? Remembering Bob Barker

[phkrause]

Bob Barker, the legendary host of "The Price Is Right" and a prolific presence on American daytime television for half a century, died yesterday at 99. Barker won 14 Daytime Emmy Awards as host of the popular game show and four as executive producer, The New York Times reports. In 1999, he won a lifetime achievement Emmy. He was also a longtime advocate for animal rights, quitting as host of the Miss America and Miss USA pageants because they handed out fur coats as prizes and protesting for better treatment of animals on movie sets. A rose lies on Barker's star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Photo: Damian Dovarganes
