On the American version of The Price Is Right, the final two contestants guess the price of the item and the one that comes closest without going over wins. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Daredevil 1,189 Posted August 26, 2023 3 hours ago, mollyafox said: It seems like the people who always seem like they're going to live forever, die right before they turn 100. Prince Phillip, Betty White, and now Bob Barker. Zsa Zsa was another one, and it’s really looking touch and go as to whether Dick Van Dyke will make his centenary. He just started ukulele lessons, so I’m beginning to think it is possible, but it will be close. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dick Van Dyke is still very active yes a lot can happen between now and December 2025 but Zsa Zsa , Phil the Greek , Betty White and Bob Barker where nowhere near as active as Dick Van Dyke at the same age. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jd24fan 78 Posted August 26, 2023 Bob was an amazing game show host. He made the Price is Right fun to watch. For many people, he was the face of a day off of school. He was always passionate about animal rights issues. Can't say I'm surprised by his passing as hasn't been seen in public for a long time now. R.I.P. Bob and thanks for the great memories. Would've loved to have seen him make 100 like Betty White. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Immortal 634 Posted August 27, 2023 Interestingly majority of the tributes and statements seem to be from his Happy Gilmore co-stars, not from any of the Price is Right folks with the exception of his successor Drew Carey. No statement or words from any of the Barker's beauties as of now. I understand most of them weren't on good terms with Bob, but I would have thought at least one of them would give a statement or mention about his death. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In Prince Philip's case, he said he kind of dreaded turning 100- he definitely did not want to celebrate his 100th birthday- so he got his wish! I bet he died with a smile on his face! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
