    Bob Barker, the longtime host of television’s “The Price Is Right” who used his combination of comfort-food charm and deadpan humor to become an American television staple, has died, according to his longtime publicist. He was 99.

    Barker was also a longtime animal rights activist, ending each episode of “The Price Is Right” with the plea: “Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered.”

    Barker’s longtime friend Nancy Burnet remembered him for his work in exposing animal cruelty.

    “I am so proud of the trailblazing work Barker, and I did together to expose the cruelty to animals in the entertainment industry and including working to improve the plight of abused and exploited animals in the United States and internationally,” Burnet said in a statement Saturday.

    She added that the two had been friends for 40 years. "He will be missed.”

    In 2013, Barker donated $1 million to move three captive elephants from the Toronto Zoo to a sanctuary in California.

    Bob Barker was a classy guy and I always appreciated him taking up for animal rights. The world was a better place with him here.

    Rip Suzanne Somers dies at 76 one day before her 77th BD. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family
