Bob Barker turned 96 on Thursday. Many remember him for hosting “The Price is Right,” which he did beginning in 1972. He remained the host for 35 years.

Drew Carey has hosted the show since 2007.

The show saluted Barker with a special birthday message.

He always concluded each episode by saying, “Have your pets spayed or neutered.”

The studio where “The Price is Right” is recorded is named after Barker.
