BOB BARKER, LONGTIME HOST OF 'THE PRICE IS RIGHT' AND ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVIST, DIES AT 99

Rest in Peace, sir! I remember one of my grandmother’s happiest days was getting all the way to the Showcase Showdown with you as host.

This week extracts a heavy toll.

I grew up watching the show.
I was 9 when it first aired.
For me, the show went off the air when Bob retired.
He will be missed.

He will indeed be missed...but at least now Saint Pete can say "Come on up!"

There was that 'The Price is Wrong!' bit with Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore as well.

And he got as close to 100 without going over. The wheel was his friend.

Aw man. He was weirdly a big part of my childhood. I was sick a lot and stayed home from school a good deal when I was little. Being a weird nerd, I mostly watched educational shows on PBS all day while I was awake. But I always changed the channel to watch the Price is Right. The show was fun and he had a calming vibe. He lived a good long life. May he rest in peace.
