When you were someone that grew up between 1972 to 2007, you may have heard this familiar voice and familiar song. That was the power of Bob Barker and that was The Price is Right. While the show is still on with famed Comedian Drew Carey as current host, there was no host like Bob Barker. With his snarky sense of Humour, his intelligent wit and loveable personality Bob Barker had a memorable 35 years on the show before Carey took over.

But that was just a mere fraction of his life. And the fact that he lived long enough to be 99 is a hell of an achievement on it's own. Though if it were a price is right bid. Someone would have guessed 101. Fucking 1 dollar above contestants they piss me off so much.

Bob was born in December 12 1923, meaning had he held on a couple of months he would have been the world's oldest Game Show Host at 100. Much like the late Jerry Springer, Barker started off as a Radio Host before moving onto television. Now many people have the common misconception that Bob Barker's only claim to fame was The Price is Right. No. There was one game show that he hosted beforehand called Truth Or Consequences:

Which he hosted from 1957 to 1975 and it became the basis for the Zygon Inversion Speech on Doctor Who:

But then the Price is Right after which he did for 35 years and had many iconic contestants including but not limited to a certain foul mouthed Meth Dealer:

His fame on the Price is Right allowed him many venues. From advocating animal rights and protecting the pet population:

To beating the ever loving shit out of Adam Sandler:

Twice:

Now at the time I had no idea that Barker is an actual fighter himself, he was trained in martial arts by Chuck Norris. But after watching him kick Happy's ass twice, that made it even funnier, because that was him going easy on him.

He's done many guest spots from other game shows, to sitcoms, to cartoons and even WWE.

Now a lot of people have tried to make legends out of many celebs before. Such as Chuck Norris Facts and the many many legends spread about Mr. Rogers. I would be insulted if the same wasn't done for Bob Barker. I mean Robot Chicken already started their own legend regarding it:

So Come on Down and watch some reruns of the Price Is Right, be it on TV or your phones. And help control the pet population, have your pets spayed or neutered.
