If the "Price Was Right" Bob Barker Could Have Been a Porn Star

Former Price Is Right host Bob Barker was on the Today show this Thursday promoting his new memoir, and it seems that he, for a brief beautiful second, almost entered the porn industry.

He told America about his days as a model and how he was approached for a "movie" role. One day someone suggested that he go into porn. Giddy with delight, Meredith Vieira said "so you were thisclose to a career in pornography." Barker laughed and said "well, more like this___close."

So there may be an alternate, Sliders-esque dimension somewhere where instead of helping people play Plinko, Barker was doing the, uh, plinking himself. On camera. But in this world, it never happened. Rod Roddy, though? He has a name that sounds like he dabbled in some extreme hardcore pornography in the early/late 80's.
