I was disappointed Cullen wasn't the host of the revamped "Price is Right" when it reappeared, but given the new format and Bill's limited mobility, you can see why they picked Bob Barker for the job.J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-20816666769444502372016-03-23T16:03:55.953-07:002016-03-23T16:03:55.953-07:00What's worth noting, too:
