We are sad to report that Bob Barker, the legendary host from The Price Is Right gameshow, has passed away. He was 99 years old.
WWE fans will remember Barker from his time guest hosting Monday Night Raw in 2009 during the red-brand’s Guest Host era. He had an iconic segment with Chris Jericho and would go on to win a Slammy for being WWE’s best guest host.

He deserves to go into the Hall of Fame for guest hosting Raw in 2009

Barker hosted The Price Is Right from 1972-2007. He famously appeared in the hit Adam Sandler comedy Happy Gilmore as himself, where he destroyed Sandler in one of the film’s best fight sequences.
