    R.I.P. Mr. Barker.  
    Amazing how long he hosted the Price is Right show- clear back to to my early 20s.  And he hosted Truth or Consequences starting at when I was 5 years old.  What a great long career and life.
    Thank you, Bob Barker.

    99 is fantastic…Especially for a man, it’s not that often men get on very far past 90. For those who know a lot of people over 80, it’s very common for the wife to be a widower. The clock ticks faster for us men. RIP Bob

    My wife knows one of Barker's The Price is Right "girls" (as she put it) from the show who told her Bob Barker was a really great guy- very likeable.  I can picture that- he always seemed that way on television.

    Bob is one of the few celebrities where you can't find a single person so say something bad about him.

    He had a good run for sure.  Yeah, Bob Barker was prime sick-day entertainment as a kid.

    He was a legend in many ways. Totally kicked Sandler's ass too.

    RIP Mr. Barker.
