It's that kind of talk that has kept me out of the big time!    ;-)

Actually, I prefer Parkay -- I don't like the idea of a crown suddenly appearing on my head as I eat a sandwich. <rimshot>

On a serious note, does anybody know when CBS is planning the Primetime Special for Bob?  

I say that because depending what they do on that special, and when the tape date is, the Primetime show may technically be the last and final time Bob struts onto Studio 33 under The Price Is Right Banner.

From the Chicago Sun Times article

"Sandler may be a guest on the host's last "Price Is Right" or an earlier special in May, when Barker will celebrate 50 years in TV and 35 years on the game show.

I've heard April, but that is by no means set in stone.
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

I know I will try my darndest to be there. Does anyone know how many shows Bob will have taped once the finale is taped?[/quote]

A shitload. My best guess is close to 6,500 TPiRs.

Actually, it'll be somewhere between 6,800 and 6,900.  You have probably about 100 nighttime shows from the '70s to factor in, 30 (by then) primetime specials, and there's also the fact that the staff's own episode count for the daytime show is somehow short by 145.

And indeed, the show airing today, January 30th, is the 6,500th daytime episode.

Not to take anything away from it....and that total should top out around 6,850 shows.  Still...a shitload. :)

/even though this one is believable to the average person...
