- This is the best summary I could come up with: 
 - “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. 
 - The original article contains 730 words, the summary contains 165 words. Saved 77%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
