It’s a little hard to think that Bob Barker’s time as host on The Price is Right is coming to a close, isn’t it?  According to Golden Road, CBS is scheduling two specials honoring host Bob Barker and the show itself.  On Wednesday, May 16th, CBS will air a new Million Dollar Spectacular at 8PM ET.  This will be taped on April 16th.  Also, on Thursday, May 17th, CBS will be airing a special tribute, “Bob Barker: A Celebration of 50 Years on Television”, at 8PM ET.  This will tape April 17th and is composed of three pricing games plus various clips.  If any information changes, we’ll tell you.  Visit CBS’s site for more information.

TMZ recently said that George Hamilton was a new front runner for the job as new host of The Price is Right, but I’ll believe it when I see it.  I still feel that John O’Hurley is the best choice from who they are auditioning.  Regardless, be sure to checkout the CBS specials and maybe you are lucky enough to get some tickets.
