Holy shit that was funny.
Price is Right was such a fantastic game show. Everyone was really excited and happy, and everyone seemed to really support the other contestants. Bob Barker was a supremely fun host, a great personality, and was truly an enjoyment to watch. I'm glad he made it to 99, and hope his time after retirement was awesome.

Re: Bob Barker - Dead at 99
Ten Chances was always one of the tougher games. Even when 4 of the 5 were for the car in the 80's But great clip. That's even post-Rod Roddy. Bob was so great. To put up with that.
I would love a YT loop of Bob trying to explain the Blank Check game.

I have fond memories watching The Price is Right, Barker had the perfect demeanor and charm for a game show host. Easily my favorite over Sajak and Trebek. The show was not the same once he left. Rest in peace to a legend.

I used to stay with my Grandparents during summer break when I was a kid. The Price is Right was must-see TV. Barker made the show fun for everyone. I haven't watched it since he retired. RIP.

I'm watching the tribute show now. Love the footage from the original "New" TPiR debut.

Saw the special this morning...Amazing the first Showcase Showdown winner was only off by four bucks!
Barker made a reference to the previous TPIR in 1956.
I saw those shows on BUZZR, the show was so much different back then...

I also did not realize that Adam Sandler produced and directed the show, but you can tell from the Happy Gilmore clip (a movie that I have not seen, but of all the people in my family who have, my mother has seen it, but I think she saw the edited for network TV airing, still...she watched it all the way through) that Bob Barker and Adam Sandler seem to have got along thick as thieves when Sandler was filming that movie.

Re: Bob Barker - Dead at 99
I’ve meant to post in here for a while but haven’t yet. I loved Bob Barker and The Price Is Right. Like many he was a big part of summer vacations or days off from school. He was just iconic and one of the best game show hosts of all time.
It’s funny too because my wife and I had been watching quite a bit of the Bob Barker era episodes on the Pluto channel and I commented a couple times about him still being alive. Making it to 99 is a pretty good run though.
RIP Bob and thanks for the memories.

Doesn't appear to be the same guy though...The other guy has directed 946 episodes so far since 2013:
