It will be hard to imagine daytime without Bob Barker. And yet the game show host will retire from his "Price is Right" duties in June after a series of tributes on CBS.
There will be one last souped-up nighttime version of the show that made "Come On Down!" famous on Wednesday, May 16th. The next night, the network will air "Bob Barker: A Celebration of 50 Years on Television."
Over on the Game Show Network next week, they'll be doing some celebrating of their own, with a week of special programming on the theme of Bob Barker.
Some of us pre-date "The Price is Right" back to Barker's "Truth or Consequences" -- which means he's been in living rooms since December 31, 1956, when Eisenhower was President.
