Julie Bowen

The Modern Family alum, who also starred in Happy Gilmore, wrote on Instagram, "I will never forget Adam convincing Bob Barker to say the iconic line, 'the price is WRONG, bi*ch!' Bob was kind and polite and had declined to say the line, but he got swept up in the hilarious fight scene between him and Happy, he just…said it. It's one of my favorite filming memories ever."

Bowen added, "In honor of Bob: please remember to spay and neuter your pets. RIP Bob."
