Bob Barker is reflecting on his life. The 98-year-old retired in 2007 from being the longtime host of the game show The Price Is Right. He was the beloved host of the show for 35 years. Bob talks about what it was really like working on the show and reflects on his favorite things.

He joked, “I’m often asked what I loved most about my years with ‘Price,’ and the first thing that pops to mind is… the money, of course!” He added, “All kidding aside, there was much to love. I had the pleasure of working with a dedicated and talented cast and crew for 35 great years. Particularly close to my heart was the ability our vast popularity gave me to remind our entire audience daily about the importance of spaying and neutering your pets.”

While Bob is enjoying some downtime, he still regularly donates to animal causes and even founded the DJ&T Foundation. It helps provide low-cost spay and neutering services and helps fight animal mistreatment.
