Bob Barker, the charismatic, longtime host of “The Price is Right” and an outspoken animal rights activist, has died. He was 99.

Barker died at his home Saturday morning in Los Angeles. His rep confirmed his passing to TMZ. The game show legend died of natural causes.

“I think that it would be nice if people remembered me as a guy who loved all living things and did as much as he could to make ours a better world for animals — and also did quite a few television shows,” Barker said in 2007 when asked how he’d like to be remembered.

Barker was a 19-time Daytime Emmy award-winner: 14 for Outstanding Game Show Host for “The Price Is Right” and four “Outstanding Game Show” awards as the show’s executive producer.

He was also awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1995 Daytime Emmys. Barker received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1976.

He was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 2004 and the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2008.

Born Robert William Barker in Darrington, Washington, on Dec. 12, 1923, Barker spent most of his childhood on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in Mission, South Dakota. He was a member of the Sioux tribe.

“I’ve always bragged about being part Indian, because they are a people to be proud of. And the Sioux were the greatest warriors of them all,” Barker said in 1962.

“They’ve been called the greatest light cavalry in the history of man. And I have never been on a horse without falling off.”

Barker attended Drury University on a basketball scholarship until he left to join the Navy Reserve in 1943 during World War II to train as a fighter pilot but never served on active duty.

Barker married his high school sweetheart, Dorothy Jo Gideon, in 1945. The couple never had any children. Gideon died in 1981.

Also in 1945, Barker returned to Drury to earn his degree in economics.

Barker got his first media job at KTTS-FM Radio in Springfield, Mississippi, during college. He then became a news editor and announced at WWPG 1340 AM in Palm Beach, Florida, before moving to California to advance in his broadcasting career.

He hosted his own radio show in Burbank, “The Bob Barker Show,” for six years, and was hosting a radio show in Los Angeles when he was tapped to replace host Jack Bailey on the gameshow “Truth or Consequences.”

Barker hosted the game show “Truth or Consequences” from 1956 to 1975, and in 1972, was asked to host CBS’ revival of “The Price is Right.”

He did so for more than three decades as his final episode aired on June 15, 2007.

The then-83-year-old Barker officially passed his hosting duties along to comedian Drew Carey.

“I knew I could never be Bob, and I wasn’t going to try to be Bob,” Carey told said in 2007. “We went out to lunch, and his advice was ‘Don’t try to copy me. Just make it your own show.”

“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,” Barker told People in 2007.

“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,” he continued.

“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,” Barker said of his famous sign-off, which he said at the end of every episode starting in 1982.

In 1994, the former “Price” model Dian Parkinson sued Barker for a reported $8 million for alleged sexual harassment following an unlawful termination.

She claimed she was forced to have oral sex with Barker in his dressing room “about twice a week” for three-and-a-half years, and feared she’d be fired if she refused.

Barker countered that she’d initiated “a little hanky-panky” and copped to having a consensual relationship with Parkinson for a year and a half. A judge dismissed the wrongful termination charge in the suit but let the sexual harassment charge stand. Then, in 1995, Parkinson dropped the whole shebang, citing medical stress related to the lawsuit (a bleeding ulcer) and her inability to afford a costly legal battle.

A year later, fellow “Barker Beauty” Holly Hallstrom claimed in a lawsuit that she was fired from the show because she refused to give false information to the media regarding Parkinson’s suit as Barker allegedly wanted her to do.

Barker countersued for slander and the case was settled out of court.

In 1996, Barker made a fan-favorite cameo in “Happy Gilmore” where he beat up Adam Sandler’s character.

Barker claimed that a stunt double was hired for the fight, but he asked to do his own stunts.

“I did ‘Price’ until 2007 and I didn’t do one show that the audience didn’t want to talk about ‘Happy Gilmore,'” Barker said in a 2013 interview with “CBS Mornings.”

“They’d say ‘Could you really whip at him? Could you beat him up in real life?’ I’d say, ‘Are you kidding? Adam Sandler couldn’t whip Regis Philbin.’ They’d laugh, they loved that.”

Barker released his memoir “Priceless Memories” in April 2009, which he co-wrote with former Los Angeles Times book review editor Digby Diehl.

Barker had several health scares throughout his long life.

In September 1999, he had emergency surgery to fix a life-threatening blocked artery on the left side of his neck.

Barker had numerous bouts of skin cancer throughout his life due to frequent tanning.

In 2015, he suffered a fall outside of his LA home and hurt his left knee. Barker was taken to a hospital and got stitches in the forehead.

He suffered a less serious fall again in June 2017.

Barker was rushed to the hospital in October and November 2018 for severe back pain.

RIP Bobby Osborne

 

Bobby Osborne, 91, Mandolinist Who Flouted Bluegrass Convention, Dies

The band he led with his brother broke new ground with an unusually broad repertoire, unorthodox instrumentation and untraditional vocal harmonies.

New York Times

By Bill Friskics-Warren

June 27, 2023

 

The band he led with his brother broke new ground with an unusually broad repertoire, unorthodox instrumentation and untraditional vocal harmonies.

Bobby Osborne, the singer and mandolin player who joined with his younger brother, Sonny, to lead one of the most groundbreaking bands in the history of bluegrass, died on Tuesday in Gallatin, Tenn., a suburb of Nashville. He was 91.

His death, at a hospital, was confirmed by Dan Rogers, the vice president and executive producer of the Grand Ole Opry.

Formed in 1953, the Osborne Brothers, perhaps best known for their 1967 recording of “Rocky Top,” habitually flouted bluegrass convention during their first two decades. They were the first bluegrass group of national renown to incorporate drums, electric bass, pedal steel guitar and even, on records, string sections. They were also the first to record with twin banjos, as well as the first to amplify their instruments with electric pickups.

Employing a wider repertoire than the Appalachian wellspring from which most of their peers drew, the Osbornes embraced country, pop and rock material associated with the likes of Ernest Tubb, Randy Newman and the Everly Brothers.

“We caught lots of flack from the die-hard bluegrass fans,” Mr. Osborne said of the group’s relationship with bluegrass purists in a 2011 interview with the online publication Mandolin Café.

Perhaps nothing the Osbornes did rankled the bluegrass orthodoxy more than the three-part vocal harmonies they patented on their 1958 recording of the lovelorn ballad “Once More.”

At the time, bluegrass arrangements typically featured one voice singing the melody, with a tenor and a baritone supplying harmonies above and below it. By contrast, the Osbornes positioned Bobby’s voice, singing the melody, above the two other voices. The result was the bright, euphonious blend that became the group’s trademark.

Mr. Osborne told NPR in 2017 that the group discovered this sound while rehearsing “Once More” as they drove home from a show one night. “We knew then,” he said, “that we caught onto something that we had never heard before.”

“So we got the guitar out of the trunk and found out what key we was in,” he continued. “We sang that song all the way home so we would not forget that type of harmony.”

The trio that perfected this new approach consisted of Mr. Osborne, his bold, high-pitched lead the focal point; his brother, Sonny, on baritone; and the singer and guitarist Red Allen on another part beneath them both, adding a third layer of harmony.

A formative member during the group’s early years, Mr. Allen had previously appeared on the Osbornes’ popular 1956 recording of “Ruby, Are You Mad?,” an unbridled two-banjo romp written by the old-time country singer Cousin Emmy, a.k.a. Cynthia May Carver.

To the surprise of some people, the Osbornes were vindicated over the next decade and a half for steadfastly breaking with tradition. Among other accomplishments, they were named vocal group of the year by the Country Music Association in 1971. They were also one of the few bluegrass bands to place records on the country singles chart consistently.

Along the way they built a bridge between first-generation bluegrass royalty like Bill Monroe and the duo of Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs and intrepid latter-day inheritors like New Grass Revival and Alison Krauss.

Foremost among the Osbornes’ 18 charting singles was “Rocky Top,” an unabashed celebration of mountain culture that reached the country Top 40. Written by the husband-and-wife team of Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, who also wrote hits like “Tennessee Hound Dog” for the Osbornes and even bigger hits for the Everly Brothers, “Rocky Top” was adopted as one of Tennessee’s official state songs and as the fight song for the University of Tennessee football team, the Volunteers.

Robert Van Osborne Jr. was born on Dec. 7, 1931, in Thousandsticks, an unincorporated Appalachian enclave near Hyden, Ky., where he and his brother grew up. Their parents, Robert and Daisy (Dixon) Osborne, were schoolteachers; Robert Sr. supplemented their teaching income by moonlighting in his parents’ general store.

Young Bobby took up the electric guitar as a teenager after the family moved to Dayton, Ohio, where he also began playing in local country bands and working as a cabdriver.

The Osborne brothers started their own band after Bobby completed two years of service with the Marines in Korea, where he was wounded in combat and earned the Purple Heart. He and Sonny had previously worked for bluegrass luminaries — Bobby with Jimmy Martin and the Stanley Brothers, his brother with Mr. Monroe.

In 1956, the Osbornes joined the WWVA Jamboree in Wheeling, W.Va. Four years later, they became one of the first bluegrass bands to perform on a college campus, appearing at Antioch College in Ohio. They subsequently took their music to universities and clubs in the Northeast and performed at the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island.

In 1963, the brothers signed with the Nashville division of Decca Records, which was then run by the pre-eminent music producer Owen Bradley. In 1964, they became members of the cast of the Grand Ole Opry.

The Osbornes recorded extensively for Decca (which later became MCA Records) before they parted with the label in 1974, disillusioned that their initial success at country radio did not extend into the 1970s.

A return to a more time-honored approach to bluegrass revitalized their career, which over the next 30 years found them consolidating their place alongside pioneers of the genre like Mr. Monroe and the Stanleys. They were inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Hall of Fame in 1994.

Sonny Osborne retired from performing in 2005, after suffering a shoulder injury, and died in 2021. Bobby, who had undergone quintuple bypass heart surgery, formed a new group, Rocky Top X-Press, with his son, Bobby Jr. (known as Boj), and continued to perform and record.

Besides Bobby Jr., Mr. Osborne is survived by his wife, Karen Osborne; two other sons, Wynn and Robby; a daughter, Tina Osborne; a sister, Louise Williams; five grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. He lived in Portland, Tenn., another suburb of Nashville.

Much has been made of the innovations in production, arrangements and repertoire that the Osbornes introduced to bluegrass. Less, however, has been said of how Mr. Osborne, whose syncopated, lyrical playing was inspired by the jazz-derived solos of old-time fiddlers, broke new ground as a mandolinist.

Speaking to the website Bluegrass Situation in 2017, he explained: “Since I always liked fiddle tunes, and the mandolin is tuned like a fiddle — and I was good with a flat pick from guitar — I got completely wrapped up playing fiddle tunes with the mandolin.”

WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk has died at the age of 79. Ric Flair shared the news of Funk's death on X/Twitter; Funk's friend Mick Foley also shared a tribute on the platform. Terry Funk was predeceased by his wife Vicki and leaves behind two daughters Stacy and Brandee.

Terry and his brother Dory Jr. followed in their father's footsteps by entering his promotion Western States Sports in the 1960s. Terry went on to spend 12 years in Championship Wrestling from Florida and defeated Jack Brisco for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship during that time. He reigned for over a year until Harley Race defeated him.

The Funk brothers also spent several years working with All Japan Pro Wrestling. In the midst of that, Terry debuted in WWF in 1985. He challenged Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship and eventually teamed with Hoss Funk to beat The Junkyard Dog and Tito Santana at WrestleMania II. Funk also worked in WCW before making his way to ECW where he had iconic matches against the likes of Sabu, Shane Douglas, Raven, Stevie Richards, and The Sandman while becoming a two-time ECW Champion.

During his second WWF run, Funk portrayed Chainsaw Charlie in a tag team with Cactus Jack. At WrestleMania 14, the duo were able to beat The New Age Outlaws to win the WWE World Tag Team Championship for a day. Following that, Funk and Foley split to set up a No Holds Barred Falls Count Anywhere Match that Foley won.

The remainder of Funk's career was highlighted by more time in AJPW, MLW, TNA, and other indie promotions until his retirement match in 2017. He received his WWE Hall of Fame induction alongside Dory Jr. in 2009 and then went on to induct Foley in 2013. In 2021, Funk was diagnosed with dementia.

This is a developing story; it will be updated as more information becomes available.

R.I.P. David Jacobs, Dallas and Knots Landing creator

The architect of one of TV's most enduring shows, David Jacobs was 86

AV Club

By Matt Schimkowitz

8/22/2023

 

David Jacobs, the two-time Emmy nominee who forever changed television with the late-night soap operas Dallas and Knots Landing, has died. Per Deadline and confirmed by his son Aaron Jacobs, he died of complications from Alzheimer’s on August 20 at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank. Jacobs was 86.

Jacobs is best known for creating Dallas, the seismic primetime soap that ran for 14 seasons and over 350 episodes between 1978 and 1991. The show was among history’s longest-running live-action primetime dramas, behind the likes of Gunsmoke, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order, Bonanza, and Gray’s Anatomy. However, it’s probably most remembered for its season three finale, “A House Divided,” which posed a question seemingly every TV owner wanted answered: Who shot J.R.?

Among the most parodied, referenced, and discussed TV phenomenons in history, “Who Shot J.R.?” exploded out of the television and onto magazine covers, T-shirts, and into water cooler conversation in America and abroad. The question lingered until episode four of the fourth season when more than 83 million people in the U.S. (a 76% share of viewership that night) and 350 million people worldwide watched the mystery’s conclusion in “Who Done It?” By then, the show had become so ubiquitous that a session of the Turkish parliament reportedly adjourned early so legislators could tune in.

Though TNT would take another stab at Dallas in 2012, reuniting some of the original cast, including Patrick Duffy, Larry Hagman, and Linda Gray, it would last only three seasons. It was canceled in 2014. Still, the original show’s legacy and impact can be felt throughout the modern TV landscape, from the enduring popularity of Twin Peaks to the success of Yellowstone.

Jacobs also found success with a Dallas spin-off called Knots Landing. Running for 14 seasons, the series was another sprawling, decade-spanning primetime soap that ran from 1979 to 1993. He would continue to create, produce, and shepherd new shows, lending his expertise to Lois & Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman and Homefront, which earned him two Emmy nominations.

Jacobs was born on August 12, 1939, in Baltimore, Maryland. He described his father as “an interesting character,” was a “bookie, a billiards champion, a crooner, a songwriter, and my mother took him away from all that.” He married his first wife in 1963 when he began working as a writer, freelancing magazine articles, writing children’s books, and authoring a biography of Charlie Chaplin.

JACOBS, David

Longtime Marvel X-Men Artist Dan Green Passes Away

Dan Green, longtime Marvel artist best known for his long run working with John Romita Jr. and Marc Silvestri on Uncanny X-Men, has passed away

CBR

By Brian Cronin

August 22, 2023

 

Dan Green, longtime Marvel comic book artist, best known for his long run on Uncanny X-Men with John Romita Jr. and Marc Silvestri, has passed away following a long illness.

Green broke into comics at DC in the early 1970s, penciling back-up stories in Tarzan #213-215. He worked on a series of backups for DC throughout 1972-73. Green was initially a penciler, but as Green noted in a 2004 interview, "I've always been a slow penciler, which is why I started taking work as an inker/finisher." The legendary artist, Jim Starlin, has been writing and penciling Captain Marvel for Marvel, and the company kept giving him different inkers on the book (this ultimately led to Starlin quitting the book), and Green made his Marvel debut as one of Starlin's inkers on Captain Marvel #28 and then #31-32.

As a former penciler, Green was quite adept at the art of "finishing." In comic books, inkers deal with either full pencils or breakdowns. In the case of breakdowns, the inker is doing a lot of the penciling work, as well, rather than "just" inking the finished pencils. Green finished off Sal Buscema's breakdowns in Defenders #14 in 1974.

A big break for Green as an inker occurred in 1977 when he took over as the regular inker on Iron Fist with #14 (the introduction of the villain known as Sabretooth), working with penciler John Byrne. He finished that run with Byrne, and then moved with Byrne to Power Man, when Iron Fist joined that book as it became Power Man and Iron Fist. Green then worked with penciler Herb Trimpe on Godzilla at the end of that series' run at Marvel in 1979. At the same time, Green then joined the Avengers working with Byrne again.

Byrne has repeatedly cited Green as one of his all-time favorite inkers of his work.

Around this same time, Green began working on Doctor Strange alongside Gene Colan. Green had a particular affinity for Doctor Strange, and after inking Colan for a year, Green briefly penciled and inked the book himself (it was a bi-monthly book at the time, so he was able to hit the schedule).

Green became the regular Avengers inker, as well, during this period, working with Carmine Infantino, Colan and Bob Hall. In 1984, John Romita Jr. had taken over as the new artist on Uncanny X-Men. Bob Wiacek had been doing the book with Dave Cockrum and Paul Smith, but did not stay on the title. Green did finishes on the book from Uncanny X-Men #179-200, and then returned for a handful of Romita Jr's last few issues on the series, including the iconic Uncanny X-Men #207...

During his break on the book, Green showed off his painting skills by painting the graphic novel, Doctor Strange: Shamballa, with writer J.M. DeMatteis...

When Romita Jr. left the book to launch Marvel's New Universe series of books with Star Brand, Green remained on Uncanny X-Men inking the new regular artist, Marc Silvestri (Green also inked the artists who filled in on the book during Silvestri's run, including Rick Leonardi and Jim Lee's very first X-Men work).

Overall, Green was the main finisher/inker on Uncanny X-Men, Marvel's best-selling title, for six years, leaving the book only when Silvestri left the book to take over art duties on Wolverine (Green went with Silvestri on to Wolverine).

Green remained on the book for Silvestri's entire run from Wolverine #31-57. Silvestri then left Marvel to co-found Image Comics.

Romita Jr. returned to Uncanny X-Men in 1993, and Green returned with him, as "just" his inker now. They remained on the book for the next 20 issues or so, starting with Uncanny X-Men #300 (the pair also drew Uncanny X-Men #200, as well)...

After Romita Jr. lost his Uncanny X-Men gig to Joe Madureira, Green moved over to Wolverine, inking Adam Kubert (and remaining on the book when Anthony Winn took over as penciler from Kubert).

Green had runs on Spectacular Spider-Man working over Luke Ross' pencils with Al Milgrom. He also inked Ron Garney for the first time on Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty (while re-pairing with his old Uncanny X-Men collaborator, Rick Leonardi, on Rampaging Hulk). Green moved to the relaunched Hulk ongoing series in 1999 with Garney. (amusingly, a book written by Green's old Avengers art partner, John Byrne).

After over 25 years of regular Marvel work, Green moved back to DC at the turn of the 21st Century, working on titles like Deadman, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Rose and Thorn and a reunion with Ron Garney on a run on JLA in 2004. Green was a regular inker for DC throughout the first decade of the 2000s, and when the New 52 hit in 2011, Green continued to move around the various DC titles, inking Animal Man #1, Supergirl #1, and issues of All-Star Western, Wonder Woman and Legion of Super-Heroes. Green was still getting sporadic DC inking assignments as recently as 2018.

J.M. DeMatteis summed up Green well on social media, writing, "Dan Green wasn't just one of our best inkers, he was a wonderful illustrator—as evidenced by his extraordinary work on INTO SHAMBALLA. He was also an old friend. A great loss, a great sadness, for all who knew him."

CBR offers our condolences to Green's friends and family on his loss.
