Here’s the infamous Aaron Paul episode of Price is Right. It has more twists, turns, and heartbreak than an entire season of Breaking Bad.

For his part, he told the Los Angeles Times in 2000, “It was all in the minds of the women.”
Oh fuck off, Bob.

Bob was a pig.
True story: whenever someone I know goes to get a vasectomy, I tell them “Oh, you’re getting the Bob Barker!”

I’ve sometimes wondered if his middle name was Carnival. (Or at least a nickname.)

He was a pig because he got a vasectomy?
No, just a pig. The second paragraph is a separate, unrelated thought.

Anyone Betty White hated is not a good person in my book.

I love watching the Price Is Right channel on Pluto and Roku, it’s a snapshot of my youth. I love seeing the cars and other prizes, brings back fond merories. And the clothes from the 70s and 80s, those were something.
But, in what world can anyone watch those shows and think Barker was harmless. You could see quite a few contestants were pretty uncomfortable.
There was one episode where a woman was having a wardrobe malfunction that Bob was making fun of, she was really embarrassed until finally a camera man ran out and gave her a jacket.
And several times when he was bantering with the models you could see how uncomfortable they were.
But spay or neuter seems to have given him a free pass.

I had to look that up to see what the deal was. Apparently he wanted to move an elephant at the L.A. Zoo to an open sanctuary for elephants. Betty White insisted that the elephant stay at the zoo. If that’s the case, shame on Betty White.

Since Bob Barker seems like he was… problematic, here’s someone everyone’s more likely to miss (don’t blame me though, I’m just the messenger):
