Welcome to The List,
It’s probably safe to assume that Bob Barker had a lot of money. And according to TMZ, most of it is being left to charity. Not surprisingly, that includes a lot of animal welfare organizations. Bob’s rep also says he spent a lot of time in his last days watching TV. Reruns of “Two and a Half Men” were among his favorites. He also checked out “The Price Is Right” every now and then, and he thought Drew Carey was doing a good job as host. On a related note: CBS will air an hourlong special tomorrow night called “The Price Is Right: A Tribute to Bob Barker“. Drew will host.
