He did his best to get to 100 without going over...

Too soon? No, that was solid joke.

Been on that show in November 2000 and March 2002.  Never got to come on down but someone in my group on the first taping did.  He got a bunch of stuffed animals on his last round.

 

RIP

St. Peter:  Bob!  Do you remember your old show, “Truth or Consequences”?

 

Bob:  Sure I do…..hey, are you telling me I gotta play that game to get in?  
 

St. Peter:  You sure do!  NAH…..JUST KIDDING.  YOU CAN COME IN!  [angels laughing]

The Price is Right was my favorite daytime game show for a long time until I found out that Bob Barker heavily supported Paul Watson and his Sea Shepherd international terrorist organization. He gave them so much money that they actually named one of their ships MY Bob Barker.

666.00, you've gone over. [angels laughing again] Must've been that Bruins jersey in that movie.

Honestly, I thought he was already dead. I thought he passed a few years after he retired from The Price Is Right.

I wonder if he was annoyed when he realised he was going just 3 months short of reaching 100?

Betty White: 99

Bob Barker: 99

 

Both very close to 100. With Jimmy Carter in hospice a bit before his 99th birthday, I suppose he may also fail to hit the 100 club. Seems a lot harder than 99, getting that final year!
