"I'm here because I was selected by The Price Is Right to be their April Fool," Bob Barker told the surprised audience of his old show, after what can only be described as a rapturous welcome. "I know the world is full of fools, but I am a carefully selected fool," he added, before hosting an entire segment of the long-running CBS game show. Regular host Drew Carey returned for the next round, and Carey needn't worry about losing his job, but Barker is a pretty spry 91. Watch his triumphal return below. —Peter Weber
