5. It's interesting how Truth or Consequences got its name...
Bob Barker told the story one time in an interview. Ralph Edwards, who was Barker's predecessor on "Truth or Consequences" when it was a radio show, announced that the first town in America which would change its name to "Truth or Consequences" would be rewarded by having him come to the town and do the show from that town, and return to the town once a year for the rest of his life. The town of Hot Springs, New Mexico took him up on the offer, so he did the show from there, and for the next 50 years he went back there every year in May and it turned into an annual festival there. Around 2000 he became unable to travel any more at the age of 86. Edwards also had lunch with Bob Barker every Dec. 21st (Barker's birthday) for the rest of his life. Edwards died on Nov. 16, 2005 at the age of 92.
