The Next Host ?
Drew Carey has selected as the new host.
Bob Barker is one of the most skilled MC’s I have ever seen. The Price Is Right is unique for a game show in that it’s a rather open ended format. Nobody knows how quickly someone will win a pricing game. Bob is an expert at pacing the show. He knows exactly when to drag some bits out and he knows when to hurd the contestants along
There are a few other possibilities that initially sprang to my mind like Regis Philbin, Wayne Brady or Tom Bergeron. However all of those guys are under contract with ABC.
Who do you think will be the next host of The Price Is Right ?

I think Wayne Brady would be a great host. He is smart, sharp, funny and a great entertainer and the viewers would love him. By the way I am a 63 year old white women so I am not just being prejudice.

Dear Viewers: It’s Me Victor.I know he’s going to retire Next year. What is he going to do when he retires. I’m going to spend the Summer with him in 2008. I wanna tell him I’m scared of Summer. Bob Barker have you watched the TV Show “Street Smarts” with Frank Nicotero.

I have watched Bob Barker since he was on Truth or Consequences and have enjoyed his wit and personnality. I can’t forsee anyone really filling those shoes. Happy Retirement, Mr. Barker.

I am 12 years old and really don’t want Bob Barker to retire. I was so sad that I cried today in school. I think that Bob is the only one for this job, but if there is going to be a new host, I think it should be Pat S. that hosts “Wheel of Fortune.” I am going to miss Bob!

For Bob Barker, thanks for the memories and have a happy, enjoyable retirement. The Price is Right will go on, but I believe since he has experience hosting TPIR Live in Las Vegas and has actually attended tapings of the show, Todd Newton will be Bob Barker’s successor, and he’ll carry the show from here on out. Yes, the Bob Barker era will offically close its chapter when he tapes his final TPIR telecast, early next month. Todd Newton is clearly the most qualified host to succeed Bob Barker, hosting The Price is Right. One era will end, but another will begin, hopefully with Todd Newton hosting. I think Thursday night on his TV special, Bob Barker should introduce his successor. He will be succeeded, but never replaced. On that note, my most favorite memory of Bob Barker was when he kicked Happy Gilmore’s butt, after he said (I’m being politically correct, here), “The price is wrong, Bob!”, just like in the TV broadcast movie trailers. I’ll end this by saying “The Price is Right, Gilmore, and don’t you ever forget it!”

Dear Bob,
I’m calling you by your first name because I feel I have known you a very long time. I started watching the Price Is Right when it went on the air in 1972. I would watch your show daily during the summer beacuse I was in middle school then. I had the privilege of watching a taping in 2005 when I was in Los Angeles and it was a great experience. Thank you for keeping us entertained all these years. The show will go on but it will not be the same without you. Enjoy your retirement, you deserve it.

Dear Bob,
I have watched you, since “Truth or Consequences” I told myself if I ever was in California that I would make a trip to your studio. That DREAM came true in the year of 2006. YOU LOOK GREAT IN PERSON, and ON CAMERA!
Your the best game show host!!
I just hope you know the best who gave His best too. God the Father, who gave His Son Jesus. All we need to do is repent and receive Him.

God bless you… and all the pets in the world. (I love them too!!!)

For Bob Barker, thanks for the memories! We should consider marketing tee-shirts that read “The Price is Right, Gilmore!” Fremantle Home Video should consider preparing Volume 1 of “The Best of TPIR” in the same way as the recent release of “The Best of Match Game, Vol. 1″. No one will ever replace Bob Barker, but as the host of The Price is Right, he will be succeeded. His successor will not try to be Bob, just host the show his way, be himself and have fun doing it. His trademark phrase is “Help control the pet population, have your pets spayed or neutered!” His successor should come up with his own trademark phrase to close each show. He will always be the King of all Game Show Hosts-Bob Barker.

HELLO MR. BARKER.
I JOINED THE LAPD SAME TIME YOU STARTED THE FAMOUS SHOW ” THE PRICE IS RIGHT”. I AM THE COP THAT RESCUED THE PONY AND THE LITTLE GIRLS FROM QUICKSAND IN CHATSWORTH IN 1981. THE LAPD GAVE ME THE MEDAL AND YOU GAVE ME A PLAQUE. I TO HAVE RETIRED AFTER 36 YEARS . I WAS THE OFFICER ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE TIMES AFTER THE SHOOTOUT AT BANK OF AMERICA IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD . THE LAPD GAVE ME THE MEDAL FOR THAT SHOOTOUT. MY AUNTIE ” ALICE ” WORKED WITH YOU MANY YEARS UNTIL SHE RETIRED. WE TALKED AT THE FUNERAL. IS IT TO LATE FOR ME TO AUDITION FOR THE NEW HOST? TO FOLLOW IN YOUR FOOT STEPS WOULD BE THE BIGGEST ” HONOR” OF MY LIFE, BIGGER THEN ALL THE MEDALS AND ALL THE HERO STUFF. YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A HERO TO ME. SO LET ME KNOW IF I COULD FOLLOW IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS AND THE BIG BIG SHADOW OF MR. BOB BARKER. NOBODY WILL EVER BE ABLE TO FILL YOUR SHOES. YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A LIVING LEGEND TO THE PUBLIC.
WISHING YOU THE VERY BEST AND GOD’S SPEED IN THE MANY YEARS TO COME. YOU HAVE ALWAYS MADE US PROUD.

I ‘ve been watching Mr. Barker ever since I can remember. From Truth to the Price is Right. When Bob started MCing Price in 1972, I continued following the show through my Military hitch in the USNavy aboard the USS Kitty Hawk. Never missed an episode when we could get the show, which was quite often. Watching the Price is Right with Bob was how i started my day, just like taking that necessary medication to get on with it. I am sadened that Bob is leaving, but also happy for him. It’s time he relaxes abit. Who will be Bob’s successor? There is alot of talent out there, but none that will surpass that of the greatest MC of all times, Mr. Bob Barker. WE LOVE YOU BOB , from all of your adored fans in North Dakota. It will never be the same.

Bob, cannot be improved on just replaced.

I wish nothing but the best to you Bob Barker!! Cheers and Congratulations!!! No one else could have even come close to entertaining the public the way you have for all those wonderful years on the Price. You made each and every game played as exciting as if it were the very first one. Nova Scotia, Canada, will certainly miss your exuberant personality that we came to know and love.
Farewell and Godspeed!

I want to say that I am so amazed of all of the many years you have been doing the Price is Right. All of the estatic people you have dealed with every day, but we won’t forget you! I have wanted to be on the show forever, but I live so far away and I also am not 18 quite yet…Thanks for everything, I luv ya sooo much!!!

I KEEP TELLING THEM TO STAY AWAY FROM YOU SO YOU DON’T GET HURT. ALSO I WANT YOU TO ENJOY YOUR RETIREMENT. LOVE YOU LINDA P.S. THEY NEED A YOUNGER MAN TO TAKE YOUR PLACE LIKE TODD NEWTON. IF THEY GET GEORGE HAMILTON AT 70 WE WILL JUST GET USE TO HIM AND THEN HE WILL RETIRE. I WANT SOMEONE THAT WILL STAY 35 YEARS LIKE YOU DID. I’M GONE NOW LOVE YOU.

June 15, 2007 @ 3:30 pm
My comment is this, Bob Barker is the price is right there is nobody who could fill his shoes. I think the best thing to do is retire the show, understand people watch the show because of Bob,he is so well loved. To bring in someone new it would not work, the show would fail. I love Bob as much as the next person but I think its time to move on. Bob thanks for the years! Andy Jennings
Bill said,
June 16, 2007 @ 11:11 am
Bob– You must be kidding? Leftist Rosie? Apparently your audience thinks the same, as 80% listed her as the ‘least favorite’ replacement host for your show. She’s your friend??? Upon reading that, my 5 decade appreciation and admiration for you just plummited. I’m stunned that you, Bob Barker would even consider destroying your life long accomplishment (The Price Is Right) by dumping it in the toilet, to allowing Rosie to flush it all away. What a sad ending to an American Success Story. Hopefully, common cense will prevail.
Long time admirer,
Bill

Why would you take a good show and put someone as bad as rosie on it. What would make you think, that by taking someone no one else no one else wants would make your show stay on the air when everyone stops your watching your program.

You will be sadly missed from my morning game show. I have been watching
for along time. Enjoy your retirement and stay active and help with the pets and make sure they are spade and neutered. Good- bye everybody. NO ROSIE ! Please NO ROSIE ODONNELL , if she replaces you, i will not be watching TPIR. Get someone young and entertaining like Wayne Brady or Doug Davidson from The Young and The Restless. Miss you Bob Barker, no one will fill your shoes on The Price Is Right.. Make the right choice and have
Bob Barker come back part time until they find his replacement. Love in California and around the world for our Bob Barker. Good bye everybody Sadly missed by all who love you in the morning.

Hey Bob,
We have loved you for years but have lost all respect for you because of your wanting Rosie O’Donnell to replace you. She is a big-mouthed trouble maker that doesn’t belong anywhere on TV much less your beloved show. Maybe your old age is starting to show up. Please rethink your choice.

Is there any way to get videos of Truth or Consequences??? My mother was on the show and she did not live past my 14th birthday. My aunt was on the show also. my mother’s name was Vivian Glass and my Aunt was Mildred Crothers. this would mean alot to me and my younger brother’s.
Bob–going to miss ya something awful.Thanks for the memories!!!!

Hi Bob, I grew up watching you and have enjoyed you as a T.V. game show host. I wish you the best of luck and the best of good health. So as far as a replacement is my mother and I have come up with a plan. We believe that Sam Elliott should be the game host and The Price is Right Studs should be Brad Pitt, Matthew McCoughneyand Johnny Depp. Just a thought that would be a lovely way to start the day. Going to miss you everyday, Best Wishes, Heather

I have been watching Price is right for most of my life. I have missed few shows and have so much love and respect for Mr. Barker. It will be hard to find someone that can fill his shoes. I just heard on the news that CBS was considering Rosie O’Donald. Please reconsider this and look for someone that we can learn to love and look forward to seeing our show each day.
Thank you!

Barbara Miller said,
June 20, 2007 @ 8:28 am
I just heard that Bob Barker had endorsed Rosie O’Donald as his replacement. I used to have a great deal of respect for him, but after reading about his endorsement of her, I no longer respect him. I believe there are a lot of people who will change their mind about him after this endorsement. I think he must be losing it!!!! Rosie has no respect for the United States and what it stands for. Bob always made comments about the service men in the audience and the great jobs they were doing for our country. Can you really see Rosie O’Donald doing that after all the things she has said? The show will not be on the air very long if she gets the job. I am a woman, and I feel the show should be hosted by a man!!!!
Mark Clouser said,
June 20, 2007 @ 9:17 am
Bob,
I have watched the show over 15 years, but come on, you got to tell cbs they are nuts trying Rosie!! She already had fudes with Donald Trump and Hasselback on the View, it does not makes sense for them! Pick Todd Newton, John O’hurley at least they have some game show experience that would carry on the show for another 30 years!!
Alfred Kelly said,

I CAN’T BELIEVE CBS IS EVEN THINKING OF HAVING ROSIE O’DONNELL REPLACE BOB BARKER ON THE PRICE IS RIGHT.
I AM A DEVOTED FAN OF THE PRICE IS RIGHT – I WATCH IT EVERY MORNING AT 10 A.M. IF SHE IS GOING TO BE THE HOST, THAT WILL STOP!
I FIND HER REPULSIVE!!!
THINK ABOUT GEORGE HAMILTON – HE DOES HAVE A MORE SUAVE WAY ABOUT HIM, AS DID BOB BARKER. ROSIE IS A CRUDE AND HARD PERSON, WITH NO APPEAL!!!
I HOPE YOU GIVE YOUR ACTIONS SOME REAL DEEP THOUGHT BEFORE YOU MAKE A MAJOR DECISION LIKE THIS!
Karen said,
June 20, 2007 @ 9:50 pm
Dear Bob,
My grandgaughter (age 9) and I watch your show every night (I tape it daily). She adores you and it is her dream to some time meet you “in real life” as she puts it. The Price Is Right has not only been a wonderful family show, but also has been a great math exercise for my granddaughter, Amanda. However, if Rosie becomes the next host our days of watching the “money show”, as Amanda calls it, will forever be a thing of the past! She is a disgrace to the human race and is certainly not fit for family viewing. What are you thinking to even suggest that a person like Rosie should take your well respected spot?
Sandra Nichols said,
June 20, 2007 @ 11:20 pm
Bob – How you will be missed on TPIR!! It will not be the same without you, no matter who replaces you, especially Rosie O’Donnell. She is undoubtedly the worst choice for your replacement. She is a vulgar, rude, crude, loud mouth who really shouldn’t be on T.V. at all. After having read the other comments posted on your fan site, I surely hope the producers of this great show, hosted by a great man, come to their senses and select someone with much more class than Rosie. I am sending this on behalf of myself, my mother and a number of other friends who will not watch the show if Rosie is selected. Enough said. I wish you the very best in your retirement. Enjoy it to the fullest. God bless you always. Thanks for all the wonderful years. You are the best.

BUT BOB PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THAT ROSIE ODONELL TO BRING THIS SHOW DOWN AFTER YOU WORKED SO HARD TO MAKE THIS SHOW THE # 1 GAME SHOW OF ALL TIMES. PLEASE KEEP HER OUT OR THIS CITY OF CINCINNATI WILL NEVER WATCH THE PRICE IS RIGHT SHOW EVER AGAIN. WE WILL PROTEST IT HERE.
BOB WE EXPECT FOR THE COMPANY TO EITHER GIVE YOU MORE MONEY OR HIRE A MAN………NO ROSIE…..ROSIE IS OUT…….KEEP HER OUT……..OR WE WILL CONTACT DONALD TRUMPH TO GET INVOLVED IN THIS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS…..BOB WE LOVE YOU AND BE GREATLY BLESSES..BUT NO ROSIE PLEASE…………
Jen said,
June 24, 2007 @ 3:57 pm
I am sorry to see Bob Barker leave, but all good things come to an end and it’s awesome he wants time to himself. In his wake, I certainly hope Rosie is not chosen. Shoot, Bill Engvall, Jeff Foxworthy or Wayne Brady would be great. John O’Hurley would bring class and style to the show. Rosie – Would not be appropriate to have “Barker’s Beauties” with a female gay host and if you put men on the show as models, then you have a female hostess more masculine than the men on stage. It wouldn’t look right. Put her on late night TV on a debate program similar to what Morton Downey Jr did years ago. Let her vent and release those anxieties – but leave TPIR up to anyone else.
Bill R. said,
June 25, 2007 @ 2:13 am
Rosie would be a great host. The producers would make her keep her political opinion to herself.
Got enough rude rednecks and foul mouth comics without giving them another medium to destroy. Don’t get me wrong, their comedy is great in the right venue.
Rosie has proven that she can host a daytime show. Let her have a chance if that is what they want.
Oh, maybe you would prefer that someone like the writers of southpark be allowed to stand on stage and spew out their foul language on another station for the kids to learn from.

I watched The Price is Right faithfully, until I heard that Bob Barker was going to retire. I haven’t bothered watching it anymore, after hearing that.
I am very grateful, to have an autographed picture of both Bob & Rod.
I’m glad that Rosie O’ Donnell won’t be the new host. She would be a bad influence, especially with female models.
I wouldn’t be surprised if The Price is Right goes off of the air forever, like Sale of the Century and other game shows did. Nobody could ever replace Bob. I liked his suspense, sense of humor, smile and gray hair.

I don’t like Drew Carey as a replacement for Bob Barker. Drew doesn’t have the heart like Bob did. He seems to just want to get a contestant off the stage as quickly as possible. When he explains the rules of a game, he mumbles. I think that the game show should be taken off the air. No one can do it like Bob!
Julie said,
May 29, 2008 @ 7:45 pm
It’s disheartening to see Drew Carey replacing Bob. The show just isn’t the same. Bob cared about his fans and contestants. It’s not worth while watching without Bob!

Some folks thought that 61 year old Tony Orlando would make a better host. He is very good/ interacts with live audiences. Drew Carey does very little interaction. That was what made Barker a good host, he was quick and witty. Orlando was physically as big as Carey three years ago- but slimmed down recently. Yes, I liked Carey on his own show, and on “Who’s Line…”. Sadly, he is far too flat here. He even told Wm. Shatner on his talk show, that he doesn’t really enjoy doing the show. I don’t think he be at the helm long.- DJ

Tony Orlando is an interesting choice. I could see that working.

We will miss you, Bob Barker. I Remember When they said,”And Now, Here’s The Star Of The(New) Price Is Right, BOB BARKER!!!!!!!!!” Oh, And I Heard That You Came Back To The Price Is Right for a showcase visit to show the audience your new book, Priceless Meories, and Where You Host WWE aka The Price Is Raw. You Will Be Missed, Bob.

I wish you could get someone else to be the “host” for the Price is Right.
You cannot hardly understand a word Drew Carey says. His voice is so aggreviating to listen to, he sounds like an auctioneer. His voice carries on and on and you can hardly make out a word he is saying, if you are lucky you can understand a few words of his last sentence.
Really miss Bob Barker.

Drew is so obviously nervous that you can’t help but notice . He never knows what to do with one of his hands. He either fiddles with his pocket or slips it in it.Like he just clams up at times.
He’s just not cut out for The price Is Right,let’s face it. No comedians should host the show.
