Remembering Bob Barker and His Iconic Scene
When reflecting on the original Happy Gilmore, Julie fondly recalled working with the late Bob Barker. One of her favorite scenes involved Barker delivering the memorable line, "The price is wrong, [bitch]." She shared how the legendary game show host initially resisted saying the line because of his gentlemanly demeanor.

It was great," she reminisced.
A clip of the scene played in the background as Julie talked about the late Price Is Right host, who passed away on August 26, 2023, at the age of 99. This heartfelt tribute highlighted the impact Barker had on the film and the lasting memories he left with those who worked alongside him.
