So just like Betty White, Bob just misses making it to 100.  It'll be interesting to see what sort of tribute/special TPIR will do to commemorate his sad passing.  And remember to help control the pet population and have your pets spayed or neutered!  My cat is neutered, just for you Bob.  Just for you.

And who could forget the classic Happy Gilmore fist fight?

And when Bob had to sadly announce the passing of legends in their own right, Johnny Olsen and Rod Roddy:

I wish I did! Like those props you often see...I wonder what ever became of those Super Balls, or those Penny Ante pennies, those big checks contestants get to keep from Check Game, and so on.

I have been actively hunting for a signed check made out to US Treasury/IRS/Franchise Tax Board to add to my wall of tax payment checks (I'm a tax guy). I know wrong forum, but I'd love to find one, if anyone has one. There are checks of his out there, but so far I haven't found any that fit my niche.

We usually stream the Barker era shows on Pluto TV before going to bed. That's our zone-out show. The shows on Pluto right now are from 1983/1984. It's entertaining to watch nearly 40 years later - some of the stuff he says to be funny would never fly today. He was the best!

On YouTube you can find episodes/clips from any season! Be sure to check out TPIR Decades on PS3 as well! If only anyone thought to do a Wheel of Fortune Decades or some other way to play WoF with past Wheel layouts.
