Can anyone enlighten me (us) as to what time Barker's final show will tape today?

Thanks in advance!

Normal taping time is 2:30 although in recent years, they have started taping earlier to go home earlier.

How many of you woke up on this morning and one of the first things you thought of was, "This is the day Bob Barker tapes his last show"?

I didn't, but the CBS promotions machine is in overdrive....affiliates are running stories and east coast O&O's are getting live shots at 5pm for the taping.

Here's a small article about fans waiting for today's show.

Not sure if I agree with this quote from a potential contestant: "I'd rather win a couch from Bob Barker than a million dollars from Howie Mandel"

I'll give the fellow a pass on his lapse of logic seeing how by now he could be quite sleep-deprived.

Since an overlong game of Cities & Knights of Catan had me not going to sleep until about 2, the answer to that question was "not me." In fact, here were the first three things I thought of:[list=1]

Goddamn I'm tired.
I am *totally* driving into Starbucks on the way to work.
Goddamn I'm tired.

Absolutely not. Yesterday was the last day for teachers at my school until possibly early September. The only thing to cross my mind this morning at 8 AM was "What should I do on this first full day off this summer?" The answer: Go back to sleep. It's good to be a teacher.

I've always wondered, since I've graduated from high school back in 1999, if teachers get paid over the summer break. If so, what a great gig!

It varies from district to district. Where I'm at, I am getting paid through the summer. On top of that, I'll be teaching summer school at another district through the end of July plus there's a good chance I might do some work for my school's board of directors (curriculum, prep for next year, etc.) over the summer. Three checks is certainly better than zero.

I did, but can I be given a pass on this one?

I expect to be deaf by the end of the day.

Generally, teachers are salaried anyhow, right? You'd have to be, if you were hourly, you could claim those hours spent correcting papers as overtime and make a mint, based on watching my ex-girlfriend. (Life just hasn't been the same since that restraining order.)

So the way it happens where my mom (who is not a teacher, she's a school secretary, but it still applies, I think) works, is that employees get the same amount of money regardless, but they have the choice whether they want it spread over the entire year, or just when they are working.

So really, at least in my mom's case, "getting paid over the summer" is a misnomer. You get paid the same regardless, it's just a matter of the installments in which you want to receive it.

If I was paid by the hour for the work I did this year, all I'd do this summer is lounge in the backyard, drinking tall glasses of lemonade.

Teachers at my school didn't get the option of being paid from September to June, or for the whole year. The option of being paid 9 months out of the year or all 12 likely varies from district to district.

Given that your name ends up in the credits, I completely understand. Good luck to you and the crew on today's show.
