Tweet

In my last Did You Know I didn't give a hit to what was to come since I really didn't know who I would talk about. So I decided to talk this time about two guys that have a tie to each other, but served at two different times. They served at different times but both would go on to host the same TV game show at different times. This show would become the longest running game show of all time. The Price is Right. Robert William Barker: Known as Bob Barker Bob is most known as the host of the Price is Right TV game show but he reported for duty in June of 1943 as a naval aviation cadet. He would end up doing all the required training but miss out on WWII, buy time he finished his training they war had ended. He once said, " I was a naval aviator, a fighter pilot. I completed all facets of my training, including my qualifying landings on a carrier. I was all ready to go, and when the enemy heard that I was headed for the Pacific, they surrendered. That was the end of World War II." Drew Allison Carey: Known as Drew Carey. Drew a stand up comic had his own sitcom called The Drew Carey Show and also the host of Who's Line is it Anyway. He would then go on to host The Price is Right when Bob Barker retired. Drew joined the Marine Corps Reserve in 1980 and served till 1986. Drew was a field radio operator for the 25th Marine Regiment in Ohio. He would leave with an honorable discharge as an E-5 (sergeant). Two more famous people that gave up years of their lives to serve their country. Did you know these two served? Well, now you know.
