#ThePriceIsRight is now trending across Mastodon

The passing of Bob Barker is hitting me much harder than most celebrity deaths. My grandpa and I would watch The Price is Right daily, starting when I was only a few days old, continuing through school breaks and summer vacation when he would watch me. We would eat lunch and watch. It might only be a silly game show to many people, but to me those were quality moments with my grandpa. #RIP #BobBarker #RIPBobBarker https://www.npr.org/2023/08/26/200752493/price-is-right-host-bob-barker-dead?mibextid=Zxz2cZ

Whenever a generation found ourselves out of sorts, out of place, or out of touch during what is surely a child's prime time--midmornings on weekdays--"The Price Is Right" was a showcase for the humane Bob Barker. Bid farewell!

Bob Barker, dapper ‘Price Is Right’ and ‘Truth or Consequences’ host and animal advocate, dies at 99

A publicist says the enduring and dapper game show host Bob Barker has died at his home in Los Angeles. Barker was 99 and was a household name for more than a half-century as host of “Truth or Consequences” and “The Price Is Right.” Barker retired in June 2007, thanking his studio audience “for inviting me into your home for more than 50 years.” He started that marathon run in 1956 on “Truth or Consequences,” where he remained for 18 years. He began hosting a revived version of “The Price Is Right” on CBS in 1972. It would become TV’s longest-running game show. He was also an animal rights activist.
