The Pride Is Wrong

A well-overdue moment will occur this coming June: Bob Barker, host of the ridiculously worn-out and one-dimensional game show "The Price Is Right" is setting down the mic after 35 years in favor of retirement. But before that happens, Bob took some time to flatter himself well beyond the point of being incorrigible with AOL News. Here are some excerpts of the interview.
...Hosting the daily CBS program - in which contestants chosen from the crowd "come on down" to compete for "showcases" that include trips, appliances and new cars - is "demanding physically and mentally," he said.

Yeah, it takes a lot of concentration to say,"You win!" or "Awwwww. I'm sorry," and to yank that microphone cord all over the stage.
To kick off his retirement, Barker said he will "sit down for maybe a couple of weeks and find out what it feels like to be bored." Oh, poor baby! I know a lot of retired people, and I can't categorize any of them as "bored."
He said he'd take on a movie role if the right one came along, but filmmakers, take note: "I refuse to do nude scenes. These Hollywood producers want to capitalize on my obvious sexuality, but I don't want to be just another beautiful body."
OK, I know he's saying this tongue-in-cheek... Then again, maybe he's not! After all, remember the scandal involving Janice Pennington a few short years ago? Yuck. I'd rather look at "Borat" wearing that neon-green bikini-thong than watch Bob buck nekkid!

All this is further proof that Bob's head is larger than life, and that he should be neutered (like a pet) before he becomes the next Tony Randall.
