The "Guinness Book of World Records" named the 80-year-old star television's "Most Durable Performer." Barker has given 3,524 consecutive performances since his TV debut, "Truth or Consequences." But the title also suits him for something else (so far), what is it?

Hint: It has to do with Barker's beauties.

I know that Janice Pennington held some sort of longevity record for tv models / hostesses. Is it related to that ?

No,it has to do with 9 ex-employees (most of them Beauties)

Is it for being sued by the most former employees ? Looks like nine at least have sued him in just over a decade.

Oldest TV games how host to be sued for sexual harassment ?

Well you kinda have it Dog, sued by 9 ex-employees and never lost

Looks like it's not over yet, that's why I have included "(so far)" in my question.

While technically true, the claim of never having lost is misleading. At least four of those nine cases were settled out of court.


"Barker's lawyer, Patricia Glaser, told me to go home and think long and hard about my version of the story," Riegert said.

Barker dropped his suit against Hallstrom in September 2000, after damaging testimony from Riegert and three other women on the show, according to Alden.

Their testimony came with a price: On Oct. 19, 2000, the four women — Riegert; Janice Pennington, a model; Kathleen Bradley, a model; and Sherrell Paris, Barker's personal assistant — were dismissed from the show. Sharon Friem, a writer who rejected Barker's alleged sexual advances, was also let go that day, Alden said.

"We know for a fact that five out of 14, or 38 percent, of the show's women were fired the same day. Coincidentally, these same women are the ones who are fighting against Bob Barker," Alden said. "It doesn't leave much room for coincidence."

"They weren't fired," countered Henri Bollinger, Barker's publicist. "Basically, they weren't renewed. It's not Bob's decision whether they stay with the show or not. It's the production company's decision."

All five women who were dismissed in October 2000 filed suits against Barker and Pearson Television, claiming wrongful termination. With the exception of Riegert, they all settled out of court. - http://www.courttv.com/people/2004/0917/barker_ctv.html
