He was great at what he did, quite wonderful.
I hope everyone knows what he did for animal welfare.

The word that always came to my mind when the name Bob Barker was mentioned was superlative.
And Bob defined the meaning of preparation.
Tape never rolled until Bob is ready.
And that meant prepared.
It was my distinct honor and privilege to call Bob my friend for a number of years.
To chat with Bob about his career was both interesting and meaningful.
Bob was so successful, because he was a simple and natural talent.
May he rest in peace.
He will be missed by all who knew him.
Heres hoping that all his consequences are happy ones.
Adam Sharp president/CEO NATAS Television Academy/Daytime Emmys:
Bob Barker was a Daytime television mainstay for generations.
You dont mess with perfection.
His championship of the craft and for animal welfare were equal in their exuberance.
His presence will be missed greatly by the Emmy community.
Our condolences to the staff and crew of The Price is Right and the fans.
