What is Price is Right without Bob Barker?

Not very much, as I think we're unfortunately going to find out. I've long believed that once he goes, the show is more-or-less going with him. It could last without Barker, but I can't see it IMO.

He would probably say no, but I think Tim Allen could be a good pick.

That's what I like the most about "The Price is Right."
Those models are so freakin' hot, I'm surprised the set doesn't burst into flame.

I hope they do one of those spectacular evening Price is Right shows as his final one.

Not if there is an all-you-can-eat buffet open somewhere.

I have always felt the same way about the show. I knew this day would come doesn't make it any easier.

True. And it also means 'Barker's Beauties' will be retiring too.

Ah, the original three. Diane, Holly, and Janice. All three ended up suing Bob and TPIR at one point. Diane for sexual harassment, Holly and Janice for wrongful termination.

Still the hottest three women on daytime television!

Bring Chuck Barris out of retirement, he would bring an odd twist to the show.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away the show was on ABC and NBC in both day and night versions and ran from 1956 to 1964. It was hosted by Bill Cullen and somewhat less low brow than the second version with Barker which started in 1972. Dennis James also hosted a nighttime syndicated show early in the second versions restart.

He will be sorely missed! Although I haven't seen a Price is Right show in at least 5 years.
