The longest running model on TPIR is Janice Pennington but she is on the right Bobs left as he sits 1972-2000. Another bit of trivia Holly Hallstrom , behind Bob, sued the show for being fired for gaining weight. She lost court said as a model part of her job was staying fit.
12/12 Even knew the announcer on Hollywood Squares, who's doing similar tasks at another classic-TV network. But that Barker Beauty wasn't Janice Pennington, but rather Dian Parkinson.
But yay! Classic game shows! If you love 'em, check out Buzzr on Pluto.TV or in some local markets. Classic games every day and night!

Yes, Janice is on Bob Barker's left, not mine.
She made quite a name for herself after she quit. 😎😖🤦

7/10 the only game show I've ever watched was "What's My Line". Hey the adults owned the room back in the day.
12/12 I love me some classic game shows. That Barkers Beauties question, I believe that's Dian on the left.
My dad and I loved watching Tic Tac Dough! The Price is Right is a great game show, too. I watched that show in the 70's, 80's, and 90's!
I didn't watch any of the other game shows listed.
