This falls under the "likelihood of happening is slim to none" category, but I'd like to see Bob's final show be retrospective, like Johnny Carson's last Tonight Show. Otherwise, I agree with Robert and Chris.

With that good idea in mind, I can see it being more on the order of the 25th anniversary show.
Three games, clips, let's meet some people and show behind the scenes things and, of course, the Showcases.
Now, Mike, tell us who you met recently. You two look so cute in the Facebook photo.

Cute? Me? Mr. Howard, are you celebrating this Turkey Day Eve with some turkey of your own--Wild Turkey?

As mentioned here, it's John O'Hurley from a book signing in Harrisburg, PA this past Friday.

(Cute? Wow.)

Hey, maybe they'll show Yolanda, and those people fainting after winning the Showcase. I just can't get enough of those.

Not to mention the Samoans.

Maybe they'll show the first Grand Game winner, too, that chases Bob around the stage. I never get tired of seeing that.

ONLY if he makes the "She came on down and they came on out!" quip. Cracks me up EVERY time!

Given the level of esteem I have for Mr. Barker, I pray that they don't play "Switch?".

Ian Wallis · « **Reply #23 on:** November 22, 2006, 04:03:39 PM »

Speaking of clips, I love the one where the contestant turns down $5000 in Punch-a-Bunch. Bob and the audience plead with him to take the $5K, but he doesn't. Instead, he ends up winning $10,000.

I think that's one of the best moments in the show's history.

Yeah, I can see a retrospective...a Bob Barker This Is Your Life (hey, he used to work for Edwards)...I can hear it now.

Rich Fields: Bob, remember this voice?
Offstage: I have a restraining order, and you'd better keep that graying arm hair off of me!
Bob: Nope, can't remember.

Couldn't find this anywhere, do we know exactly when the final show will be aired? I'd like to set a reminder.

If I had to make a guess, I'd say at the end of the TV season, so May or June.

Is this going to be a primetime special?

No one knows yet when the season finale will be taping or airing.

I think you'd be right about the primetime, but they're so putting it in May sweeps IMHO. If I were them, it'd make a good Sunday night two-hour special.

If I had my druthers, I'd play:

Shower Game
It's Optional
On the Nose
Bullseye I
The Gallery Game
Give or Keep

Wait a sec. If it's gonna be in primetime, that would be a special, not the last regular show. The question is begged: Should the last regular show be just a regular show?
