Rough couple days for the pro wrestling community.

 

God damnit.

RIP Bob. Remember to spay and neuter your pets, please!

 

He had fun

 

He has to be considered tGOAT game show host. Can’t think of anyone that would surpass him in that category off the top of my head.

Loved his “rivalry” with Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore character. Really funny and iconic scene that helped make that movie become a timeless comedy classic

 

Price is Right was the go to when I was home sick from school when I was young. Thank you Bob, RIP.

 

Only one I can think of is Richard Dawson, Family Fued. It's a tie IMO.

 

Yup, I think everyone across the generations here can relate to watching Bob Barker on sick days. Being home from school sick or staying at my Grandmother’s growing up is what I associated that show with.

 

Baywatch, Price is Right, with some Saved By The Bell and SportsCenter sprinkled in, is the cornerstone of an amazing childhood summer.

 

We only had 3 channels growing up so it was Bob, Richard, wrestling, Johnny Carson and carol burnett and As The World Turns

 

Gilligan's Island, too.

 

Just like the contestants on the wheel try to do, he got as close to 100 as possible without going over.

 

Woulda been more fittingly epic had he clocked out at 100 though. Regardless it is reasonable to presume he is comfortably moving onto the showcase beyond the veil.

Arleen Sorkin - voice actress who partly inspired and voiced the DC character Harley Quinn in Batman the animated series and several other animated DC works. She also appeared on Days of Our Lives.

 

Governor Sundquist

 

Mr. Ray of Ray's Place on The Hill.

 

In my day, it used to run by Richard (I think?) before Mr. Ray took over. Richard was blind.

It was just a coffee/snack shop back then. Many a cup of coffee I got up there before my 7:50 a.m. class, sitting on ground leaning against the building reading the Daily Beacon that we got from Bobby.
