Some of the outtakes from the "Price is Right" show are absolutely hilarious.

Love him, but he's 74 years old himself. I doubt that replace Barker with someone so close in age. They'll probably go with someone in their 30's or 40's.

Fifty years? Wow. I haven't caught a show in decades though.

I can't imagine anyway taking his place. What is Price is Right without Bob Barker?

I hope he doesn't become one of those PETA activist while in retirement.

Enjoy retirement, Bob. I wonder if Barker's Beauties will keep him company.

Well, there goes the last bastion of grace and class on television. It was almost over when Johnny left. With Bob gone, its dead.

I dont think Bob is a vegetarian, just a advocate for keeping pet populations under control.(Last I knew he was a Republican also)

Howie Mandel would be pretty good...maybe a bit too sarcastic though.

>>>What is Price is Right without Bob Barker?

Something that will be watched by fewer people than watch the perky news-wench on the SeeBS network.
