Bob Barker’s girlfriend Nancy Burnet is said to be in talks with officials o get a town square in Los Angeles named in his honour<\/p>\n

The beloved host of ‘The Price is Right’ passed away on 26 August aged 99 after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease and now it’s been reported that his partner and his representatives are working towards securing him a memorial town square in LA.<\/p>\n

Bob’s longtime publicist Roger Neal has told TMZ.com they are working with City of Los Angeles officials to potentially create a Bob Barker Memorial Square at an intersection in the region.<\/p>\n

They are believed to be in contact with City Council Member Hugo Soto-Martinez, whose district includes the Los Angeles area of Hollywood where Bob lived for many years, in a bid to find an area where a tribute square would fit.<\/p>\n

Back in 2013, the City of Los Angeles previously honoured late comedian Carol Burnett with a square on an intersection close to the school in Hollywood which she attended as a child.<\/p>\n

\nMickey Rooney was also honoured with a town square named in his honour in 2015.<\/p>\n

\nBob – who hosted iconic game show ‘The Price is Right’ for a total of 35 years passed away at his Los Angeles home last month and his representative confirmed the sad news in a statement: \u201cIt is with profound sadness that we announce that the World\u2019s Greatest MC who ever lived, Bob Barker has left us.”<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking about his long career, the telly star admitted he had “never” studied speech or aimed for a career on camera before he had been working for a local radio station and ended up as an announcer by chance. During a speech at the Emmys Awards in 2000, he said: \u201cI had never studied speech. I\u2019d never studied drama. I had never been in a school play. I had never been before an audience and I was on duty there as an announcer. Ted Tucker, bless him, didn\u2019t show up. \u201cI didn\u2019t even have time to get nervous. I\u2019m out there doing it live.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
