Just because Bob Barker isn't hosting The Price is Right anymore doesn't mean he's off TV entirely. Barker, 90, has appeared on the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful a handful of times this year, and he's going to be on this Thursday's show, too. CBS is teasing his cameo with this scene, where noted animal lover Barker gets in an argument with Wyatt Spencer (played by Darin Brooks):
The scene is a pretty obvious nod to Barker's deservedly famous scene with Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore — which, we should note, came out in theaters 18 years ago, when Barker was in his late 70s. --Peter Weber
