From: "Rich Gauszka" 

I think I've only seen a few Price is Right shows in all the time it's been
on TV.  With the exception of  Jeopardy I'm not much of a fan of the gaming
shows.
I managed to look up the Baker quote you gave and figured out the cat
population control is not the fault of global warming but the fault of
Barker's DJ&T foundation
