Carrie Grosvenor's Game Shows Blog (a great site, almost working alongside Alex Davis) reports that Betty White will be pre-taping her tribute to Mark Goodson for the awards ceremony, so Barker may have gotten his way... again.

Egads. I remember Steve Beverly using that picture on his site a time or two. I hope that wasn't a CBS approved photo...

I'll be at the awards in all the action, so if anyone has anything they'd like me to say or do to Mr. Barker, just let me know beforehand, haha.

You'll be able to see me on the telecast.  I'll have a shirt on that says, "I'm Alex Davis!" since no one will have a god damn clue who I am.

I'd ask Bob: What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down and a dog do with one leg raised?  If you don't tell the truth you'll have to pay the consequences.



Answer: Shake hands.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

I think they should invite Tom Kennedy who might say something that will make Barker storm out in a huff.

Refresh my memory, what did he say at the GSC?
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

Probably something along the lines of "When I hosted the Price is Right", to which Barker's ego shattered as he couldn't handle someone else hosting HIS show.

/OK, probably not, but I could see it happening

...that he didn't even want to host to begin with. Didn't he get annoyed because he didn't get a standing ovation from the crowd? I'm starting to wonder if he himself requested the standing Os in the 80s.

Sorry to disappoint, but it was a lot tamer than that, though I can't remember the specifics.  As I recall it, something innocuous Kennedy said gave Barker an opening to make a little quip and get out.  I remember it wasn't anything that could remotely be considered offensive, even to Barker's ego.  I remember at the time getting the impression that Barker had probably been looking for the chance to get out of there much earlier, and finally found his opportunity.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

ISTR T.K. said something as innocuous as "You've only missed two tapings" whereupon Barker blurted out something about having a taping to attend and storming out of there with "I've got bigger fish to fry" written all over him. I, too, got the sense that he was looking for an opportunity to make a clean break for the egress.

Last time I checked, isn't this the same Enquirer that's gotten "stories" right on the nose before?  Yes, you're right -- this could be false... but at the same time, if Barker wanted to, he could cash in on a defamation lawsuit against them.  I haven't seen news of that yet.

The Enquirer is proud of their reporters and getting the stories straight.  Granted, some of their stories do sound ridiculous, but for the most part, their stories are accurate and then the mainstream media picks it up from there.  (Swayze and Fawcett are two recent stories)
