Bob Barker has reached another major milestone in his life. The former host of “The Price Is Right” turned 99 on December 12, per NBC. According to Barker’s camp, his birthday plans included “watching his favorite TV shows” and spending his day “quietly.” In the months leading up to his 99th birthday, Barker’s girlfriend Nancy Burnet gave an update on his health. “He’s doing pretty well … he’s happy, he’s engaged. He’s just doing remarkably well for almost 99 years of age,” she told Closer. She added that while he’s “a little bit forgetful … that comes with the territory.”
“A lot of people at that age are very gaunt, frail. He isn’t at all, he’s very sturdy. His weight is good, he’s strong and he has this meal replacement in addition to his regular meals because [it’s] just the way he gets everything,” Burnet told the publication. The 79-year-old shared that Barker keeps busy by reading anything to do with history and watching television. However, Burnet revealed that Barker doesn’t watch his former show, as it’s “nothing like it was.”
When Barker retired, comedian and former sitcom star Drew Carey took over “The Price Is Right.” It appears that the longtime host wasn’t too thrilled with his predecessor.
