Born in Darrington, Washington, in modest circumstances, Barker joined the United States Navy Reserve during World War II. He worked part-time in radio while attending college. In 1950, he moved to California to pursue a broadcasting career. He was given his own radio show, The Bob Barker Show, which ran for six years.[1] He began his game show career in 1956, hosting Truth or Consequences. He subsequently hosted various game shows, and the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants from 1967 to 1987, giving him the distinction of being the longest-serving host of those pageants.
Barker began hosting The Price Is Right in 1972. He became an advocate for animal rights and of animal rights activism, supporting groups such as the United Activists for Animal Rights and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. In 2007, he retired from hosting The Price Is Right after celebrating his 50-year career on television. In the years after his retirement, Barker continued to make occasional public appearances from 2009 to 2017.
Barker spent most of his youth on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in Mission, South Dakota.

The Rosebud Indian Reservation was established in 1889 after the United States’ partition of the Great Sioux Reservation, which was created by the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868). The Great Sioux Reservation had covered all of West River, South Dakota (the area west of the Missouri River), as well as part of northern Nebraska and eastern Montana. Since its founding, the Rosebud reservation has been reduced considerably in size, as has happened with the other Lakota and Dakota reservations. Now, it includes Todd County, South Dakota, and certain communities and lands in the four adjacent counties.
The U.S. Indian Census Rolls, 1885–1940, list Barker as an enrolled member of the Sioux tribe.[2] His mother, Matilda (“Tillie”) Valandra (née Matilda Kent Tarleton), was a school teacher; his father, Byron John Barker, was the foreman on the electrical high line through the state of Washington. As Barker’s father was one-quarter Sioux,[3] and his mother non-Native, Barker was one-eighth Sioux.[4] Barker attended the grade school on the Rosebud Reservation where his mother was a teacher.[3] He once said, “I’ve always bragged about being part Indian, because they are a people to be proud of. And the Sioux were the greatest warriors of them all.”[3]
Barker met his future wife, Dorothy Jo Gideon, at an Ella Fitzgerald concert while he was attending high school in Missouri; they began dating when he was 15.[5] He attended Drury College (now Drury University) in Springfield, Missouri, on a basketball athletic scholarship.[1] He was a member of the Epsilon Beta chapter of Sigma Nu fraternity at Drury.[6] He joined the United States Navy Reserve in 1943 during World War II to train as a fighter pilot, but did not serve on active duty. On January 12, 1945, while on leave from the military, he married Dorothy Jo.[5][7] After the war, he returned to Drury to finish his education, graduating summa cum laude with a degree in economics.[1]
Thank you, Bob.
May God always keep you and your family warm in His Bosom.
