The iconic Bob Barker died on August 26, 2024. Despite the fact the show remains known for his years of hosting it, the game show itself didn’t offer any message on the one-year anniversary of his death. However, while the show snubbed him yesterday, fans were online to offer their memories after the game show ignored the moment.
“Remembering Bob Barker one year later. Some of my favorite Bob Barker memories were contestants playing Plinko, Cliffhangers, and Three Strikes.”
“Rest In Peace Bob Barker! We lost you one year ago today,”
“Can’t believe it’s been a year since we lost the GOAT. R.I.P. Bob!”
Instead of celebrating or acknowledging Bob Barker on the anniversary of his death, The Price is Right instead showed a video of a man celebrating with Drew Carey after winning a car.
The Price Is Right Host’s Death Was One Year Ago
Bob Barker died on August 26, 2023, in his Los Angeles home. He was four months short of his 100th birthday when he died. His death was determined to be by natural causes.
Barker served in the Navy Reserve during World War II and then hosted a radio show for six years after college. In 1956, Bob got his first game show job, hosting Truth or Consequences. In 1972, he got the job hosting The Price is Right and served as the host until 2007, marking 35 years as the host.
Barker remains best known for his tag lines at the end of each episode, where he reminded viewers to get their pets spayed and neutered, as he was involved in animal rights activism. Barker was also known for a fun movie role in 1996, where he played himself in Happy Gilmore. He also appeared in WWE in 2009 as a guest host.
