The Price IS Right, Happy

Bob Barker turns 95 tomorrow.  Did you know that he once was an official member of the Sioux tribe?  Bob at 95 and our Charlie Simms at 92, maybe it has something to do with that Indian connection?.

Still one of the funniest scenes ever filmed.  I know I have showed it previously but it’s still worth another look even if my wife would disagree with me.

Interesting backstory to the fight scene is that the original script called for Happy to win the fight. However, when Bob agreed to be in the movie he insisted that the fight scene be re-written such that he won the fight.  The movie’s producers and writers tried to talk Bob out of it.  They noted that he was 73 and it wouldn’t be believable that he could take out the much younger Happy Gilmore.  Bob insisted however and the rest is movie history.
