And always remember to have your pets spayed and neutered.

Man, this sucks for the folks who loved TPIR (like me). But for him, all the best. After 50 years he sure as hell deserves it.

The show must go on!

Who will be the new host?

How about William Shatner?

    That's just because he hasn't aged in forty years.

    I'm just reaching the age where the constant effort to be there and do the show physically is a lot for me

    and he's 83. Bob must take pretty good care of himself.

    I wonder if they are going to try to replace him? How do you follow a guy who's hosted a show for 35 years?

    Yeah, Bob Barker is a relic from a different age--much like department store salesmen who actually try to hard-sell you on a product.
