I feel this is one of those things that is the end of an era. The Price is Right with Bob Barker always reminds me of afternoons at my grandparents’ house, and I’m sure it does for a lot of people in my age bracket. He also seemed to be a genuinely nice person. It was always good to hear her was still alive and doing things, and it helped keep that little slice of childhood alive.
Ooof, this hit me right in the childhood.
This is one of those chapter-turning public figure deaths for me. The last one was Betty White, and before that was Robin Williams — almost mythical figures whose names and faces I’d known since before I can remember, who it almost felt like would just always be around.
RIP, Bob. You’ve earned it.
I thought that he had passed, a while ago. 99 years is a good run.
Spay and neuter, folks!
99; I’d call that closest without going over.
Yes we all seen the other comments.
The price is wrong, Bitch!
At least we still have Drew Carey, right?
…
(cries bitter tears)
Damn… I was rooting for him to get the whole $1.00
