Get Pageant Questions Written By A Miss Universe Judge
The pageant world is mourning the loss of Bob Barker, host of the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants from 1967 to 1987, who passed away in his Hollywood Hills home in California on 26 August 2023.
His 21-year stints as MC of both pageants are unlikely to ever be surpassed, and they may well have been even longer had Bob not quit over the ongoing use (at the time) of real fur coats in the winners’ prize packages.
Less than four months shy of his 100th birthday, Bob was known to the world-at-large as a legendary US TV game show host (Truth or Consequences 1956-1975 and The Price Is Right (1972-2007). But to pageant fans he was the front man for so many historic moments in Miss Universe history.
Capturing just a handful of those moments, here’s a little tribute I’ve pulled together in honour of Bob Barker, Miss Universe legend. Also featuring some of my favourite semifinal interviews.

What a great tribute!! The palm reader queen was right, he lived a long life
RIP. Bob Barker is the 'host of hosts'. Nobody does it better. So witty and spontaneous. His era is MU's golden age.
Always missed him THE emcee like no other.
Let's hope that the Miss USA and Miss Universe organizations pay tribute to Bob Barker on their upcoming telecast. It would be a terrible injustice if they didn't.
Bob Barker so loved our barong tagalog, traditional Filipino men's long sleeved formal wear when he hosted Miss Universe 1974 here in Manila that he wore one again during one of the functions at Miss Universe 1975 in San Salvador, El Salvador. Rest In Eternal Peace, Bob Barker.🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Bob Barker was the best host ever!!
Great host and an even better interviewer. But his last interview with Cecilia Bolocco from CHILE, Miss Universe 1987 was absolutely mind-blowing. Thank you for all those extraordinary years of grace, wit and entertainment. R.I.P. Mr. Bob Barker.
This might be the only tribute to Bob Barker i've seen, wished MUO did the same. This is sooo wonderful, thank you TPN*:)*
I can’t thank you enough for this. Bob was my hero and like you I think Miss Universe peaked in the 1980’s. I loved the interview with Cecelia but he was killing it in 1985. My two favorite interviews he ever did were Miss Uruguay and Miss Zaire. My best friend and I quote “I don’t think I can go on now! and “I wonder what they have in Zaire?” on a regular basis. I watched that pageant within minutes of hearing about his passing. Thank you so much for this absolute treasure!!!! I love all of your videos but this was really special for me 😊
The best interview was Miss Universe 1987 whit Cecilia Bolocco Miss Chile and Miss Univese 1987… this was the last Miss Universe bob barker..
colombia
There were saying that his questions to Miss Chile put great help to Miss Chile’s crown, but somehow Miss Chile great personality, charm & her wisdom, she took advantage of the moment & slayed her interview & the 1987 crown. ( a great fan from Singapore-host of 1987)
So witty!
Lo mejor la entrevista a Cecilia Bolocco la Mejor Miss Universo , la mas inteligente y espontanea.Bravo Miss Chile , Miss Universo 1987.
Two other good interviews would’ve been Miss Poland in 1986 being asked about the Chicago Bears and Miss Philippines in 1987. She said something about not watching the Price is Right in the Philippines but would watch it live in Los Angeles if she won Miss Universe.
he had the skill to be so charming and humorous with the ladies unlike steve harvey who was abrasive and condescending
The best host ever of Miss Universe, he was very funny 😄
IM REALLY GOING TO MISS MY GREATEST MASTERS OF CEREMONIES OF THEM ALL.
The two 976 interviews were very funny as was Germany in 1983. Bob was great helping contestants during their interviews. Two examples of that were Germany in 1979 and Philippines in 1984. Bob interview with Kim Seelbrede at MU 1981 has often been mentioned as the reason she did not do well considering she was second after preliminaries.
Nice tribute. Thx a lot!
That last interview sealed it for Cecilia. I think Bob influenced the contest.
He's the best host in the history of Miss Universe.
Miss India proof her reading palm that Bob has lived for 100 years. RIP
Thank you for doing this. I watched Miss Universe and USA as much for him as for the pageant. He will be missed.
Thanks for this wonderful video collection memories of the late Bob Barker. I miss all those personal and fun interviews of the past era. He brought out the charm and charisma of Cecilia Bolocco who was crowned in my country, Singapore. That was how I was introduced to the world of Miss Universe. I miss those opening numbers of candidates in their national costumes 😊 RIP Bob
