Bob Barker, the host of the Price is Right for 35 years, has announced his intent to retire in June 2007 from his hosting role that has made him famous and is the familiar face of gameshows for several generations of viewers including myself.
Bob Barker's 50 year career on television began back in 1956 as host of "Truth or Consequences" with his first "Price is Right" hosting duty beginning on September 4th 1972.
CBS plans on having a prime-time special celebrating Price's long live and Bob's long career. The search for a replacement host is in the works but considering how replacements have gone in the past, I expecting a so-so comedian of D level skill set.
While the time is right, enjoy this bit of television history before it comes to a close.
