Bob Barker | 12/12/1923 | 98

The Price Is Right may have already found a new host, but we cannot possibly shy away from the fact that Bob Barker was the man of the show. For over 30 years of hosting the syndicated program, he has undoubtedly entertained and helped many people who wanted to receive a little bit of luck the show brings. However, before hosting the game show where contestants have to guess the price, he already proved to be an extraordinary host from the long-running game show Truth or Consequences. 

A little background, Robert William Barker was born on December 12, 1923, in Darrington, Washington. Shortly after celebrating his 50th anniversary on television in 2007, he officially retired. To his credit, Robert has 19 Emmy Awards and hails as Time Magazine’s Greatest Game Show Host of All-Time. After announcing his inevitable retirement, he spent most of his time advocating animal welfare and even saw reports of donating millions to various charities.
