Plaintiff Barker to pay all Hallstrom's legal fees. Hallstrom countersued Barker and in October 2005 Hallstrom received a multi-million-dollar out-of-court settlement.

Since 1996, Bob Barker has been sued by six women for charges including sexual harassment, racial discrimination and wrongful termination (most notably by Janice Pennington and Kathleen Bradley, two other longtime and well-known models on the show). To date all the women have received out-of-court financial settlements, save one (Reigert), which is still pending.

He was banging all the hot model too!
