The Price is Rude

The long running game show "The Price is Right" just celebrated its 40th anniversary. Bob Barker the host for 35 of those 40 years wasn't asked to be involved with the show. The show included past participants and winners but not the long time host. They did show clips of him but he was not invited to attend the taping which is shot oddly enough in the Bob Barker Studio at CBS. Bob Barker has long been a supporter of PETA and has donated millions of dollars to animal rights causes. He closed every show with a plea to spay and neuter pets.

Bob Barker is the longest running host of any game show. Mr Barker was also the first TV host to not dye his hair but to let it go white. In the 1990's Bob Barker and the "Price is Right" were sued by a handful of models and female production staff for wrongful termination and sexual harrassment.
It still would have been nice to invite Bob Barker to attend the taping of the anniversary show. When asked about his exclusion Bob Barker said he was "fine" with it.
