RIP Bob Barker

RIP Bob Baker. 99 years is a good run.

Bob Barker, longtime ‘The Price Is Right’ host, dies at 99

When producers hired Barker to host “The Price Is Right” in 1972, they hit the jackpot. The game show had faded significantly from its glory days in the late ‘50s and had been punted by two networks before it landed at CBS.

With no disrespect intended, the news of Bob's passing reminds me of when I was a wee lad and my summer flings with Holly (one of Barker's Beauties)

Truth or Consequences and the Price is Right were the game shows he hosted. I use to watch it with my grandma, he became a celebrity for that and his activism. He had an eventful life and will be remembered by many.

Honestly, I thought he was dead.

No shit, I thought he died long ago.

I get it though, a former Sheriff of my county passed this week at 81, I still remember him as a town cop and Little League coach in his 20s-30s....I hardly even remember him in his 28 years as Sheriff.....Weird.

A lot along with Lorne Greene and some others.

That guy was the epitome of cool and he genuinely loved animals, he once spent six figures to help an elephant in an insufficient zoo in Canada. RIP.

I loved him in Happy Gilmore!

Barker's career highlights were his hosting of Truth or Consequences, as well as his Slammy Award about 15 years ago for best guest host for Monday Night Raw.

 

[BackAgain]

He got really really close to 100 — WITHOUT GOING OVER!

Bye bye, Bob.

You had a great smile.

I think she was my first crush. I bet she's a GMILF now.

You mean those summers you spent on the couch having a "fling" with yourself as you watched Holly on TV.
