He got as close as he could to 100
Without going over.
(Kidding aside, his hosting was a part of my childhood fondly remembered. 99 years is a hell of a run.)
Please everyone spay or neuter a pet in remembrance.
I am more surprised that he was alive yesterday, than i am surprised that he died today. I really thought he had already died after he left the Price is Right.
Same here, I thought that was why Drew Carey was brought in years back. RIP, I think I watched Price is Right every day of every summer growing up.
I will forever remember him beating the hell out of Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore.

“It is with profound sadness that we announce that the World’s Greatest MC who ever lived, Bob Barker has left us,” publicist Roger Neal said in a statement.
At a press conference held on his last day, Barker said as much as he looked forward to retirement, getting ready to tape that final show wasn’t easy.
He never thought his future career would require cake makeup, the glare of camera lights or games like Plinko and Cliffhanger.
As a pop icon, Barker landed cameo appearances on TV shows like Futurama and Family Guy – as well as a few movie roles.
In one scene, Barker, a karate black belt in real life, teaches star Adam Sandler a memorable lesson by knocking him out in a golf course brawl (video contains cursing).
He established and endowed a foundation funding spaying and neutering services across the U.S., and in his later years, Barker donated large sums to various law schools to promote the study of animal rights.
