RIP Bob

[NWFree]

They don't want all those pissed off women showing up to trash him for harassment

[Libloather]

All guests will have to ‘C’mon down!’ Embarrassing.

Pet testicle cemetary?

I took a sick day so I could stay home and watch Bob Barkers final TPIR appearance.

As mentioned in an earlier thread, when thinking about the great game show hosts many of us here grew up with, Monty Hall (Let’s Make A Deal) would have turned 102 this past week, Bert Convy (Tattletales and Super Password) and Alex Trebek (Jeopardy and Pitfall) 90 and 83 respectively last month, Richard Dawson (Family Feud) 91 in November, Gene Rayburn (Match Game) and Allen Ludden (Password) both now would be 105 turning 106 later this year, Garry Moore (To Tell the Truth) 108, Dick Clark (25000 Pyramid) and Art James (Super Pay Cards) both 94 later this year, and Johnny Olson the great announcer for many of the shows we grew up with would have been 113 this past May.

My tributes should also include Bill Cullen who would be 103 (the original 1956 to 1965 Price is Right & The Joker’s Wild), Tom Kennedy (Password Plus, Body Language, and the night version of The Price is Right) 96, and another announcer Jack Clark who would be 98 this November.

Wonder how the South Park crew will treat this...?

It is with profound sadness that we announce that the World's Greatest MC who ever lived, Bob Barker, has left us,' Neal said in a statement, obtained by NBC News.

Neal served as Barker's publicist

Barker lasted so long because he was colorless and not so interesting. That makes for longevity, and maybe makes a good MC, for all I know.

[Political Junkie Too]

It appears that Bob Barker outlived all of his family and acquaintances. I can understand not wanting a public funeral where people he didn't know in the entertainment industry would use the occasion to lament his passing and audition themselves.

I guess that's the curse of outliving your contemporaries.

It reminds me of Normon Lloyd's passing. I remember reading stories of how Nolan was the hit at all the parties, regaling people with stories of his time with Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, and other contemporaries. But when he finally passed at 106, there wasn't anyone close left to attend.
