Why Best Week Ever is going to miss Bob Barker

by Bob Sassone, posted May 16th 2007 1:03PM

The Price Is RightBack in November, Julia gave her five reasons why she was going to miss Bob Barker, who is retiring from The Price Is Right this year. Just in time for his tribute on CBS tomorrow comes this list from Best Week Ever, the reasons why they're going to miss the silver fox.

Among the reasons are the women who kiss Bob on the cheek when they come up on stage (I think I saw a guy do it once) and the $100 bill that he keeps in his pocket that he gives to bidders who get the contestant's row price exactly right.

I remember several years back when he used to have the contestant actually reach into his pocket to take out that money. Thankfully they changed that.

I'm a huge Price is Right fan. My sick day treat. I'll miss Bob Barker when he's gone, but I'm looking forward to tonight's special.

Males may not kiss Bob.

Because of inflation, that $100 bill has grown to five $100 bills. But he still hands them to the winners instead of letting them take the bills out themselves. Probably the lawsuits had a lot to do with that.
