I just opened twitter (X) and read the news he was 99. Wow what a talent he was, RIP Bob.

I remember watching "The Price Is Right" with my grandmother. He was also a big supporter for animal causes.

May he Rest In Peace.

Before Price is Right, I loved Truth or Consequences. He had great interactions with contestants.

Bob had a well lived long life. Saw him twice when I was a guest on the Price Is Right (the 80's). He was snooty and he also enjoyed the former centerfolds from Playboy on his show. He had standards for females.

Truth or Consequences was a mainstay in our home early evenings.

They would do the best secret reunions of service men/women with their families!

99 - wow!

He was supremely lucky and blessed to have had such great overall health into his 90s and to have lived such a lengthy and fulfilling life.

Major thanks to him for always advocating for animals and spreading awareness.

I was more of a game show watcher when I was younger. Bob Barker was one of my favorite Hosts. I admired him as an animal advocate and I am sure he did his part to protect and help all animals. May he be at peace with God.

I enjoyed seeing him on TattleTales (reruns) with his wife Dorothy Jo, his high school sweetheart. She died in 1981 at 57 of lung cancer. She was a heavy smoker and he was too, but quit because of her diagnosis.

Bob Barker had a great sense of humor. He was always so jovial. He was well known for me on The Price is Right as host. My mother loved Truth or Consequences. Bob Barker will be missed. Rest in Peace, Bob.

@JaneMarple We were watching The Price is Right in the hospital when I was in labor with my DD. She was born about 11:15 AM - right in the middle of the show. For several years, as she was growing up, she loved watching The Price is Right. I don't know if it was Bob Barker's voice she remembered, or if she just liked the show.

I greatly admired his commitment to animals, both domestic and wild.
