News of Bob Barker’s death has devastated fans around the world, with many taking to social media to mourn him. But newly resurfaced clips have softened the blow of the TV host’s departure.
A video shared on TikTok showcasing Barker’s timeless humor featured the late legend acting out a scene with “Grown Ups” star Adam Sandler in a hospital setting.
The three-minute clip, which begins with a casual conversation between the pair, quickly devolves into chaos, with Barker and Sandler fighting each other in the most outrageous way possible.
At one point in the skit, Barker pours his supposed urine over Sandler’s head and then proceeds to gulp down a vial of what appears to be the Ebola virus, which he spits all over the actor’s face.
The skit ends with Barker and Sandler dying and going to heaven, where they continue their hilarious bickering.
In reaction to the hilarious video, one fan wrote, “Oh my God! This is great!!! RIP Bob, you will be missed.” Another commented, “RIP Bob… Thanks for cheering me up as a kid at home playing sick to get out of school.”
“Bob was a very nice man with a great sense of humor. RIP Bob and thanks for the memories.”
A fourth fan added, “OMG, this makes me feel better, I love Bob so much.”

Barker reportedly died in his sleep at his home in the Hollywood Hills at the age of 99.
The news of his death was shared by Roger Neal, who acted as his publicist for two periods: from 1987 to 1994 and again in 2020. He made the announcement on behalf of Barker’s girlfriend, Nancy Burnet.
“It is with deep sadness that we announce that the World’s Greatest MC that ever lived, Bob Barker, has left us,” Neal said in a statement.
Burnet wrote about Barker’s work as an animal rights activist in a separate statement.
He said, “I am very proud of the great work I have done with Barker to expose animal cruelty in the entertainment industry and including working to improve the plight of abused and exploited animals in the United States and internationally. He will be missed.”

Although Barker’s cause of death was assumed to be natural, his final years were marked by health concerns that required medical attention.
In June 2017, he fell at his home, hitting his head and leading to a hospital visit for a concussion. After his release a few days later, he temporarily stepped back from hosting “The Price Is Right” and eventually retired from the show a few months later.
In 2018, an ambulance and fire department responded to a 911 call at his residence, which turned out not to be an emergency. Additionally, in January 2019, paramedics were called to her home after a fall, although hospitalization was not required in that situation.
