Today, we spotlight a rare acting performance by Bob Barker on a 1960 episode of Bonanza.
This is “I Know Every Scene By Heart,” (https://popculturereferences.com/category/i-know-every-scene-by-heart/) a feature where I spotlight notable scenes in episodes or films that I don’t otherwise feel like spotlighting as a whole (no knock on the episodes or movies in question, necessarily, I just really only want to talk about one scene. Although yes, often it is because I like the scene better than the episode/film).
The great Bob Barker, the iconic game show host of Truth and Consequences and The Price is Right, has passed away at age 99.
Barker was a radio personality before becoming a star as a game show host. He sporadically appeared as himself in a few TV shows and movies, but the first time he ever did a TV acting role as someone other than himself was in a 1960 Season 2 episode of Bonanza, “Denver McGee,” where the young daughter of former Marshall (and current rancher) Denver McGee returned from her schooling on the East Coast. She and Little Joe had a thing when they were younger, but now that she is back, she is playing hard to get.
Barker plays Mort, one of her suitors, in this cute sequence…
