Bob Barker, 'The Price Is Right' host whose silky-smooth command, impish sense of humour and advocacy for animal welfare issues made him a beloved fixture on television for more than 35 years, has died. He was 99.
Bob Barker poses for a photo on the set of "The Price is Right" after a special appearance that will celebrate his 90th birthday at CBS Studios, on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2013, in Los Angeles.
For 35 years, Barker was the host of the classic CBS game show that asks players to bid on such items as a pack of gum, a popcorn popper and a luggage lock in hopes of winning, as its announcers trumpet, “A BRAND NEW CAR!”
