Bob Barker is alive

[DownInFlames]

He’s 98 years old. That blows my mind.

[Ozy_Flame]

Could have got 98 on his golf game too if Happy didn't screw it up.

[Jordan!]

I legitimately thought he already died until this thread.

I legitimately thought he already died until this thread.

So did I. I was listening to a podcast and they did too until they looked it up.

[Roast Beef]

2022 is still young.

[Ducay]

What, no he died like 3 years ago, I swear to god

[KTrain]

He kind of has to get to 100 doesn't he?

[CliffFletcher]

They should make him spin the big wheel. If he can’t get it to spin all the way around, euthanasia time.

[accord1999]

Last appearance on The Price is Right almost 7 years ago. Definitely showing his age but still does a pretty good job.

He's hoping to avoid hearing that final "Come on down!"

One of the last celebrities who is a WWII veteran. Mel Brooks being another I think. And Dick Van Dyke and Harry Belafonte.

A quick Google found this story:

And the site is obviously BS, but it has some gems...

THE PRICE IS WRONG, BITCH.

not a celeb in the Hollywood sense but Henry Kissinger is 98. born in Germany, arrived in the US as a teenager, I believe he did see active duty back in Europe during the war

Yeah he’s a war criminal and can die any time now.

[CliffFletcher]

Tony Bennett served in WW2.

And my google sleuthing turned up a surprising fact: Bea Arthur served in the marines from 1943-45.

I was listening to another podcast today and they were talking about Diana Ross. I had thought she had died a few years ago but thankfully she’s alive. She’s in her 70s so that’s not much of a surprise, but what shocked me was learning that she used to date Gene Simmons. WTF?

I hope he lives to 101. Seems fitting.

If he reaches 100 does he get to spin again?

[Bring_Back_Shantz]

If he reaches 100 does he get to spin again?

Only if he stops there.

Price Is Right Rules, closest without going over.

Betty White hit 99 + 348 days.
That's gonna be hard to beat, but if anyone can do it, Bob can.
Mark your calendars, Dec 12, 2023 is gonna be a sad day.

[DownInFlames]

Bump. I was hoping he'd make it to 100.

[White Out 403]

ya this is a pretty ####ed up bump.

[bdubbs]

It is. RIP Bob. He got as close to 100 as possible without going over.

[Blaster86]

Bump. I was hoping he'd make it to 100.

[Nage Waza]

So did I. I was listening to a podcast and they did too until they looked it up.

Cool story bro?

I can't help but be the a-hole here, but I've watched too much Price is Right to let this pass.

I've seen this joke make the rounds, but the closest you can get to a dollar without going over is a dollar. There is no option to spin again if you hit a dollar on the first spin, or reach the dollar on two spins.

In other words, the closest Barker could get to 100 without going over 100 is 100, not 99. And if he did hit 100, according to the rules he would be able to spin again to try and reach the bonus amounts.

Now, remember to get your pets spayed or neutered.

I really wish I could edit this thread's title.

[bc-chris]

I really wish I could edit this thread's title.


is it too old? if the 'edit' button is there i think you can change the title in the 'advanced settings' or something like that


if that doesn't work, maybe either 'report' the first post and ask a mod to change it or private message a mod asking them to change it

[CroFlames]

I really wish I could edit this thread's title.

You killed Bob Barker with your blasphemous title.
