R.I.P. Rod Roddy

What’s with all the celebrity deaths recently? Is the rapture at hand?

God’s latest “Come on down” was to Rod Roddy, the annoucer on the Price is Right.

Check this out:

Roddy, who got his TV start as the narrator on the ABC comedy “Soap,” died Monday in Los Angeles of prostate, colon and breast cancer, the network said in a statement.

First, I didn’t know that men could get breast cancer, though at his size, I’m not too surprised. Second, you can die of 3 cancers simultaneously? Geez, that sucks.

TiVo recommended the Price is Right last week and I put it on while I was doing other things. From watching the show, I wasn’t as worried about Rod Roddy as I was about Bob Barker. He looks about as stable as a Plinko chip.

  1. THE SHOW WON’T BE THE SAME WITHOUT ROD. AT LEAST THE SHOW STILL HAS BOB. I’VE BEEN A FAN OF “THE PRICE IS RIGHT” ALL OF MY LIFE. ROD ISN’T SUFFERING ANYMORE; HE’S IN A BETTER PLACE. IS BOB GOING TO STAY WITH THE SHOW FOR A FEW MORE YEARS? WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR CLAUDIA JORDAN’S DISMISSAL?
