"The Price is Right," host Bob Barker has died. In his more than 30 years as emcee of "The Price is Right," Bob Barker changed in only one appreciable way: He stopped dyeing his hair in the early 1990s, two decades into the game show's long and storied run. Nearly everything else about Barker – his tanned and lithe looks, his avuncular ease with contestants, his witty rapport with the audience – remained the same. Even the CBS set where "Price" had been taped five times a week beginning in 1972 didn’t change much: the same mustard-avocado-and-tangerine color scheme, the same Smithsonian-worthy Showcase Showdown wheel. Barker has died at the age of 99, according to his publicist Roger Neal. » Subscribe to USA TODAY: http://bit.ly/1xa3XAh » Watch more on this and other topics from USA TODAY: http://bit.ly/2Dw3Wnh » USA TODAY delivers current local and national news, sports, entertainment, finance, technology, and more through award-winning journalism, photos, videos and VR. #BobBarker #PriceIsRight TV
