Mr. ROD RODDY (Host): Here is the star of "The Price is Right," Bob Barker.
(Soundbite of applause)
MONTAGNE: Bob Barker taped his final episode yesterday after 35 years as host of "Price is Right." Fans slept outside the CBS studio in hopes of getting a seat. Rumors were flying that Barker would give away cars, but only one lucky contestant got one. Fans heartbroken at seeing the show go do have an outlet. CBS is soliciting 15-second goodbyes on YouTube.
