After the show came back in 1986, it has been an after dinnertime and news favorite for the many generations.

    The show returned in 1984, not 1986.

    Someone is going to add up all the hours that Barker did BEFORE TPIR and Pat Sajak’s WoF day show. Either one still logged more hours than Trbeck in my opine.

    Of course, Barker’s TPIR was a full hour show for most of its run, so Barker has still logged more hours, right?
