The late game show legend Bob Barker delighted fans of “The Price Is Right” for 35 years, but a television career that long is bound to have plenty of moments where things went off the rails.
That’s especially the case for “The Price Is Right,” as the calm, composed Barker had a long history of handling contestants who were too enthusiastic or downright foolish, along with moments when the production crew suffered some major snafus.
Barker’s professionalism goes back to the very first contestant he ever brought up for a pricing game back in 1972: an exuberant lady named Connie who grinned and squealed through a game of Any Number as she won a new Chevrolet Vega.
