LOS ANGELES (AP) - Bob Barker will celebrate his 80th birthday on - where else? - television. The host of the longest-running game show in television will preside over "The Price is Right Million Dollar Spectacular," a CBS special airing at 8 p.m. EST on Dec. 13, a day after Barker's actual birthday. Barker will be joined by guests Larry King and Chuck Norris, who taught Barker karate before becoming a star in "Walker, Texas Ranger." Videotaped greetings will air from actors on other CBS shows, including Ray Romano, David James Elliott, Catherine Bell, Ted Danson and Charlie Sheen. During the show, contestants will have a chance to spin the Big Wheel for $1 million. The showcase winner will win the largest amount in cash and prizes ever won by a single contestant in the "The Price is Right's" 32-year history. In 2002, Barker broke Johnny Carson's record for continuous performances on the same network show. Carson retired from NBC's "Tonight" show in 1992 after 29 years, seven months and 21 days. Barker is in his 31st year hosting a show that began in 1956 with Bill Cullen. Previously, Barker hosted "Truth or Consequences" for 18 years. _______________________________________________ Sndbox mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sandboxmail.net/mailman/listinfo/sndbox_sandboxmail.net
