Bob Barker offers to be `Price' fill-in - Yahoo! News

LOS ANGELES - After 35 years as the host of "The Price Is Right," Bob Barker hung up his microphone for good on Wednesday. Or did he?

After taping his last show, the 83-year-old icon said he would happily return to the "Price" stage if a replacement host isn't found by the time the new season starts in the fall.

"They're having trouble finding someone to do the show," Barker told reporters during a post-show press conference. "And I've told members of the staff here that ... if they wanted me to do it for a few more months, I would do it.

"I don't want to walk out on CBS or the company if they're in that position because they've been too good to me."

The production company left the door open Thursday on the possibility of such a return.

"I am glad to know that Bob is thinking about coming back!" said Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO of FremantleMedia North America. "We haven't made our final decision yet because, as you can imagine, we want to make sure that we leave no stones unturned."

Barker taped his last episode — his 6,586th — of the popular CBS game show Wednesday, retiring after five decades on national television. The episode is scheduled to air twice June 15: once at its usual time and again that evening.

The silver-haired host ended his record tenure by blowing kisses and working in the same low-key, genial fashion that made him one of daytime TV's biggest stars. He closed the show with his usual, "Help control the pet population, have your pets spayed or neutered. Goodbye everybody."

Once the cameras stopped rolling, he told the studio audience: "I thank you, thank you, thank you for inviting me into your home for more than 50 years. I'm truly grateful, and I hope that all of you have enjoyed your visit to `The Price Is Right.'"

Reruns of Barker-hosted shows will play throughout the summer.

A new host has yet to be named. Among those reportedly in the running are Todd Newton of the E! network, Mark Steines of "Entertainment Tonight," George Hamilton and John O'Hurley.

Guess what... he's considering having Rosie replace him.

ARGH!

If they use her, I won't watch the show!

Man, I liked rosie better when she wasn't so... I can't find the bloody word, I just know she's damn annoying, arrogant and just plain blah. When she was family-friendly things were ok.

I dont think it should be sold on Ebay..I think it should be donated to a museum. I wouldnt pay big bucks for it..unless it can be an investment?

God, I hope not! It would just change the dynamics of the show. This is not a show for controversial issues.

LakeTahoe · 06-17-2007, 09:35 AM

I copied and pasted from the Ebay.

All proceeds, 100%, generated through the sale of this microphone will be given to United Activists for Animal Rights -- an organization that is near and dear to Bob's heart.

Oh that's good! I thought it was sold so some greedy people can make money from it. Thanks for the FYI.

LakeTahoe · 06-17-2007, 09:41 AM

That's Bob Barker in the chair and everyone obey him! LOL!

ROSIE??? (O'Donnell?)

I would not watch the show anymore! Maybe just once and see how she does...I am sure she won't do a great job as Bob Barker does!

Farewell Bob Barker!! You'll be missed from all the awesome fans of yours!

I think The Price is Right won't be popular after the replacement. Wait and see.

Halifax, The Daily News: Entertainment | Barker endorses O'Donnell as successor on The Price Is Right

Barker endorses O'Donnell as successor on The Price Is Right print this article

AP

Bob Barker endorsed his friend Rosie O'Donnell as a possible successor on The Price Is Right, although the newly retired host is not sure CBS wants a woman to take over the game show.

"I believe they're going to have a meeting with Rosie," Barker said backstage Friday night at the Daytime Emmy Awards, where he won his 19th trophy.

"She knows the show," he said. "There's no doubt in my mind she could do the show. Now, whether they want a lady host, I don't know. I've never heard that discussed. As far as I know, they've only auditioned men."

Barker said his friendship with O'Donnell goes back several years, when she had him as a guest on her old daytime talk show.

"She told me she loved The Price Is Right and wanted to host it one day," he recalled.

Among those mentioned as possible replacement hosts have been Todd Newton of the E! network, Mark Steines of Entertainment Tonight, George Hamilton and John O'Hurley.

Barker retired last week at age 83 after 35 years of giving away vacations and cars on the hit CBS game show. But he said he may be back with some specials featuring vintage clips and guests.

diehardbiker · 06-17-2007, 11:54 AM

Yea, if Rosie ever host, I'd BOYCOTT TIPIR!

PowerON · 06-17-2007, 11:55 AM

Right now, CBS isn't sure about Roise. They got bad feel about it.

Freaky Cat · 06-17-2007, 01:34 PM

i watched it last friday.. it wont be the same without him!

She tends to change her views frequently and makes biased decisions. That's not something we want from a game show host.

I remember one of Rosie's talk shows where she gave one of the worse Who Wants To Be A Millionaire losers... a car.

Sheila · 06-17-2007, 03:22 PM

It doesn't matter who they pick... NO ONE can replace Bob.
