Host Showcased Work Ethic with 35-Year Run on "The Price is Right" | Bob Barker Case Analysis

[@cindy0717]

Getting close to 100 without going over---that was genius!

[@kimjohnson8471]

LEGEND!❤😂

[@gerryattrik4410]

He’s super intelligent ☺️

[@althunder4269]

That should be on BB's gravestone.

[@divarose0]

Perfection❤

[@judypsa1336]

Best ever!

[@Laura-tp8wz]

RIP Bob. He and others like Betty White, Brigitte Bardot, Doris Day and others helped crusade for animal rights. Blessings.

[@samanthaw.861]

I think my favorite Bob Barker quote was how he wanted to be a baseball player but “the only thing that prevented it was a total lack of talent”. RIP Bob. Thanks Dr. Grande.

[@alexperkins8433]

lol thats hilarious 🤣🤣

[@KapricornKary]

Thank you Dr. G for your tribute to Bob Barker, a tv legend. A basically good guy, i think the best part about him was his love of animals. A staple of my childhood, price as right was watched every day by my mom. RIP Bob!

[@nataliep501]

Yes

[@Auroradiluculum]

Bob was a gentleman.

[@TheDealMaster]

Barker, you'll be missed. You were a lot of fun to watch. Thank you Dr. Grande for covering something a little different! Have a good one. 👍

[@didomilan1725]

I laughed out loud at the.99 reference. Bob was a constant , reliable friend on “sick days “ from elementary school for me. I always appreciated him later as a new mom, keeping another adult in the room. I’m sad he’s gone, he’ll never be forgotten. Thanks for doing such a nice tribute to him dr Grande!

[@tessaducek5601]

My grandmother and mother watched him faithfully. I watched him for him. Not the game show itself. He was always so engaging with the guests it was as fun to watch. He definitely will be missed.

[@Mainecoon_Izzy]

Bob Barker will be missed 💔 Such a lovely person, & absolutely a “people person” in my opinion. & he wasn’t only an advocate for our precious animals, but for people too. I loved to watch him engage with the contestants, & could feel his genuine love for what he was doing ♥️💯♥️ RIP BB 🦮🐕‍🦺🐈🐈‍⬛🐕🐩🦜🐇🐓🦩🦢🐾 Many Thanks, Dr. G 🫶🏽

[@PatriciaJeanNC]

RIP Bob Barker(I could have sworn that he passed about roughly three years ago.? I thought thats why Drew took over?) Idk--this comment is all jacked up. Lol Muchlove❤ ✌

[@paleryder1536]

I remember him on truth or consequences when I was a toddler in the late 50's . my mom would always watch him in the afternoons. now I'm 66 and still remember how personable he was. RIP Bob

[@scottdavidson526]

That was a good show as well. I was really young when that was on TV.

[@cebuanostud]

I was glued on tv every time Bob was on. He was charming...he was enchanting...he was entertaining...he was amazing. RIP Bob Barker.

[@ronbennie1028]

I love the way Bob Barker always made his interaction with the contestants the main event…the games and prizes were secondary. He brought out the best in people. I’ll always be grateful to him for indirectly helping my autistic son learn to speak clearly by modelling precise diction and expressive voice inflections in the audio version of his autobiography, “Priceless Memories”. His goodness was contagious.

[@ianpeddle6818]

A man from a different age of class and hard work although his leaving his money to animals won my heart. Clearly Bob and I would have got on famously - a man with integrity and a good heart. RIP sir there are few like you now.

[@aarondavis8943]

He worked two days a week. These shows are all shot over one or two days. Good luck to him; got nothing against him. Young people work harder for less money and worse benefits yet people can't help believing this persistent myth that the youth are lazy and at some vague time in the past everyone was totally upstanding and perfectly wonderful. The data and actual history show otherwise. Millenials work harder for less money, are less likely to use drugs, are less violent and even less promiscuous than previous generations, and baby boomers rate _the absolute worsst_ on all these measurements.

[@TryNSave]

@@aarondavis8943Lol. Millennials aren’t saints, bro, and the idea that they’re less promiscuous vs. previous generations is laughable. Fewer of them are in committed relationships; that is the distinction. Earning potential is strained in contemporary times, but this is true for multiple generations across the board. You’re wrong on basically all points.

[@elliebellie7816]

He didn't have any family to leave it to so why not. And do a little bit of independent research and see if you think Bobby had so much integrity!

[@gabe-po9yi]

He was quick-witted, funny, always dignified. He kept the show clean, didn’t make se*ual innuendoes or double entendres, didn’t humiliate contestants. A supreme gentleman.

[@CATNAPREAL1188]

That was a really nice type of eulogy Dr. G. Thank you for doing an admirable summation of the definition of what an etical, committed human being truly is. Rest in Peace Mr. Bob Barker. You will be remembered kindly. Sincerely.

[@zovalentine7305]

Child thru adulthood, I watched him regularly, being an addict of any game show whatsoever. My Grandmother was price conscious & would insist I watched Price is Right with her for my "education." Rest in peace LEGEND🙏

[@Baysidemom2]

"the price is wrong b*tch" one of my favourite movie quotes of all time😂 thanks for the company on every single sick day in the school years Bob. rest easy

[@jbinmd]

Too bad Dr. G didn't work this quote into his commentary, such as when discussing the lawsuits with the women.

[@dkhnova]

​@@jbinmd No, it's not too bad. "The price is wrong, ..." quote is not clever or funny. Dr Grande was smart to ignore it.

[@LewisSkeeter]

@@dkhnova Lighten up. It was funny.

[@Throatzillaaa]

​@20878byrne do you mind explaining, who said this quote in what context?

[@LewisSkeeter]

@@ThroatzillaaaThe quote is from the film 'Happy Gilmore', in which Bob barker made a memorable cameo appearance. Adam Sandler said the line to Bob during a fist fight they had.

[@randomrebecka6778]

That was funny you listed all the different games and every time you said one I would shout out “ and Pliko!!!!!” and you finally said it at the very end❤ Bob Barker was awesome and a hallmark of my childhood. He will be sorely missed. Don’t forget to have your pets, spayed or neutered.!!!

[@jenniferwintz2514]

I was waiting for the Cliffhanger/Mountaineer! That yodel is forever in my brain. But Plinko is super iconic.

[@randomrebecka6778]

@@jenniferwintz2514 oh, yes, I’d like that game a lot too and you were always hoping he wouldn’t fall off the cliff or maybe you were hoping he would! Lol lol

[@scottdavidson526]

Plicko and the squeeze game were my favorites. RIP Bob.

[@scottdavidson526]

​@@jenniferwintz2514That Mountaineer! Game was great as well. I love the yodeling.

[@carfo]

RIP Bob. I remember having a lot of fun talking with my friend on the phone while I was in middle school and guessing who would win and how much stuff was worth. He provided a ton of entertainment to a lot of people over a very long period of time, that is a major accomplishment that he and his family should be proud of.

[@NoName-uq7ph]

Being from the UK I've never heard of Bob Barker but from watching this video he was obviously a great guy and will be missed by many R.I.P Bob.

[@yusiyola2011]

I was nervous to watch this because of your ability to collect and analyze someone’s whole history. But this was very nice

[@ur1cat]

Thank you for this episode on Bob Barker. I didn’t watch game shows very much but I was impressed by his words on reducing animal overpopulation. That impressed me a lot. When an adult I volunteered in cat rescue to help spread the word.

[@scottbakanumba1heathen313]

Whenever I was home sick on a school day, Bob Barker was there as company.

[@Snakesnarl]

Bob did so much for animal rights. He donated millions upon millions of dollars and actively campaigned for many many organizations. I guess being a vegetarian and trying to spread kindness to animals leads to a long life (referencing him and Betty white)

[@bonniewischmeier9813]

This episode may be your best one yet Dr. Grande! So much information in such a clever way.

[@TheYankeesUnited]

I watched Bob Barker all my life. I loved being a little kid in the 90s and watching the show with my big sister on summers off from school. He will always be a good memory for me. Thanks for the cover Dr. Grande. Great tribute! 👍

[@jenanne31]

Thanks for the profile! I always admired Bob's passion for animals and his message to spay amd neuter animal companions. One indiscretion in 35 years doesn't seem like a lot, particularly considering some people"s behavior in the entertainment industry.

[@amyjanefrater1447]

Lovely tribute to the man. He was a wonderful example of his generation.

[@javierarreaza5601]

While American audiences will undoubtedly remember Bob Barker for the game shows he hosted, the rest of the world will remember him for having hosted over many years the Miss Universe pageant. For many people, he was an integral part of the pageant.

[@Cosmosopher]

The comment is right!!!

[@scottdavidson526]

That's right. I forgot about that.

[@jeffd9782]

Loved the part about 99, closest to 100, without going over! 😂 Rip Bob, what a legend

[@kimjohnson8471]

My man Bob came as close to a $ (100) without going over!!! LEGEND ❤

[@GenXfrom75]

Such wonderful memories watching Bob Barker with my lovely paternal grandmother growing up ❤

[@rockfordfiles5451]

Can you do one on Garrison Keillor- he was ousted innocently by a meetoo'er. His show a prairie home companion was priceless and his end unfortunate and sad.

[@GG-mu4wg]

I didnt know of his passing until seeing this, such a cool & humble dude that has done an incredible amount for the animals. Rest easy good sir.

[@alysonnance-orr777]

Admittedly, I haven't seen every episode, but this one MUST be the most wholesome, hopeful, and lovely analysis yet!!! I'm happy to know that he had no tawdry secrets to be exposed after his passing. Thanks, Dr. Grande, for bringing us a little ray of sunshine in an often gloomy world. Much love from the beautiful Arkansas River Valley 💞

[@joememphis1571]

He was the closest to a dollar without going over. Bob Barker brought joy and happiness to countless Americans of all origins and backgrounds for many decades. 99 wonderful , amazing and incredible years on this planet.

[@liquidgeorge]

Dr Grande, I can see where your awe-inspiring work ethic is modelled. R.I.P. Mr Barker.

[@SofiUk0319]

Wow, and a veteran ❤ RIP, Mr Barker, absolutely loved the price is right ❤

[@12yearssober]

He was also very generous. He kept that part secret all of his life. Except for his love of animals!!

[@LDiamondz]

Yeah, he was in the Navy Reserves.

[@stephendacey8761]

Dr Grande, I may not agree with you on everything (that's why I'm not a shrink) and I may not laugh at all your jokes, but I admire your work ethic (you're work ethic is similar to Bob Barker's). I respect the time and effort you put into your videos. You seem to be always posting videos and that's something I admire. Keep up the good work. I hope you don't feel like I'm being critical, just being honest. Great job covering the legendary Bob Barker.

[@LDiamondz]

I had no idea Bob was in the Navy Reserves during WW2. RIP Bob.

[@arinerm1331]

The words I never thought I'd hear Bob Barker say were, "The price is wrong, bitch!" during his appearance in Happy Gilmore. He was so legendary, and I honestly believe there could never have been another host who won over the audience and contestants alike the way that Bob Barker did. Rest in peace, Mr. Barker. Your soul will never be forgotten.

[@calendarpage]

A few days before my sister was going to graduate from her Catholic girls school, Sister Superior called her into the office. My sister disliked school and never took it seriously. Sister Superior said there was a rumor that when her name was called to receive the diploma, she was going to yell, "Come on down!" My sister wasn't planning to do that and didn't know how the rumor started, but it gave her ideas. However, she decided it was in her best interest not to do it. If Sister Superior didn't kill her on stage, she know our parents would.

[@iyalove9383]

I didn't know very much about the legendary Bob Barker's life. Thank you, Dr. Grande 😊

[@elizabethhamm5320]

I loved his How I Met Your Mother episode. Barneys attempts to keep a connection with him throughout childhood were sad and funny. A fitting tribute as always Dr. G. RIP Bob Barker.

[@vivianlawrence778]

Thank you for this beautiful tribute to a great guy. The "getting as close as he could to 100 without going over" brought tears to my eyes.

[@StAlphonsusHasAPosse]

When I was in college, a few friends and I would schedule our classes around TPIR. I always wanted to be in the audience and have my name called so I could run down the aisle, yelling and waving my arms like an idiot. 😄

[@thelocalmaladroit8873]

Thank you Dr Grande for your tribute to Bob. An iconic character and I believe a genuinely nice guy.

[@jeng8401]

He was part of my childhood along with Match Game and Let's Make a Deal. Bob lived a great life and 99 is an amazing run.

[@amylynngriffith]

Bob’s cameo in Happy Gilmore was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen! RIP Bob. 🍻

[@thelostronin]

That was really sweet Doc. In an age of degenerates and narcissist Bob Barker stands out for his reliability and kindness. I don't know if there will be another of his caliber again.

[@Gagalover1569]

I was born in 1969 and one of those many 70’s kids whose favourite thing about being sick, was getting to stay home from school and watch TPIR. Thanks Dr. Grande for an excellent and compassionate analysis of this true gentlemen. He reminds one of their favourite grandfather or uncle and when Joe Biden won the last election I jokingly said on Facebook that after 4 years of looking at such an unattractive president, I was quite smitten with Mr. Biden because he was very handsome in a Bob Barker kind of way. Of course some took that quite literally and missed my point completely. Bob lived his best life. I’ve been thinking about him more often since Covid and wondering when we will might hear this sad news, especially after the loss of Betty White and Prince Phillip as they are all so close in age. I did not know that most of his estate was being left to non profits for animal rescue supports. Although that’s not surprising. He’s the kind of person one wishes they could’ve met. Thanks again Dr. G! 👍🏽❤️

[@auntielaura5]

I appreciate your including admirable people in your videos. Anyone who focuses a lot of attention on true crime is in danger of forgetting that the world has many decent people who have no interest in hurting others, just in living their best life. 😊

[@ElizabethDohertyThomas]

Reading his memoir is so fun. He absolutely loved life, loved his mom, his wife, animals, and the public.

[@jlynn468]

This was a must when home sick from school lol.

[@ivy4114]

Thank you for this great episode on Bob Barker. He was "cut" from the cloth of a different generation. Dashing and kind and charismatic. I loved watching him. And when you joked about his last name being Barker in comparison to others!! You always throw something in that makes me LOL!! Great tribute.

[@dredubz5825]

Thanks Dr. Grande! Bob Barker was a large part of my childhood. I used to love being sick and getting to stay home from school to watch The Price Is Right 😊 Help control the pet population! Have your pets spayed or neutered!!

[@fastgurrrl]

A gentleman. Very compassionate and giving. Always looking fresh. My partner met him at a gas station in Los Angeles when he first moved there from New York. He said hi and told Bob he was the first Hollywood celebrity he had met. Bob shook his hand and welcomed him to LA. I was sorry when allegations were made against him on the show. I never believed them.

[@sallykins3800]

His love of animal welfare rises above any alleged dalliances

[@GoGreen1977]

He was a widower. He could have a dalliance.

That man was such a large part of my everyday in the 80s. My mother had it on everyday at 11 a.m. and then at noon Days of Our Lives. Later were my shows the A-team and I did love other shows like Hart to Hart and the Love Boat.

I actually got on “Truth Or Consequences” when I was nineteen. I turned my consequence into “Barker’s Bluff.” I had to write “Bride of Frankenstein” with my nose on a pane of glass governed in a white powdery substance. Two other teams had to write BoF. The team that was able to read it first won a prize. My teammate shouted it out first,while the other teams were struggling to write it! Noses are not very good writing instruments. When asked , my teammate couldn’t explain why my nose writing was so easy to read. I looked at Barker and pointed to the glass. “I wrote it backwards so it would be readable on the other side!” I explained. Barker cracked up and turned red with laughter! My prize? Fifty bucks and a hairdryer.
