Bob Barker, a television legend and star of Happy Gilmore, has turned 99 years old, so December 12 is a massive day for him. With all the support he’s receiving on social media in celebration of his 99th birthday, Barker has long been recognised as a popular television personality, and a longtime host of The Price Is Right. Regardless of how he chooses to celebrate, he should find solace in knowing that his coworkers in the entertainment industry and admirers worldwide are sending their best wishes his way.
The fact that it is Bob Barker’s birthday makes up for a memorable Monday. The Price Is Right’s official Twitter account further said that it wishes Bob Barker a wonderful day.
Fans of the movie Happy Gilmore remember the scene where Barker brutally beat up Adam Sandler. With one admirer wishing birthday wishes to Bob Barker, the TV Legend, who showed everyone the best moments in comedy history when he and Adam Sandler had an absolute brawl in Happy Gilmore, the video is becoming popular on social media.
Even the professional wrestling scene is honouring Barker on his birthday by uploading a video of his iconic guest hosting role on WWE Raw in 2009. The evil wrestler Chris Jericho confronts Barker in the video, but Barker doesn’t back down and threatens to throw Jericho over my knee if necessary.
“Happy 99th Birthday to former THE PRICE IS RIGHT host Bob Barker,” the private non-profit military association tweeted. “Barker served as a naval aviator during WWII, flying eight different aircraft, including the Wildcat and Corsair. Of the entertainers who are WWII veterans, few are left.”
The host’s longtime companion since 1983, Nancy Burnet, shared details of how he would spend his 99th year in a press release to the media.
“Barker is doing great and will be very aware of all of the birthday wishes he will be receiving on his 99th birthday,” she explained. “We want all fans of PRICE IS RIGHT and BOB BARKER to take to social media and give him a shout-out for his birthday!”
The press release also offered a reminder straight from Barker himself.
“Bob Barker wants to remind everyone to have their pets spayed and neutered to help control the pet population,” the release said, adding, “Let’s all wish America’s Greatest M.C. a very happy 99th birthday.”
Barker also served as a host for both the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants.
In 2013, ‘The Price is Right” celebrated the iconic host’s 90th birthday with an entire week of shows and featured pet adoptions, a cause Barker often spoke about during his time on the show. On the date of his birthday, Barker made a special appearance in the studio to present a showcase and to help place a dog up for adoption.
