Barker would host "Truth or Consequences" on NBC until 1965, and later in daily syndication until 1975, by which time he had also taken over a revival of "The Price Is Right" on CBS from 1972 to 2007 (Drew Carey has been their host since 2007). As a result, thanks to Edwards's "be yourself" admonition, Barker became as familiar with a generation of "Truth or Consequences" and "Price Is Right" viewers, as earlier fans had with Edwards and original "Price Is Right" host Bill Cullen during the original versions of the shows in the 1950s and

Barker took the daytime show, which he hosted until 2007, while James hosted a weekly version for the syndicated market, which aired in the "access period" leading into prime time and was thus known as "the nighttime "Price Is Right"".

Barker took over the nighttime version in 1977 (which remained a half-hour in length throughout its existence) and hosted both until the nighttime version was discontinued in 1980.

The Price Is Right models The American television game show "The Price Is Right" has, since its 1972 relaunch, employed a number of models to showcase the prizes and items that are given away on the show. From 1972 to 2007, the group was referred to as "Barker's Beauties," in reference to Bob Barker, who hosted the show during that period. The original "Price Is Right" also employed models. Usually, two models appeared per episode to model the prizes, much in the same tradition as the later incarnations. As is the case with the Carey-era of the current version, the

demands of the new format were deemed too strenuous for him. Consequently, when CBS picked up the daytime version, Bob Barker was selected to host the daytime version while Dennis James (who sold the pilot with Mark Goodson), hosted the syndicated nighttime version. Barker remained the show's daytime host until his retirement in 2007. Occasional references to Cullen have been made by current "The Price Is Right" host Drew Carey. Other game shows Cullen hosted included "Eye Guess" in the 1960s; "Three on a Match", "Blankety Blanks", "The Love Experts", "How Do You Like Your Eggs?" (QUBE cable interactive program)

After Barker retired, Drew Carey continued his signature sign-off advocating neutering. Fellow game-show hosts Jack Barry and Bert Convy eventually followed Barker's lead in promoting animal rights on the air. Barker hosted the Miss USA/Universe Pageants from 1967 to 1987.
