“The Price Is Right” was TV’s longest-running game show and the last on a broadcast network of what in TV’s early days had numbered dozens.
Barker stayed with “Truth or Consequences” for 18 years — including several years in a syndicated version. Barker was back with Carey for one show broadcast in April 2009. He was there to promote the publication of his memoir, “Priceless Memories,” in which he summed up his joy from hosting the show as the opportunity “to watch people reveal themselves and to watch the excitement and humor unfold.”
As a TV personality, Barker retained a touch of the old school — for instance, no wireless microphone for him. Like the mic itself, the mic cord served him well as a prop, insouciantly flicked and finessed.
