I just found out a short time ago that Robert “Bob” Barker, legendary host of The Price is Right from 1972 to 2007 has passed away at the age of 99 just a few months shy of the century mark. As someone who had watched the show as a young child in the late '90s/early 2000's it's quite saddening to find out, given what a long lived and fulfilled life he had in those 99 years. An impressive 50 years in television, not only as the "Star of The Price is Right" for 35 of those years but also on Truth or Consequences before that, appearances on many other game shows as well as hosting awards shows and Miss pageants. As well as the occasional film appearance such as his memorable guest spot on Happy Gilmore. The list goes on and on, he was definitely a legend in his time and a part of a great many childhoods. There's no words for what an amazing career he had for that large piece of his life. He will always be forevermore remembered for bringing entertainment to several generations of people.

RIP Bob, you've now joined your beloved Dorothy Jo in the next life (after 40+ years apart since she left this mortal coil herself back in 1981) along with Johnny Olson, Rod Roddy, Mark Goodson, Bill Todman, Frank Wayne, Marc Breslow, Betty White and many of your television friends and others. Thanks for the memories!!!!!!
