That was very gracious of Janice to grant ET that interview. Despite the issues Bob ultimately had with her, Dian, Holly and Kathleen, it was Janice who was happy to smile about it all and say "I treasure so many memories that we made." Clearly, she has been able to come to terms with it all.
i wonder if they'll interview holly or dian despite the bad lawsuits back when
@@retroguy1976 Nope. I highly doubt if either one of them would be willing to come forward (Holly especially)
@@retroguy1976 Apparently there is a tell-all book that the author has returned to writing because the lawsuit threats are no more. But I only heard this from someone elsewhere so take it with a grain of salt and nothing else.
@@jimmyboyzableKathleen made 2 post on her instagram saying R.I.P. to Bob as she mentioned that despite their issues that he was the man of Tpir.
@@jakimsingletary164 - I follow Kathleen on Facebook and she made the same posts about him there as well.
I'll bet 99% of Generation X and Millennials spent their childhoods on their sick days, snow days and summers watching Bob Barker hosting The Price is Right in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. I know a piece of my childhood is now gone to the great beyond. RIP, Bob.
Yup. I was 1 of them
100% It was Jerry Springer then Price is Right on sick days lmfao
I am boomer, I remember sick days from school and summer vacation watching TPIR.
I was too. R.I.P Bob Barker.
@@Vagabor123 in the NYC market they had both on at the same time ay 11am it continued even when drew carey hosted then I watched springer well anyway rip to both springer and barker
Great to see Janice again after all this time! So glad she took the high road by reflecting positively about her time on the show. She's a class act and has not been forgotten by loyal fans of the Price is Right.
I agree. That was a great interview. I've never forgotten about Janice. 👍
Bob Barker is joined with fellow game show hosts Richard Dawson, Alex Trebek, Monty Hall, Gene Rayburn, etc.
Love all of their successors 100%, too! Love Drew Carey, Steve Harvey, Wayne Brady, etc.
R.I.P. to legends!
so many hosts gone its crazy
How incredible is it to see Janice again?! I hate how her time with Price Is Right ended but I’m so glad she has come to a resolve to be able to publicly talk about this. The same with Kathleen and her words about Bob on Facebook Saturday. It makes my heart smile even in the midst of sadness over the loss of Bob Barker.
A lovely, well-done tribute to a fine man. And how nice it was to see Janice Pennington. I know she left "The Price is Right" after nearly 30 years under unpleasant circumstances, and she must be a very kind and gracious person.
It's great to see Janice again. She was always full of class and took the high road when things got rocky with her and Bob. I'm glad they reconciled. I'm also happy to know Bob passed away with dignity, many of us won't have that luxury. He lived a wonderful full life. RIP and thank you for all the years of entertainment, Bob.
Janice still looks wonderful!
At 81 years old 👵🏻, of course.
Janice looks absolutely beautiful for 81!! She is my favorite Barker's Beauties of all-time!! I was so hoping Janice would give an interview; what total class she is!! RIP Bob Barker 🙏; God Bless & Godspeed Janice Pennington ❤!!
Bob Barker and Betty White I think had a lot of things in common. They both just barely missed their one hundredth birthday. They both had great senses of humor, and their passion and compassion for animals is on another level. I think that that kind of love for animals, you would think they are both looking down and not looking up. They are dancing in heaven today.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m glad someone else have the same thought as mine.
I felt they had a lot in common too ❤❤❤
Bob was a quiet man. He loved simple things. He was very private, and low profiled. I wished cbs would pay tribute to him by showing tpir reruns with him all in one week. 🪦
If you own a SAMSUNG 4K tv there is a 24 hour TPIR channel on Samsung TV Plus (CH 1140)....@@TroyGoodwin
I've watched Bob Barker since his Truth or Consequences days. I can hear God say "Bob Barker come on up". He was a remarkable man. RIP Bob Barker. Love and Prayers from Canada 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸🙏🕊🌹
Rest in peace Bob Barker you won't be forgotten
So nice to see Janice!! Very gracios of her to do this interview, despite how she was treated in 2000... Shows her true character and her love for Bob
Thank God for Janice Pennington to come back into our TV lives, after over 20 years. It’s one thing to miss a true legend like Bob Barker, and I always will (especially since he was so close to his 100th birthday), but the one thing I’m also grateful for, is Janice coming back and sharing her truest feelings about Bob and the show, that she wasn’t able to do, when Barker was still alive.
She still looks so beautiful, at the age of 81, and with that, I hope she continues to find peace and guidance, for the rest of her life, outside of The Price is Right, where I grew to adore her, for all my life.
Peace, Janice, and Peace, Bob. 🕊️
I was born in the mid-seventies and I loved watching Bob as a kid, especially in the summer. My mom would sometimes watch too. Good memories!
Not just him but all those game shows.
Same here (1976). Besides summer days, sick and snow days (of which one of them was the day the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up) always included TPIR along with $25,000 Pyramid and Press Your Luck. (And if you ask why I mentioned Challenger, I was watching TPIR when CBS News broke in with the news about Challenger).
I was at home sick from school too and saw that about the Challenger. I agree too that there were other game shows that were enjoyable as well, like the ones you mentioned. I'll never forget seeing Michael Larson on Press Your Luck.@@rwboa22
OMG Janice! I got goosebumps seeing her talk and get emotional despite the way she left the show:( beautiful to see her again
I was born in the 1980s and I’ve been watching the Price Is Right since the 1990s and 2000s you will be missed Mr Bob Barker Rest In Paradise 😢😢😢❤
Janice Pennington you are a gracious and classy lady, thank you for coming back to talk about Mr. Barker, with all that history...
I'm so glad we still have his work on film and tape. Thank you, Bob, for all the smiles! RIP, you wonderful man!
theres tons of old tpir's on you tube watch away
@@retroguy1976i definitely watch TPIR the Barker years every day, Bob will Always be The Price Is Right.
@@thomasparnell1025 def a throwback in time for sure
RIP Bob and thank you for being the greatest game show host ever!
He will be remembered for all the great work he did for his love of animals. He will be greatly missed.
What a great human being, we need more people like him. He is part of our lives growing up and watching him on THE PRICE IS RIGHT.
August 31, 2000 I was having contractions pregnant with my daughter Allison. Turned out I wasn’t progressing so doctor said you need to have a c-section. It was 11 am est. Price is Right just started and I remembered saying to my husband, “What about Bob Barker? The Price is Right was on. “ She was born 11:07 am lol she wasn’t waiting nor was the doctor lol that’s my favorite price is right story even almost 23 years ago 😊 He will be truly missed 💖
So great to see Janice again after all this time. Still a beauty and her good attitude is refreshing. I hope she writes a book about it all.
I don't know that I would have the same grace and poise like Janice does in a similar situation. Quite a learning moment for all. Glad to see she's still as amazing as ever!
He made it as close to 100 without going over.
RIP Bob Barker, The Reigning King of Daytime TV!!!
I would've loved if Bob made another guest appearance on the Price Is Right for his 100th Birthday like how he did for his 90th, but that will never be now.
However, he lived a long a great life. 99 is still a milestone.
after the april fools appearance in 2015, he never wanted to go back plus covid 19 came along by then he was frail in a wheelchair mainly with in home care till the end
Nice to see Janice 23 years later and she can say nice things especially how things ended between them
IIRC, it was CBS (not BB) that let Janice go.
I'm pleasantly surprised to see Janice interviewed. She still looks wonderful. Especially considering she left abruptly and probably not on the best terms in late 2000 so a new wave of models could take over.
I noticed on Facebook that former Barker’s Beauty Kathleen Bradley talked about her memories with Bob Barker and The Price Is Right even though she was fired in 2000.
Time heals all wounds in most cases.
Yeah, it's surprising. She accused Bob of sexual harassment
For 29 years, Janice Pennington served as a model on The Price Is Right, handing the microphone to Bob Barker at the start of more than 5,000 shows. She also handed off to Dennis James and Tom Kennedy while the show was in syndication in 1972-77 and 1985-86, respectively.
During a 1976 syndicated episode, host Dennis James called the mountain-climber character in the Cliff Hangers game Fritz, unaware that Pennington's husband Fritz Stammberger had disappeared while mountain climbing in the mid-1970s. As the contestant lost the game and the mountain-climber figure tumbled over the cliff, James shouted "There goes Fritz!," causing Pennington to run from the stage in tears.
In June 1988, a camera hit Pennington, knocking her unconscious. She was taken to a hospital and taping of the episode resumed after 45 minutes. Pennington's resulting surgery left her with scars and one shoulder shorter than the other; as a result, she could no longer wear swimsuits on the show. A substitute model took Pennington's place during her recovery from the injury.
Pennington's last episode of The Price Is Right was the December 13, 2000, episode following the show's takeover by Pearson Television earlier in the year. She signed a confidential settlement agreement.
It’s great that Janice seems to have gotten over those incidents mentioned above- and she looks great for 81!
@@andream7500 Not exactly. That was Dian Parkinson.
It was wonderful to hear from Janice after all this time.
What a pleasure to see Janice again! I hope she makes more public appearances in the near future. Maybe a reunion with the other original models (Anitra, Dian, Holly, and Kathleen)??? All of those ladies are legendary!
Bob Barker is one of my idols
From watching it as a baby to enjoying it whether on school break or home from school
It was sad when he retired ironically my mom retired from teaching 35 years as did Bob
I felt that looking back when you carry took over swiftest change of the guard that worked out in the end
The memories will always be priceless now Bob Ken reunite with his old friends Johnny Rod mark his love Dorothy his mother and everybody he has touched over the years and they’ll probably be playing plinking up in the sky somewhere
I'm glad that Miss Pennington showed a lot of respect for him after his passing.
RIP Bob Barker! Great interviews here. The original and Queen of Barker's Beauties still looks great!! Go Janice!!
She’s also THE MOM OF BARKER’S BEAUTIES, Mrs Janice Pennington!!! :) :) :)
Bob Barker, Thank you for making my sick days that much more enjoyable. even on days I was fine but on break from school I still tuned in.
I’m truly mourning him …and remembering all precious time I spent watching TPIR with my beloved grandma 😢 Thank you Mr. Barker. May you enjoy heaven with all the animals you gave so much devotion to ❤
I was blessed to be in the audience of TPIR two times. I was able to speak with Bob both times during commercial breaks. Such a kind, humble, and intelligent man. I’d been watching him since I was 5, in the summer and when home sick from school. I’ll miss him for all he did for animals. ❤
What a blessing to see Janice Pennington in the interview!! After her departure in 2000, we never saw her face on public TV until now!!
Despite the wrongful termination she had to deal with I am sure she is at peace now enjoying her life and just thinking about the memories she shared with Barker during the 28 years she was a model.
#RIPBobBarker your legacy will always continue to live on
A beautifully done piece on the best game show host ever. There are no words...i am heartbroken on one hand but so happy that he has been reunited with his beloved wife.
Thanks for helping us kids who were home from school whether sick, a snow day or summer vacation get through the rough days and make the good days that much better. We all owe you so much as you have meant so much to us all.
Rest in peace Bob.
Loved Bob Barker, watched him faithfully. He was an icon of America.
I am grateful to watch The Price is Right in the 1990s and 2000s in my childhood and teenage years. Bob Barker was one of the greatest TV hosts in history. May his soul rest in peace. 🙏🏽❤😢
While it's sad Bob passed I gotta say it was really nice to see and hear from Janice herself! Thanks ET!
Bob Barker was obviously one of a kind. I grew up watching "The Price is Right", and Bob and his game show hosts were always able to make me forget about my problems in school as well as the real world. Plus, it's awesome to know the he was a huge supporter for animal rights, as well as being devoted to his late wife and later girlfriend. Finally, he always seemed like a really cool person to hang out with, as well as having the ability to live to the age of 99. Bob, rest in peace, and I hope to meet you in the afterlife.
a legend he was a staple in our house when we had a sick day from school that twinkle in his eye he brought joy to so many people may he rip
OMG rest in paradise Bob Janice looks amazing
THIS... was a legend. And Janice ... Stunning, as always. She just glows! What a beautiful tribute.
How he will be missed! He put his money, heart, and soul into his passion.
I was born right at the end of the third year right before it went to an hour. I had never seen a show of that era until CBS aired one episode after the Pillsbury Bake-Off on February 29, 2000. The episode was from May 1975, a month before I was born. It was hilarious - and I couldn't believe how quickly Janice and Anitra had to move around on set - the showcases were unbelievably polished - they had the show together then - and how the music was the same! It is such a blessing to see Vanna White's note and especially Janice Pennington adding a tribute. Thank you for your laughter and smiles - the end of the Golden Road has the most expensive prize - streets of gold to Heaven.
Your a were GREAT GREAT soul Bob Barker. You are Loved Beyond Words!
There will be no one like BOB BARKER Blessings to you and the family. Gone but not forgotten.
The man was one of a kind, handsome, tall, charming and charismatic, and very talented at what he did. He truly was a legend and a wonderful human being, God rest his soul.
Awww 😢... Bob Barker.
My 1st Game Show watching as a young child with my folks.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️🕊️
Thank you Bob for the memories I loved watching you when I was younger.
I miss these types of people on tv. People with CLASS and style and charisma. We no longer have anyone that would even come close to this man.
So great to see Janice! It was a shame she had to leave the show in not so good terms. Yet despite all of that she had nothing but great memories working with Bob! And even at 81 she still looks lovely & beautiful! Like she said he was the best! He was more than just an idol! He was a icon! Watching this great man growing up! I'm just so heartbroken that he's no longer with us anymore! 😢💔🙏
Thank you Bob Barker for all the memories you shared with all of us on the earth we will miss you too we still can watch your show on Pluto tv
It's so nice of Janice to say nothing but great things about him.
Janice still looks amazing!!! I wish they'd bring her back for a tribute episode where she could do what she did best
It would be so epic if Janice appears on December 12th, in what would've been Bob's 100th birthday.
@@jacobtapianieto9655 oh yes!!! It would be such a sweet surprise to see her hand off the mic say a few words then showcase a few things like a queen! She was always the original. Bob's gal Friday
What a shock to see Janice Pennington interviewed, after Bob died. She was like a "surrogate daughter" to him, over the years! May he #RIP!
I can't blame him for not having a funeral or memorial service. It literally would be a national day of mourning on the level of a Presidental death. That's how beloved he is by fans of all ages, all backgrounds. The pilgrimage just to go see him would literally shut down California.
he wanted it that way and I agree LA would be bananas just a simple burial next to Dorothy Jo is what was needed
Wow! It’s awesome seeing Janice again.
RIP Bob Barker
Janice's first appearance on TV in 22 years. Some time after her last episode as a model on TPIR in December 2000, she had co-hosted the GSN (Game Show Network) Green Ball Awards special with Todd Newton on March 24, 2001
Bob Barker was a part of my childhood, my mom and grandfather watched his show every day. We only had three tv channels at that time, but his show was a show to never miss. He made people smile and feel happiness everytime he graced the television with his Price is Right game show. He has such charisma, charm, and a smile that was infectious on others. He made me smile a lot. I love what he did for animals, and their rights. He was and will always be a legend to all who loved him and everything he stood for. God speed Bob Barker, we will never forget you.
Very sad ever since I watched the price is right with my mother she loved watching Bob Barker in the price of right now God is the host of the price is right and told Bob Barker come on down. You’re the next contestant on returning home to heaven. Just like my mother is up in heaven.
We will always miss you, Bob Barker, and my mother R.I.P Bob Barker, and I miss my mother, who is a fan of the price is right
Janice was truly the most gorgeous one. Number one class act. Real beauty ...nothing fake about her
How nice to see the lovely Janice, she was always my favorite I have an autographed photo of her from 1979! Rest in peace Bob 😢
What a beauty! She was always my favorite!
Bob was simply the best. You can tell he was the kindest man. When I have memories of me as a child, staying home from school when I was sick, The Price Is Right was one of my reliable remedies. Thank you Bob for your kindness, warmth and entertainment, you will be missed!
Bob Barker will definitely be remembered!!
The lovely Janice is first class all the way!
....I think it's high time to give credit to "The Beauties"; Holly, Janice & Dian are THE benchmark Game Show Models, and helped make Bob, AND "TPIR", what it is today...Janice granting this Interview shows how classy this trifecta of Models gave the WORLD joy & entertainment....
Dear Price Is Right Family, All of you make our hearts happy. Bob Barker was a wonderful MC who likewise made our hearts happy, and we'll continue the smiles with new episodes as well as old ones. As for Drew Carey, you have held the banner high and are a terrific host as well.
He will never be forgotten by many Generations. He definitely made a mark on us Generation X children ❤ God bless Robert William Barker and give him Peace🕯️
Thank you Mr. Bob Barker!… LEGEND!… sir you brought such happiness to so many of us for so long. Their will never be another you! I am crying because your memory we shall hold you close to our hearts. Rest in peace… 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏻 we will always love you…
It was sure good to see Janice again speaking on BOB'S life and her relationship with him. She was with him from day one. I'm sorry the others didn't speak on his passing. Although they probably didn't feel the same they could have said something. R.I.P. WGMC You will be missed by lot's of ppl and pets! ❤
To Bob Barker, THANK YOU FOR AMAZING PERSON WITH HIS SENSE OF HUMOR AND LAUGHTER'S THE PRICE OF RIGHT. REST IN PEACE 🕊️
That was, indeed, generous and, kind, to say, what she did. Classy lady.
Remembering watching this show during my childhood 😢
Will be missed. My favorite game show since the 80's
Remember 70s Barkers Beauties
RIP Bob. Thanks for making my holidays, summer and sick days more enjoyable as an 80’s/ 90’s kid.
Have always loved and been a fan of Janice and her sister Ann. So glad she put everything aside for her tribute to Bob.
The best part is we had him for 35 years on TPIR. There's a Pluto channel just for his episodes. if you played his ENTIRE 72 to 07 episodes it would take up every single day for probably over a decade if you played it 24/7 of all his shows. We had him just be glad we got him for 99 years. He went closest without going over a dollar.
What a super nice guy! He will be missed!!! ❤
Janice. A class act.
Nothing but love for him. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Watching TPIR 40 years ago was part of my childhood, it was automatic and what people almost took for granted. R.I.P. to Bob Barker.. there won't ever be another game show host like him. Legend.
lovely words by Janice, such a nice tribute to a wonderful TV star
Janice still looks good! I still see Kathleen on Facebook and she still looks great! They could still model if they were given the chance. Summer breaks, sick days and Christmas breaks were the best days watching TPIR, then the noon news and then the stories (aka soap operas) with my nana and mom.
RIP Bob Barker. You'll be missed. You were a part of my childhood
May he rest in peace I used to watch him on The Price is Right way back in the days my family and I used to watch him every single day love The Price is Right ❤️❤️🙏🙏🇨🇦
I was born in Dec 1982 and Bob Barker & Janice Pennington always have a special place in my heart throughout my childhood since I was an infant. I still remember when Bob had dark hair and when Johnny Olsen was alive. As a 3 year old kid, I had a chopstick and pretend it was Bob's microphone. When school closed & sick days, The Price is Right is the place to be. Rest well Bob. Tell Mark Goodson thank you.
I was born in Jan 1982. I can totally relate. These people we're a part of my formative years. Thanks for the memories.
When Bob Barker said come on down, you watch people running to him with his heart wide open. I believe God told him Come on down saturday morning with his heart wide open. No one can buy what he was. He is a legend with the love and respect of all. My boss and her husband were on the last week of price is right before he retired. He husband won the showcase and she said Bob barker was just so genuine...rip mr barker. God knew what he was doing
Rip my man so close to 100 we all love you so much just thank you for everything 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤
#RipBobBarker 🪦
I tried watching one of his shows earlier today in his honor and I couldn’t get through the entrance. Childhood memories came flooding back and I just broke down into tears. Bob was my entire childhood. He will be truly missed
R.I.P. Bob Barker. Enjoyed watching TPIR on sick days, vacation days or in the summer when school was out for the summer vacation. I bet him, Johnny Olsen and Rod Roddy are having a blast up there. Thanks to Janice Pennington for her interview.
For many Gen X schoolchildren; Bob Barker was the TV grandpa who kept them company when they were home from school due to being sick, if it was during a holiday break, a teachers in-service or if school was out for the summer. Those kids would tune in to their local CBS station just to see Bob and hear his voice.
He was 99 “without going over”. He will be missed.
❤❤❤ Bob, you were an American Treasure. RIP
Thanks, Bob Barker for all the good memory on Price is Right.
R.I.P. Sir thank you for all your years of making us smile and for the love that you wanted us to share.
Will be missed very much 🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏 Thank you Bob for the memories
