After more than 6,500 episodes of "The Price Is Right," it was Bob Barker's turn to "Come on down." House Speaker Rod Jetton and Barry Bennett, a former radio broadcaster who now works for Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, couldn't resist the opportunity to repeat the famed line. Only this time, Barker descended the stairs of the Missouri Capitol Rotunda as he was inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians.

Who says Missourians can't be cheesy!

Perhaps, but with Mark Twain, Walt Disney, and George Washington Carver, who cares.

Walt Disney was from Chicago!


Only until he was about 4 or 5, I think. He spent most of his childhood in Missouri, and that's where he started his first art studio.

Other famous Missourians, Satchel Paige, Hubble (of telescope fame), Gen "Black Jack" Pershing, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and JC Penney...

Bob Barker doesn't know the meaning of fear. He does know it's damn tasty though.

Bob Barker doesn't have to look in the mirror to see if he looks good. Bob Barker knows he is hot.

Never ask Bob Barker if something makes you look fat, you won't like his response.

Bob Barker doesn't have to shower. Nothing bad touches his skin.
