Bob Parker passed away from natural causes today at the age of 99. His rep, Roger Neal, told The Hollywood Reporter, “It is with profound sadness that we announce that the World’s Greatest MC who ever lived, Bob Barker, has left us.”
Barker is best known for hosting The Price is Right from 1972-2007. We welcomed him into our living rooms and enjoyed the way he interacted with contestants on the game show. For those 35 years, he was a staple on daytime television.
However, he had a different interaction with Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore. And a whole new generation fell in love with him.
But no one loved him more than all of the animals’ lives he saved with work for them.
So today, as St. Peter told him to “Come on up,” give your pet a hug for him. And make sure they are neutered.
