Bob Barker Finale: A Snooze
Saturday, June 16, 2007
If you were looking for a big send-off for Bob Barker, you would have been very appointed. Barker's last episode of the "Price Is Right" aired last night and was just your average show. There were no huge prizes or special tributes for the longtime host. Barker simply ended the show by thanking everyone for tuning in all these years.
While the show itself was short on tributes, the Daytime Emmy's, which aired right after, was one big tribute to Barker. He was given his 19th Emmy for best game show host at the top of the show. Later on, Dr. Phil paid tribute to him, while several presenters commented on his retiring throughout the night.
So far, no word on Barker's replacement. CBS weatherman Dave Price, actor/game show host John O'Hurley, actor George Hamilton, E! host Todd Newton and Entertainment Tonight's Mark Steines are all rumored to be in the running for the gig.
