After 35 years with CBS, Bob Barker exiting "The Price Is Right" this year, so the network is dedicating two hours of key May sweeps real estate to honoring him.

CBS announced Tuesday (April 3) that Barker will be the subject of a pair of primetime specials to air on Wednesday, May 16 and Thursday, May 17.

The Wednesday special will be a "Price Is Right Million Dollar Spectacular," promising bigger prizes and offering the contestants a chance to spin the while for $1 million.

The following night, CBS will run the package show "Bob Barker: A Celebration of 50 Years on Television." As one might expect, the special will be a celebration of Barker's 35 year run on "The Price Is Right"

"After 50 years in show business and 35 years on CBS, we want to give Bob a primetime sendoff befitting of an entertainment icon," says CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler. "Audiences everywhere will enjoy playing one more primetime show with Bob and then celebrating his amazing career and the moments that made his reign on The Price is Right so memorable."

CBS is also inviting fans to make up 15-second tributes to Baker to be posted on YouTube. The best of the viewer-submitted tributes will be broadcast on the network during either the primetime specials or during the regular daytime run of "The Price Is Right."

Barker was previously best known for hosting duties on shows like "Truth and Consequences" when he began hosting "The Price Is Right" on Sept. 4, 1972. In his time as host, Barker earned 13 individual Emmys and three Emmys as one of the show's producers. He received a Daytime Television Lifetime Achievement Emmy in 1999 and was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in June 2004.

I posted this last night but saw that Pav had already done so in his blog. I figured someone just link me to it so I decided to just change the topic to an error post.

the million dollar spectacular will be taped on april 16th & the tribute show will be taped on april 17th.

I wonder if Bob Barker's fellow game show hosts will be there to give him a proper sendoff as he heads into retirement? I think it would be appropriate to see Alex Trebek, Pat Sajak, Chuck Woolery, Peter Marshall, Wink Martindale, Jim Lange, Bob Eubanks and other game show notables to help give Bob Barker a proper sendoff. I'm sure his longtime Price is Right sidekick, Janice Pennington, will be part of that special as well. Among non-game show notables whom I feel should be apart of the special should include Larry King, Chuck Norris and Adam Sandler(yes, Bob, after he kicked Adam's rear in Happy Gilmore, taught him never to mock his show, again). I'm going to tape that special for prosperity.

It's gonna be something I'll never forget!!! Bob's gonna get the greatest sendoff ever!!!

This is great news! I'm looking forward to watching these shows.

I hope next week will be Bob Barker's last show on CBS. I'm gonna miss him so much after 35 years of hosting "The Price is Right". I used to watched that show since I was a kid and it was my favorite show. Bob Barker will be hosting its final week of the daytime version of "The Price Is Right", Wednesday will be the last "$1,000,000 Show" and of course 50 years of TV.

I love the show so much, but I'm so sad to see Bob Barker go at the end of its 35th-year run. :(

His last daytime show is being taped on June 6th. As of the writing of this the air date is slated for June 15th. There is talk of possibly holding off the airing of this show until september though. I will keep u posted.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to see Bob Barker's final daytime "Price Is Right" on June 15th. I'm very sad. "The Price Is Right" one of my favorite game shows since I was a kid and right up to this day.

I should rather watch "Wheel of Fortune", another one of my favorites.
