No, Bob Barker who supplies prison toiletries (hey, someone has to) is not the same Bob Barker from "The Price Is Right."
I love the rumor that he is, and that BB got into the biz because he had a jailed son. When that can be easily disproved because Bob Barker of game show fame had NO children. (Which in itself is very unusual for an 86-year-old man who was married to the same woman for nearly 40 years.)
UPDATE: The Wikipedia entry said Barker had no children earlier. Now it has been changed to say he and his wife had three. Snopes definitely said he had none. Who's right?

Actually, according to the Wiki you posted, Bob Barker and his wife had 3 children.
No children? Your own link to wikipedia states that he had 3 children.
Why exactly do you know who supplies prison toiletries anyway. I've never heard of this but I've never been on the inside.
Snopes is right...also, the Wikipedia entry in question must have been edited back, since it now states "the couple (Bob and Dorothy Jo Barker) had no children"...this makes sense, as Bob makes no mention whatsoever of any kids in his book, Priceless Memories.
I understand Bob and his wife agreed not to have children.
