Bob Barker – This Fighter Pilot Didn’t See War

When we think of a TV game show host, the name that comes to mind is that of Bob Barker. Bob Barker is the most prominent TV game show host ever who hosted The Price is Right. Surprisingly, before he started asking the contestants to ‘Come on down,’ he served as a fighter pilot in US Navy.

Fortunately, he didn’t have to face any of the wars. Barker has a record of hosting the longest-running TV game show in the history of the U.S. – from 1972 to 2007. That’s 35 years! Working for so many years, he must have amassed a huge fortune for himself that we don’t think that he could ever be dependent on military retirement funds.
