Spreading Holiday Cheer: Hi Lo Game Edition

To celebrate the holiday just yesterday, and also to give a shout out to Mr. Bob Barker who will be retiring in June after 35 years at the helm of 'The Price is Right', please do yourself a favor and check out this clip. Its worth the entire 4 minute investment. Thanks College Humor.



And considering we like to keep the news flowing here on 'The Weight', some programming to note in the coming weeks:

Emmy Award winner Bob Barker will be honored with two final primetime specials this May, paying tribute to his 50 years in show business and his upcoming retirement after 35 years of hosting The Price Is Right, the longest-running game show in television history. The specials will be broadcast Wednesday, May 16 and Thursday, May 17 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

On Wednesday, May 16, CBS will present The Price is Right Million Dollar Spectacular," Barker's final appearance in prime time hosting the show he has led since 1972. In this special primetime edition, contestants will have the opportunity to win bigger prizes and the chance to spin the wheel for $1 million.

On Thursday, May 17, Bob Barker: A Celebration of 50 Years on Television will include Barker's reminiscences about his 50 year career on television and his 35 years on "The Price Is Right," in addition to highlighting some classic games from the long-running show.
