Bob Barker, retiring from "The Price is Right"
Nice profile of Bob Barker, the host of the classic game show "The Price is Right." Barker is finally retiring after continuously being on TV longer than anyone in history - even Johnny Carson.
Bob's secret to his success isn't too different to what Danny Meyer said about "hospitality" at Gel 2007 a few weeks back.
From the New York Times:
Through those 50 years on television ... Mr. Barker has made a specialty of giving contestants the chance to make a dream come true. His great strength, and certainly the key to his longevity, is that, whatever happens to the contestants, he is able to have them leave happy, feeling unjudged and appreciated.
