CBS salutes the late Bob Barker with The Price is Right: A Tribute to Bob Barker, which airs in primetime Thursday, August 31. Barker, who hosted The Price is Right for 35 years, died August 26. Drew Carey, who took over as host of the game show in 2007, hosts the one-hour special.
“This tribute to the legendary Bob Barker will bring back great memories for generations of The Price is Right fans who loved Bob, his humor, his ability to connect with contestants and his innate talent for making the most out of every moment,” Margot Wain, senior VP of daytime programs, CBS, said. “Bob was one-of-a-kind; he’ll be remembered as an extraordinary host, a devoted animal activist, and, as he would put it, ‘a loyal friend and true.’ We’re so pleased to be able to salute his many accomplishments and honor his memory in this way.”
