Did Let's Make A Deal do a special Bob Barker tribute episode today? Because i'm curious to know because Let's Make A Deal and The Price Is Right often do episodes together and Wayne Brady is a friend of Bob Barker's too? Also did the Barker family finally do a memorial service and funeral for Bob as well. Because the recent news I heard on Youtube was that there was gonna be no memorial service or funeral planned for Bob Barker planned at the time. So what did they have in place of a memorial service and funeral for Bob Barker. Because I know Bob had a girlfriend and I wonder if she handled the funeral and memorial planning. Is there also gonna be a memorial fund or foundation being developed in Bob Barker's honor as well?

According to what I saw on Youtube it turns out that Bob Barker did not die of natural causes after all and he actually died of Alzheimer's Disease and I wonder how he kept this illness a secret from his fans? Because when I saw him he was usually pretty healthy and he even had a black belt from doing karate when he was young. I was sure surprised when I heard this fact because Bob Barker would've been a tough guy to do karate with. And he could've been a Marvel superhero when he was young because of his karate skills. I played my Nintendo DS copy of The Price Is Right and did very good and I put the game in my Nintendo carrying case when Bob died. And so I wonder if the TPIR video games are now collector's items now?

"Definition for 'natural causes' ":

Quote:

PHRASE

If someone dies of or from natural causes, they die because they are ill or old rather than because of an accident or violence.

Sad news about Bob Barker, I was hoping he would make it to 100. Legendary game show host/master of ceremonies, there will not be another like him.

Some problems with Alzheimer's Disease go way beyond the embarrassment of memory loss and lack of facial recognition of others. It comes down to one's well being: not realizing that one needs to eat, walk, take medicines and even the ability to swallow food. Yes, it can get that bad.

A TPIR Question.

It's well known about Bob's position on the use of animal furs and his troubles with multiple models. I recently heard that Bob enacted an American car policy on TPIR. I had never heard of this.

Anyone know when the no foreign made car policy for prizes was enacted?

He was giving away Datsuns and Toyotas in the 1980s.
