Dude is 83 years old, and is still more sane than most people younger than him. Go, Bob.

Thats the end of The Price Is Right then. No one else can host it.

 

[terry78]

^They'll find someone else. Some people are just in it for Bob, but those cash prizes and random cars will make them get over it real quick.

 

[tzarinna]

I hope he doesn't die once he quits.

 

[The Chairman]

^ Me neither.

And yes, the show isn't the same without Bob. Cancel it after he goes.

 

[Immortalfire]

No way. Talk about the end of an era

 

[Lurk]

No Bob, No Plinko

 

[Dorian Gray]

I hope he doesn't die once he quits.

Thats usually what happens, I've always beleived if a person keeps busy they usualy live healthier lives.

My father is 63 and you wouldn't think he was by looking at him....and he can work circles around me.

I wanna see em beat up the whole audience Happy Gilmore style the last show.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo

Get that guy from The Young & The Restless to be the host for a while.
He hosted a few eps while Bob Barker was sick maybe 9 or 10 years ago.

Anyway, good for Bob. The man deserved a break and he is a TV legend.
Don't sack the show, though. That show never gets old.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo

In a related story, when was it Leno said he was stepping down? I can't wait for that one.

2009. Conan O'Brien will take over for him.

PIR was never the same when that whacky announcer died...

Not like I've watched in a while... I stopped watching once he stopped using hair dye..

Yeah that's what I thought.

If he still keeps the same writers and co, The Tonight Show will be awesome.

Conan belongs in NY.. not LA...

**** Leno and **** the Tonight Show....

On a side note.. LNWCO was never the same without Andy.

Oh MAN is that god-awful. I hope George pays an eternal price for that scene.

It'll be interesting to see how much the viewership of the Price is Right drops off once Bob's gone... hopefully he doesn't drop out of the public eye to go off and die somewhere, but he sticks around and makes the occasional appearance.

Conan will do just fine hosting the Tonight Show, he just needs some new material. I wonder if Max Weinberg will be going with him? If so, those two really need to do SOMETHING different. Every time I watch Conan, it's the same shtick over and over again.

This was said in the bible.

2009 can't come soon enough
