The Original Host Of The Price Is Right Might Surprise You

Drew Carey has earned a place in our hearts as the host of "The Price Is Right." Since he took the baton in 2007, most regular viewers have come to know what to expect from him: good humor, professionalism, and an ability to roll with sometimes literal stumbles.

That being said, he would likely be the first to say he is standing on the shoulders of a daytime game show giant. Because just as "Jeopardy!" had Alex Trebek, and just as "Wheel of Fortune" has Pat Sajak, "The Price Is Right" had the iconic Bob Barker. Even if Barker himself is less than thrilled with the job Carey has been doing as his replacement (via TMZ), Carey made clear to People in 2021 that he had no intention of trying to copy his predecessor when first taking over.

It makes sense that Barker and "The Price Is Right" are nearly synonymous. His tenure hosting and reminding us to spay and neuter our pets ran for 35 years. And while that may put him behind Trebek (37 years according to CNN) and Sajak (more than 40 per Today), it's still astonishing — which is why it may be equally astonishing to learn that Barker was in fact not the original host of "The Price Is Right." That's right — there was another who came before him. And in retrospect, it's stunning that we don't all know his name too.
