You can't make this stuff up, folks.

Nobody ever accused him of being smart. ISTR that the official reason he was let go from Price was that he was being "an idiot".

In fairness, let's be clear: the show did not release a statement saying as much, right? Given that a lot of people online (not you) lack comprehension in connecting the dots with posts like these, you're more or less saying that's the "word on the street"?

I was told from a reliable source years ago that one of the things he was doing was taking people to Barker’s house like a tourist stop.

That is exactly right. The show didn't release a statement to that effect. This is as far as I know an unconfirmed rumour, so take from that what you will, but I have heard the same reasoning given by more than one reliable source over the years.

I've also heard rumors that he broke into CBS on multiple occasions, did that play into his firing?
