		Bob Barker, a host who projects cool control and avuncular warmth at once, is now in his 83
		Barker's Beauties were dreamy in knee-length button-front dresses of a red somewhere between cardinal and Chianti; a video artist could do worse than to create a loop endlessly extending the moment in which two of them, coiffed like Douglas Sirk heroines, demo'd a pingpong table (actual retail price: $578).
		There was an RV waiting for her at the end of the show, along with a 60-inch TV, an arcade bowling game, and, best, Barker's mellow expression of pride that she'd done very well.

		Bob waits until the height of aniticipation, leans in the hit the revealing button to see if the contestant is a winner, then takes this opportunity to find out where the player is from, how many kids he/she has, etc. The audience groans, and fantastic television is made.
		Let’s not forget about Bob showing off his golf prowess with Hole In One, which I’m convinced was created through a contractual obligation to give The Bob more putting practice between trips to the links.
		I think Barker was one of the greatest game show hosts ever next to Bill Cullen and Allen Ludden and It’s good to know that at his age he can still work the show so effortlessly he will be missed.
