I can't imagine John Travolta or Jay Leno doing "The Price is Right". I'd much rather see Bob Barker emceeing it, even with his black hair turned white, or doing it when he was already 90, and in a wheel chair with an oxygen tank. I'm just gonna miss that show, and I thought it was so neat and I always wanted to play in it.
Couldn't he just stick around another five years?
I didn't like how he was portrayed in Happy Gilmour with that fight scene, because Bob is cool. Monty Hall was probably better, but unlike "Let's make a deal", contestants have to actually earn their way on stage, instead of just picked for their costume.
But I never did like outbidding someone by one dollar, or just bidding one dollar, that kind of stuff sucked,, and how about that other emcee (Olson?) wearing that light green sparkly outfit, and sitting up there in his box describing all the merchandise? Anyone else here have any fond thoughts on "the Price is Right"?

Maybe some of you are just too young to appreciate Bob, but there was this other show around way back when called, "Let's make a deal!", which was very exciting, but only a half hour long, and on prime time, and on ABC, which was hard to get then in my area without cable.
Bob had a daytime show called Truth or Consequences, which was kind of boring, and didn't offer many prizes. Then, "Let's make a deal!" was canceled, (strange because it was terribly exciting) and in the early '70's they made "the Price is Right" with Bob, which to me just felt like a homecoming. My thoughts anyway. Seemed like a father to me.

Theres only one Bob Barker .I actually met him once in the studio . During a commercial break I told him I liked him in that movie with Adam Sandler where he beat him up , Then Bob replied , Why you know adam sandler wasn't famous till I kicked his *** , and he even lifted up his leg and all like in the movie if I recall . That was as good as it gets for me . I have always been a big fan . They better not try to replace him cause hes irreplaceable. Sincereley , One of Bobs California Cuties ANd life long fan , kbc

I can't imagine anyone else doing the show, either. Bob is definitely a TV legand. He has the perfect personality and sense of humor for the show, and he will be missed.
It is really miraculous that he has survived all these years, I can remember these overexcited people practically tossing him up in the air years ago, or hugging him so hard you would think that he would have broken ribs.
I think that the emcee was Rod Roddy, he passed away about two years ago, he was famous for the sparkly suits, rather Liberace-like and unique. He had a very distinctive voice and you could always tell when he was saying "Come on down," it would be heard through the entire house.
Bob was always friendly to everyone, even when people were picking him up,
knocking him over or chasing him. Very much a gentleman and a class act.
When I have seen interviews about him retiring, he doesn't sound as if he is very convinced of the whole thing; he just wants some time off. Considering the man was born in 1923, he must be a bit tired at the age of eighty-four.
This is another one of the old-time family friendly shows that is going to be really difficult to see end with Bob at the helm. I wish him the best.

Bob is a cool old dude and saying good-bye is difficult. Heck, you and I could have a dialogue on shows I miss including, What's My Line, Treasure Hunt and Match Game.
As far as personalities I miss, The Carol Burnett Show was great especially when Conway made them cry when he did the elephant skit.
