I don't know if you guys know, but The Price is Right's last episode aired today. I was told that they would be showing it again later this evening. I wanted to post this because Bob Barker is an American Legend, been entertaining us for over 50 years in our homes, has amazing charisma and exceptionally unique humour. I wish to personally and professionally thank him for everything he's done. Oh, and his famous statement, of which I hope you all know: "Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered. Goodbye, everybody!"

Repeats again at 8pm EST. Missed the first airing, but I'll be sure to catch it this evening. Though on amusing note, he said he might come back if they can't get a good enough host to replace him x3

There won't be a host anywhere on this planet that will have the caliber or the talent of the famed Robert Barker.

No one will replace Bob. They can't do it. The show will die.

It just wouldn't feel the same without him. Heck, the new announcer they have doesn't feel the same compare to the older one I knew from the late 80s.

I remember watching that show many times while growing up.
My only fault with him is there is alternative, it's call vasectomy and tubal ligation. It does work, ask the folks at wolf park.
Other then that, wonderful man and even helped the animal rights movement.
I still remember the one showcase winner that bid within 2 dollars and got them both.

permalinkTake heart, it's not the last TPiR. Just the last one hosted by Bob Barker.

I'm suddenly reminded of an Animaniacs episode... in which Ben Stein gave voice to the droning, endlessly chattering 'Pip'.
Pip: I came upon a man with a white orchid in his lapel. It was Bob Barker, and he was eating a bolony and cheeze-ball sandwich.
One of my favorite episodes as the Warner Brothers (and the Warner sister) encounter someone more annoying than themselves!
And it mentions Bob Barker!
