He’s definitely a legend. I loved his shows growing up. I always loved trying to guess the prices. RIP and thanks for the memories.

Barker was 99

He got as close as possible to $1.00 without going over.

Perfect

I'd care more for his loss had he not financially supported Sea Shepherd, a terrorist organization. Should've just stuck to entertainment.

Bob Barker! Come on UP! I can imagine God in heaven saying this to this iconic man.

My mom watched this show religiously, so as a result, I often did too.

Fun show, fun games, dreamy prizes and a warm kind man. RIP and thank you for the memories.

During the Japanese whaling in the Antarctic, Bob Baker donated a ship to the Sea Shepherd which was named the Bob Baker.

"Barker gave millions of dollars to pro-animal causes, including donating $5 million for a 1,200-ton ship named the Bob Barker that was operated by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society to stop Japanese whaling ships from killing whales off Antarctica."

his cameo in the movie Happy Gilmore showed what a good sense of humor he had. Rest in peace. Bless his long productive life.

Sad, he was a very talented man, are used to always watch a show as a child, all the way, until I was a young adult, I loved the fact that he was an animal rights activist, the man was definitely kind and the fact that he deeply cared for the well-being of animals and the treatment of them deeply and profoundly inspired me.

We need more people like him.

RIP
