I wouldn't say huge fan but I watched it a lot as a kid in the early to mid 80's. Also in the early 90's when I was in high school and would occasionally stay home sick I would also watch it then as it was just part of my routine.

I liked the show and he made me laugh when he was in Happy Gilmore. Other than that though I never really took notice of him.

He was there from the debut in the early 70's until he retired in the 2000's and Drew Carey took over.

An earlier version of the show ran from 1956 to 1965 with Bill Cullen.

Besides Jeopardy!, never had much time for game shows, but I know enough about them to respect Barker's game.

Kirk Douglas was 102
Bob Hope hit 100
George Burns made 100 and smoked cigars like a chimney
Queen Elizabeth I made it to 101
Ellen Albertini Dow was like 101. She was in a lot of movies.

A good handful of other actors that made it past 100 but a lot of people probably wouldn't recognize their names as much.

Dick Van Dyke is 98 and the show was literally The Dick Van Dyke show. I watched reruns of it every week night actually. Mary Tyler Moore was young and gorgeous on it.

One of the streaming services has a whole 'channel' devoted to the show. Don't ask me which one, but I've seen it.

He was fine. Kinda similar to Pat Sajak, in that he often seemed overly snarky/insincere to randos, sometimes to the point of coming off as an asshole, but I suppose thats probably the result of hosting the same game show for so long.

I watched some Price is Right from time to time from the early 2000's onward, but not really a fan of the show. Though RIP Bob Barker. He was funny in his scenes in the movie Happy Gilmore.

Yes Mary Tyler Moore is deceased. Dick never appeared as a guest on the Mary Tyler Moore show because The Dick Van Dyke show was such a hit previously they were worried that people would view that as "The Petries" The couple from the Dick Van Dyke Show.

They were good friends but decided it best if they didn't appear together on the Mary Tyler Moore show. Dick's brother Jerry did appear as a guest though, and he had also appeared as a guest on the Dick Van Dyke show as well.

It was very much a show you just put on bc it was on and nothing better was playing in the middle of the day. I have fondish memories of watching it in school during homeroom bc the teacher didn't care.

100% Betty White. Bob was known for one show basically while Betty was known from radio to tv and in a career that spanned 60+ years in the industry. She had her own show, was in multiple hit sitcoms, was in movies. This isn't even close. Betty White is absolutely the bigger star no contest.

She also hosted her own game show, too.
