RIP Was beginning to think he was gonna outlive me. A legend to school skippers too broke to afford cable back in the day.
Dude got me through so many school's out summer mornings. Loved watching TPIR. Still the only guy to ever kick Happy Gilmore's ass. I hope to heck they bury him with that super long mic. RIP GOAT!
Barker was the king of low key pimps and probably brought more tail than Hugh Hefner Just one year under 100 Beat me to it
Grew up watching the show. Reminds me of youth before responsibility set in. Seemed like a cool guy and no doubt he was sexing many a woman. RIP
When I saw how old he was, visions of $0.99 kept flashing in my mind. I used to watch The Price Is Right as a kid sometimes and always liked this guy. R.I.P. Mr. Barker. That clip is hilarious. The only crazy one I always think of is the one where the lady is running down the steps after she was selected and her tube top falls down exposing herself. Bob had no idea it happened, but knew something was going on with the cheering. Here he talks about it. "She came on down, and they came on out..."
He's one of those celebs that I thought died a long time ago. The Price Is Right and Press Your Luck were my childhood favorites.
I will say that, in the mornings I need to stay around the house for whatever reasons, 10AM Drew Carey hosting Price is Right is still a fun show, games are mostly the same, but not enough Plinko and the Mountain Climber though.
The time Vanna White appeared on The Price is Right. You can tell by the way Bob interacts with Vanna he almost certainly made a move after the show.
