Bob Barker is very much alive at 93 years old, despite what a viral social media story would have some people believe.

A fake news story from 2016 began re-circulating this week claiming that the former "The Price Is Right" game show host had taken a bad fall and died from his injuries.

Yes, 2016 was a bad year for celebrity deaths, but it didn't claim Barker.

In late June the game show icon did in fact suffer a fall at his Hollywood Hills home, but he was able to recover, according to People magazine.

Snopes was one of the first outlets to debunk the hoax story, which got Barker's age wrong.

Barker ended his 35-year run on the CBS game show in 2007. He's made a handful of appearances on the show since stepping down, including a 2015 April Fool's Day gag. Drew Carey currently hosts the long-running game show.

So rest easy, Barker is alive. But you should probably have your pets spayed or neutered if they aren't already.
