On June 15th, Bob Barker’s farewell episode on The Price Is Right was aired. I can remember watching TPIR religiously as a kid. Ok…and in college. I even played a man obsessed with The Price Is Right in a Spoof of The Office video me and some friends produced for a company awards banquet. My favorite game was by far Cliff Hangers. No real reason other than I just thought the yodel song was kinda funny. I think Ed Lau might be obsessed with TPIR too. He beat me to the “Fairwell, Bob” punch.
What would you do if you had a chance to get on The Price Is Right? Philip Barrett waited 5 days in line to get into the show. At first, I couldn’t stand his disturbing Elijah Wood-like smile but I quickly warmed up to the guy after he kept getting slammed.
Canadian contestant, Dean Lindstrom takes a spill (video) on his way, but ends up with one of 76 cars given away. Anyway, in case you missed the finale, here are the first and second halves of the show for your viewing pleasure!
Part 1: The Price Is Right Finale
Part 2: The Price Is Right Finale
And, of course, who can forget Bob Barker’s brawl with Adam Sandler on Happy Gilmore? This segment was aired on May 17, 2007 during his 50 years in television special.
And if Rosie O’Donell replaces Bob Barker as the TPIR host, I’ll never watch it again. On the bright side, maybe Adam Sandler can arrange to punch her lights out in a movie…but do it for real. Oh well.
FAREWELL, BOB! YOU WILL BE MISSED!

Dude Bob Barker is the man! I can’t believe he is gone, the show is done with him, I am skeptical of its continued success.

The cliffhanger game is awesome simply for the yodel music like you mentioned. I also loved Plinko… a few other games but I don’t know the names
BTW thanks for the video links, i missed the first half of the show… time to recap now!

I love Bob! I love his animal rights devotion. An I love the part where Adam goes, “… I went out and got myself spayed.” Miss you Bob!
