Bob Stewart

Game Show creator and producer who, as part Mark Goodson's staff from 1956-65, created Password and To Tell the Truth. He developed The Price Is Right independently (as Auction-Aire), and it was picked up by Goodson-Todman in 1956. In 1965, Stewart left Goodson-Todman and started his own production company with Bill Cullen as emcee many times.

Stewart died on May 4, 2012 and, while he had nothing to do with the current CBS version of Price, the show recognized him as its creator in a post-show memorial on May 7 � a marked (and welcome) change from several instances in the 1980s-90s where Bob Barker referred to Goodson as the show's creator.

The Sky's the Limit (circa 1955)
Eye Guess (1966-69)
