Barker to Host 'Right' for 34th Season
 
NEW YORK (AP) - Bob Barker has agreed to continue as host of "The Price Is Right" for a record 34th season, CBS announced.

"I was considering retiring this year and going into bodybuilding with the thought in mind of becoming governor of California," the 81-year-old Emmy-winning game-show host joked. "But I decided to instead stay with the body I have and the job I have."

Barbara Bloom, senior vice president, daytime programs, said Barker and "The Price Is Right" are cornerstones of CBS daytime.

"We're thrilled that Bob has agreed to continue for another year, no doubt delighting his legions of fans across the country," Bloom said in a statement Monday.

It was a lousy one, but I believe that was a joke. Barker ain't retiring anytime soon.

In the topic line, you said he was going to retire this year. It might've been unclear to Shaun that you didn't actually believe that to be true, but were simply referencing a joke made by Bob.
