And he died on National Dog Day. Have your pet spayed or neutered.

I really enjoyed Bob Barker's hosting style.

His explanations of the Blank Check game (later known as Check Game) were "priceless." And, of course, Bob was very proud of his putting abilities, which were on display whenever Hole-in-One was played.

When a bizarre fellow who fastidiously tracked all prizes and prices on the show via spreadsheet would attend tapings, Bob would mention him on camera and would encourage the contestants to listen to his advice. Bob just wanted to see the contestants win.

Drew Carey would never have done that in a million years. To the contrary, Drew became agitated when a contestant bid on the nose during a showcase once, thinking some sort of illegal cheating had occurred. Bob on the other hand would have celebrated that moment.

Grew up watching him on TPIR, and Barker's appearance in Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore was a hoot.

...and here we have yet another hilarious warning post from the Department of Redundancy Department:

THIS IS AN "TMZ" ALERT!!!! https://www.tmz.com/2023/08/26/bob-bark ... show-host/

Bob was a game show legend. We've lost so many hosting greats over the years. I loved his hosting and his love of animals. He had a great demeanor for the Price is Right. R.I.P. Bob. Back up with his wife, Johnny Olson, and Rod Roddy. So sad he didn't make 100.

Drew has really improved from his earlier seasons. If a contestant got it right on the nose today, he might react better nowadays.
