Vanna White is the host with the most in her own right.
On Sunday, White paid tribute to legendary “The Price is Right” host Bob Barker following his death. He was 99.
Vanna shared a throwback snap from her time playing as a contestant on Barker’s game show, about two years before she would make it big on “Wheel of Fortune.”
“When I moved to LA in 1980, I was on Price Is Right and met Bob Barker,” Vanna wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Thank you Bob for introducing me to the game show world! We will miss you.”

While Vanna never made it out of the infamous Bidders’ Row, she still had fond memories of her time on the show.

In an interview with Fox News Digital before his death, Barker’s longtime partner Nancy Burnet said that one of his favorite moments came from when White competed on the show in 1980.
“Even before she had ‘Wheel of Fortune,’ she was a contestant on ‘The Price Is Right,’” Burnet recalled. “She kept looking in the monitor. And he was funny. He was very direct. And he said something about paying more attention and to stop looking at herself in the monitor.”
Barker died on Saturday of natural causes at his Hollywood Hills home, his publicist Roger Neal confirmed with Fox News Digital.

“It is with profound sadness that we announce that the World’s Greatest MC who ever lived, Bob Barker has left us,” Neal said on behalf of Burnet.
The 19-time Emmy award winner hosted the popular game show since 1972, and became executive producer of the series in 1988. After a 50-year career in television, Barker retired from hosting the show in 2007, but returned to “The Price is Right” three times, including a special 2013 appearance to celebrate his 90th birthday.
