if (preg_match('/ The 6'1" television legend will turn 83 on Dec. 12 according to a CNN report. Barker's television career began when he served as emcee for the game show Truth or Consequences starting in 1956. He hosted the 1976 Miss Universe pageant and made appearances on numerous television shows. He made his big screen debut in 1996's Happy Gilmore, where he played himself and beat the hell out of Adam Sandler's character. Surprisingly, he also played his first non-self acting role in 1996 in NBC's short-lived Something So Right. And how many times growing up did we hear If Dan Castellaneta were to leave The Simpsons, you might see as big of an impact on a television show. When Jerry Orbach was forced to leave Law & Order due to illness after 2004, the show was never the same, but never before and never again will a television show be so changed than The Price is Right will be next summer. No one has been the epitome of a piece of entertainment the way Bob Barker has. That is what you call creating a buzz around your work. And please, help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered.
Bob Barker has earned his golden watch and leisure days. He was a naval fighter pilot in World War II, and worked at a radio station to finance his education after the war. During his game show years, he has given out more than $55 million in cash and prizes to contestants, according to an Internet Movie Database article.

Well, we may not see another Bob Barker again, but there's always another great host that may show The Price is Right in the 36th season.
When Bob Barker announced his retirement back in October 31st, 2006, his voice was cracky, and he was showing his wrinkles in his head.
It's got to come this day, but we can hope for a smooth transition towards a new era of The Price is Right in the fall of 2007. I am rooting for Todd Newton. He's just like Bob Barker, only he's only 37 years old. He does The Price is Right Live, and some say that he may just be as good as Bob Barker.
Remember, when Johnny Carson left the show, it was a big drag. But Jay Leno is here and the show is just as fun, so as David Lettermen.
Also, Remember Johnny Olsen? He was a hillarious announcer. But when Johnny died, it was hard. Next came Rod Roddy. But when Rod died, that was just as hard to come by.
But right now, I think in order to keep the Game Show ratings up, there should be in-show auditions of the next candidates, and Bob Barker should make a brief apperence to reaffirm the fans. Hopefully, though the Price is Right may not be the same, The Price may still be Right when they select the right host.
The great candidate would be Todd Newton, but maybe we could also have Richard Kern as the next host.
And like I always said, Bob Barker may be gone, but the show has to move on. Who knows, the Ratings may drop a bit when the new host come in, but in the few years, maybe the audience may get to know that he may just be as good as the last host, and maybe we may have a successful successor to Bob Barker.
