In a new interview with Time Out London, the British-born star lashes out at Oprah Winfrey and Lady Gaga.

Bob Barker: I would not criticize Drew CareyBob Barker hasn’t been heaping praise upon “The Price Is Right” host Drew Carey lately, but the 86-year-old game show legend says that he’s not trying to be critical.
