BuffaloKyle Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) I was very sad to hear about Bob Barker passing away today at 99. I loved watching "Price is Right" with my grandma growing up. Here's a couple of my favorite clips of contestants who seem to have never watched the show before going on it.

Betty White got closer though without going over so she wins! Bob died 3 1/2 months before he would've been 100 and Betty died 17 days before 100. 😅 Edited August 28, 2023 by BuffaloKyle wsc, + augustus, thomas and 2 others 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I saw People magazine wishing Betty a Happy 100th she was jinxed.

samhexum Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I can't help it. I keep seeing 'Bob Barker passes...' showing on the 'front page' of this forum, and I am (as I'm sure all of you are) reminded of the time Dorothy was going to remarry Stan, and Debbie Reynolds was interviewing to be the new roommate: Truby: “My husband passed just last summer.” Rose: “Passed what?” Dorothy: “A slow-moving Winnebago, Rose.” No disrespect meant to Mr. Barker, who had an admirable career and used his celebrity in an admirable way. 99 years is a nice, long ride, and I'm sure it was quite a good one. thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TectonicThrust Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I had the pleasure of being in the audience of Price Is Right during Bob’s last week of shows before he retired. I sat right behind contestants’ row and was instructed to be extremely animated. I put on quite a show. I had a great time. I recorded the episode on my TiVo and still have the TiVo box in my garage. I’m assuming I could find it on YouTube now and finally toss the TiVo box. Lookin and + sync 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ azdr0710 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 My college roommate and I always liked it when an utterly exasperated Bob would yell, "Stop the clock!" when the contestant in The Clock Game repeatedly went the wrong way. marylander1940 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuriousByNature Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) I'm thankful that he was able to live so long and probably die from the natural effects of aging. It would have been much worse to hear that he had been out for a walk and had gotten hit by a "NEWWWWW CAAAAAAR!"
