( CNN ) For the first time in eight years , a TV legend returned to doing what he does best . Contestants told to `` come on down ! '' on the April 1 edition of `` The Price Is Right '' encountered not host Drew Carey but another familiar face in charge of the proceedings . Instead , there was Bob Barker , who hosted the TV game show for 35 years before stepping down in 2007 . Looking spry at 91 , Barker handled the first price-guessing game of the show , the classic `` Lucky Seven , '' before turning hosting duties over to Carey , who finished up . Despite being away from the show for most of the past eight years , Barker did n't seem to miss a beat .
