Thirty-Five Years in the Limelight

Bob Barker has been synonymous with "The Price is Right" for three and a half decades. Even for the casual viewer, his face is familiar. To have such a long career in a single role is a feat not easily accomplished. His tenure spans generations of viewers, and yet he stayed strong until his recent retirement. What do the numbers have to say about his staying power?

Birth name: Robert William Barker
Birth Date: December 12, 1923

I am using the Chaldean layout for this explanation. Three of his core numbers are 3. He has an 11/2 expression and a 9 integrative vision number.

All that 3 energy gives him a quick mind that can pick up on the least bit of information and develop it like an expert. He is not offended by way-out ideas or actions. Although the strong 3 energy could impel him to witty barbs that could be hurtful to the butt of his jokes, his 11/2 gives him the sensitivity to appropriately curb this impulse.

The format of the "Price is Right" is just outrageous enough to bring out his best talents. He can easily go with the flow of the contestants. His longevity, no doubt, stems from his genuine caring for the guests on the show. It is not an act when he expresses disappointment for a contestant's loss. This feeling comes through as genuine. Consequently, even the losers have a good feeling about about Bob Barker.

The numbers of "The Price is Right" are stodgy. It is Bob Barker that brings the wit and the sparkle to the show. There is talk about a replacement, but finding someone to carry this show will be an insurmountable challenge. My prediction is that a substitute may be tried. It will not work. The numbers for the show itself cannot carry the format. It was Bob Barkers talent that made it work.
