Bob Barker RIP

[great_chandel]

If not the greatest gameshow host ever, certainly in the top 5 all-time! He was just phenomenal on "The Price is Right." I actually know first-hand. Many years ago, I was a contestant myself on "The Price is Right." I won a sailboat, a trip to Hawaii, and a trip to Alaska. While it was an experience I will never forget (not just because I won), meeting and chatting with Bob Barker during the commercials was simply unforgettable! He won 19 daytime Emmy Awards -- that is simply staggering! He will never be equaled. I also appreciated the time and money he gave to animal causes (I am a huge supporter myself of such causes). "Have your pet spade or neutered" will never be forgotten as said always by Bob Barker. With all due respect to Drew Carey, Bob was far superior on the show. Bob Barker was 99.

sad news. 99 is a good long life. I honestly didn't even know he had still been with us. RIP

My Dad looked a great deal like him.

'The Price is Right' was almost appointment TV during Summer vacation/school holidays and/or sick days.

HUGE part of my childhood (and many others). Watched him every day of my childhood at lunch hour. He did a lot of good for animals in his life.

Heard he was a super-******* to many woman specifically his "Barker's Beauties"

He wanted to fire Holley for being "too fat" and not giving into his advances.

Also, heard he was crazy-creepy to Diane Parkinson--- who constantly had to shrug him off.

The guy sounded like a a typical classic Hollywood predictor

I don’t think that’s the word you wanted; I remember you starting a thread about pi$$ing on somebody’s grave, guess this is more of that.
