Bob Barker Talks Sex, Dewlaps and People Thinking He's a Drunk on 'The Late Late Show' (VIDEO)

by Jason Hughes, posted Feb 15th 2011 3:23AM

Bob Barker, 'The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson'Thanks to 'The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson' (Weeknights, 12:37AM ET on CBS), Bob Barker is now the proud recipient of tequila wherever people give him gifts. It stems from a 15-minute or so discussion the pair had on his last appearance.

"They think I'm a drunk," he said. "I talk about it a lot, but I don't drink a lot."

The pair equated that sentiment to sex, but Barker admitted he does partake in that particular activity.

"That's what I'm staying in shape for," he laughed.

Then, as if to cement the fact that he'll talk about everything and anything, Barker took Ferguson's compliment of his turtleneck as an impetus to discuss his dewlap, which is the flap of skin that can hang from the neck.

The former 'Price Is Right' host proceeded to tease the audience with a glimps of his neck, and confirm that Ferguson's dewlap was starting to come in as well.

It's refreshing to see the 87-year-old so comfortable in his skin that no topic appears to be off the table. It keeps him unpredictable and fun in the interview seat.

I have enjoyed Bob on TPIR for years IMO he is the best game show host in the history of TV. Infact all my family watch TPIR even my neice I would put her in her car seat in front of the TV and we would watch it together.

Someone commented about Bob having plastic surgery. A lot of the classic folks of film and TV have, but I really don't think he has. Otherwise I doubt he'd have that, "dewlap." I believe his face looks a little pulled back because his hairline is slinking back a little more than we were allowed to see when he was hosting TPIR.

Being in my early 40's, I grew up with Bob Barker. Bob meant it was summer vacation, or Christmas break, or spring break, or I was home sick. He and TPIR was the comfort food of TV. I loved him on TPIR (and as much as I liked Drew Carey before, I can't even watch him on TPIR now.) I have to say, my image was a little tarnished by the claims of the "Barker's Beauties," and I actually know someone who had history with the show that said Bob could be an SOB to work for. But I still find him entertaining and admire his work for animals.
