Today an American icon hangs up his skinny ass microphone. Bob Barker is retiring after 35 years as the host of The Price is Right. Where else can you see someone nearly wet themselves over the most hideous living room furniture set of all time? That’s right, American daytime television. It was a brilliantly simple concept only rivaled by the short lived Supermarket Sweep but what it had in exotic meats and cheeses, The Price is Right has in Barker’s Beauties. These showroom models have hung on his arm and demonstrated the proper way to ride a Jet Ski throughout all of his 35 years. Bob, in his ultimate Pimp Daddy style, refers to them his “lovelies.”
Huge groups of college students, housewives, on-leave military men and anyone else who felt the need to “Come on down,” would fill the overly enthusiastic crowd in the hopes to get on the show. The luckiest of contestants not only would get to talk to “The Bob” but would get to play Plinko the greatest game ever to grace the television screen. All of this is just leading up to the money shot, spinning the giant wheel. The contestants that got closest to $1.00 would move on to the Showcase Showdown were you might win an entire room full of crap, if you guess the actual retail value of said crap.
Yes, it is a sad day but will I be home watching the last show? NO PEOPLE, I have shit to do and it is on in the middle of the day!
Much love to you Bob!
Spay and neuter your pets.
