14 DAY TRIAL // Great news for viewers of The Price Is Right who were still hoping to see host Bob Barker return after his 2007 departure: it will happen in December, when CBS will be honoring the TV legend with an entire week of shows.
From December 9 to December 13, it will be Bob Barker week on CBS, USA Today reports. Because everyone knows how much he loves animals and how hard he campaigns to raise awareness on various animal issues, the shows will also include pet adoptions.
“On Thursday of that week (Dec. 12), Barker will surprise the studio audience by making a rare appearance on The Price Is Right, which is his 90th birthday. He'll even get to present a special showcase!,” the e-zine reports.
The episode has already been taped but, for the time being, these are all the details available about it.
However, many see in this tribute week a clear sign that Bob and the producers of the show have buried the hatchet after he was left out of all the 40th anniversary events of last year. Plus, it will also lead to the adoption of pets and it’s always a great thing to help puppies, kittens, and other cuties find new homes.
