message: # 4me689 - this is a better picture overall, we always use younger photos when a person dies and he's actually looking at the camera so that's a plus.
#  This is a far superior photo. While old, it reflects Barker at the height of his career, Coretheapple (talk) 16:32, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

message: Barker’s death certificate, obtained by TMZ, says he died from Alzheimer’s Disease. This is no doubt worth adding.

message: Bob Barker's apperance on the TV Show 'How I Met Your Mother' S2E20 'Showdown' (2007) should be added. Drezirale (talk) 06:05, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Was it any more significant than a one-off cameo? Have any sources discussed it beyond a cursory mention? DonIago (talk) 14:03, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: His actual appearance is in this episode. However, there is a running gag for seven of the nine sessions of the program that Bob Barker is the biological father of a major character of the show. Drezirale (talk) 10:50, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  How I Met Your Mother Apperance 

message: Correction to this page and the formation of the New Price is Right involving both Bob Barker and Dennis James. As the page reads currently, it is not accurate.
"In 1972 Dennis James did a presentation film with Mark Goodson in order to sell the "New Price is Right!" Mark wanted Dennis as both the Daytime and Syndicated (Nighttime) Host after seeing Dennis Host an episode of "Let's Make a Deal" when Monty Hall was ill. The Syndicated version of The New Price is Right was sold First! Most of the stations that picked up the Syndicated version were owned and operated by NBC! CBS then had an interest in Buying the Daytime version. They had two issues, they Owed Bob Parked a Show, per his contract with them and CBS did not want to use Dennis James and he was already perceived as the "NBC" Nighttime Host of the Show. Dennis served as Host of the Nighttime version for the full 5 years of the syndication deal with NBC." Bwj12 (talk) 18:12, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: The above paragraph should replace the first paragraph on the Barker Page under the Heading "The Price is Right Return 1972-2007. What is currently there is not accurate. Bwj12 (talk) 17:10, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

text: I explained exactly what paragraph needs to be replaced with the new paragraph I wrote. I am a reliable source. I was there in 1972 and my father was Dennis James, who did the pilot for the New Price Is Right. Bwj12 (talk) 20:18, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
