Do you think they will continue this game show after Bob Barker retires? Do you think this show will end? Some game shows go on but with different hosts but I can not imagine Price is Right without Bob Barker. It would not be the same. How would you feel about this?

I was under the impression that Bob Barker already retired..didnt he? Or is he on his way out..I thought I heard he had retired..There will never be anyone else like him..Just like when they switch hosts for Family Feud.. [littlefranciscan]
I have not had the chance to watch the show in a while but he may have retired already. I watched this game show all the time when I was younger and even not too long ago. It would not be the same without him there. [kgwat70]
I agree it would not be the same without him but I think the show will still go on as it is a popular show. I used to watch it all the time but I haven't in awhile. So it really doesn't matter to me anymore. [brendalee]
I watched it all the time as well years ago and I figure they probably will replace him with someone but it will not have the same feeling or excitement. [kgwat70]
He retires in June or July of this year. I think they might try and get someone else to host, but I don't think it will stick and sadly I think the Price is Right will be over with after he leaves. Or rather a short time after that. [Penguinsangel]
Thank you for letting me and everyone know when he is planning on retiring. I will have to make sure I catch some shows before he leaves. I do not think the show will do very well after he leaves but it will go on at least for a little while. [kgwat70]
If they have high ratings, then they will continue it without him. If not, they will scrap it and use it as a re run. I don't watch it, so it would not bother me. [margieanneart]
My feeling would be people would still watch it or try out for the show but the ratings might not be as high without him being the host. People have grown to love the man and he has been doing the show for many years. [kgwat70]
I would like to say that the show will go on without Bob but i don't think that will happen.It will not be the same without him. [SSTRAWBERRY395]
I think they will try having the show with someone else but I do not feel that it will be very successful since Bob is the man there. It would be very awkward having someone else as the host of this game show. [kgwat70]
I'm just not sure it would be the same no matter what. It's like saying "Let's watch Gilligan's Island without Gilligan". He's just a part of the show and the most important part. I do think they're going to attempt keeping the show on, it's a huge hit and has been for so long that it would be a shame not to have it. Just not sure anyone will be ready for it without Ol' Bob Barker! [hockeygal4ever]
I really think it will be the end of the show. It just wouldn't be the same without Bob. I had a hard time when they got a new announcer after the one died. If they do keep it, it really won't be the same. You can't replace someone like Bob. I just wish I would of had the chance to go and be on the show. [beautyoperater]
It will be a very emotional farewell when he retires. He is the best game show host out there and is irreplaceable. I too wish that I could have been on that show and had the chance to meet him. [kgwat70]
I was wondering this myself. It is an enjoyable show and though it would not be the same without Bob I hope it does continue. [ldynimaway]
I think the show will suffer a little when Bob Barker retires. I have no idea who could take his place and make a show last as long as that. [stateroad]
I know when he retires, it will never be the same. It would be so strange!!! [Thoroughrob]
I think they will try to continue the show with someone else as a host, but I don't think it lasts for that long because that man kept it alive for that long. People got to know him more and if someone else gets to run the show, it'll take people awhile to adjust to that. And maybe it will continue and maybe not. Who knows? We'll see eventually. [Lydia1901]
