Bob Barker gave the "Family Feud" host a big break.

The British comic, who died June 2 of esophageal cancer at age 79, appeared on Hogan's Heroes and in 1987's The Running Man but is best known as the swaggering host of Family Feud. Barker, former host of The Price is Right and other shows, gave Dawson a big break in 1970.
