Bob Barker Retiring From 'Price Is Right'

14 posts in this topic

Yesterday, CBS announced that Bob Barker, host of 'The Price Is Right', will retire in June of 2007 after 50 years on TV, 35 of which as host of the show. He will be 83 years old when he retires.

This is definetly an old school show that I'm so suprised is still on the air today. He, and his show, is a TV icon. I remember watching him as a kid, and when I was home sick from school. All the classic games and prizes and the vibe of the show really take you back to TV's yesteryears.

According to CBS, they are looking for Bob's replacment.....the new host will have to know the details of over 80 different games.

I wonder if they plan a renovation/update of the set? And I wonder if anyone will watch without Bob?

I think finding the right person to replace Bob will be very difficult. This marks the end of another era in television.

Best wishes, Bob!!!!!

No matter how old it gets, the show is one of those things that you can't help but to think of whenever you think of daytime TV. Although I think the best Bob Barker moment was in "Happy Gilmore," when Adam Sandler punched him and told him that "the price is wrong." I can't help but to crack up hysterically whenever I hear that line...

A redesign of the set would be cool to make it more modern might get some new viewers!

Bob Barker is a legend he will be sorely missed. I dont think there will be anyone as good as him to be the new host of the Price is Right.

There's still a version of "Family Feud" around, but it's never been the same since Richard Dawson left.
