Bob Barker, a household name for a half-century as host of Truth or Consequences and The Price Is Right, died Saturday. He was 99. “I have grown old in your service,” the silver-haired, perennially tanned Barker joked on a primetime television retrospective in the mid-’90s. In all, he taped more than 5,000 shows in his career. Pictured: Bob Barker waves goodbye as he tapes his final episode of The Price Is Right in Los Angeles on June 6, 2007.
On Jan. 22, 1957, NBC’s weekday game show Truth or Consequences, with Barker presiding, became the first program to be prerecorded on videotape for subsequent airing in all time zones. That first Ampex machine had the bulk of an industrial kitchen range, cost upward of $45,000 (about $200,000 in 2016 dollars) and recorded only in monochrome.
