Bob Barker announces the Death of Rod Roddy

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

I grew up with Rod Roddy as the announcer in the 80s and 90s, his enthusiasm and flamboyant style are so memorable to me. His death was so tragic, being a rare victim of male breast cancer. Never take your life and health for granted, folks. RIP Rod Roddy, forever missed.

[@cyrusbringardner6487]

He also had colon cancer

[@mattregozosmariokart238]

And now Bob joins him too exactly 20 years ago. RIP Bob Barker.

[@daltin92]

I also grew up during the Rod Roddy era in the 90's up until his death in 03. When he passed away I thought Bob was going to retire in late 2003. The 2 of them were in sync and made it really entertaining for everyone. Honestly the show went to hell from 2004 on even before Drew Carey took over.

[@ajaugenti1976]

Amen, to me as a 47 year old woman. I have been getting my yearly mammograms done every year. Now, the very next thing for me to get done is a pap smear . My Mom had passed away this in year on April 4th from ovarian cancer at the age of 72. I miss her everyday and the holidays this year won't be the same! My Mom is in heaven with her family members that had passed away before her. May Rod Roddy rest in peace in heaven! Anita Augenti
