A great picture, but NOT from Bob's LAST show...he wore a dark suit and blue striped tie on that final episode.

Also, Clock Game was not played on that episode, either.

That is an AMAZING picture. Whoever took it is an artist, even if the lighting and pose were strickly a coincidence, the fact that the picture was taken at that same moment was purely genius.

And the pic itself is kinda sad too ...

From the closing days of the best Price is Right we'll ever know (at least that's how I feel)...what a unique and amazing photo. Simply marvelous! Miss you, Mr. Barker!

Even if it wasn't truly from Bob's last show, the somber tone that this picture conveys is nothing short of amazing. We'll all miss Bob dearly, but as we all know, the show must go on!

That is a man who knows it's time to go but doesn't really want it to be over just yet.

Also, if Clock Game's presence is any indication, this is from his second-last show.

That would mean the picture was taken the day before, on June 5, 2007.  Do we have episode videos from those shows to compare the outfit?

Bob's entire last week is on the DVD release. I can't find my copy at the moment, but the episode is readily available to quite a few of us.

(In fact, I need to buy a new DVD set. My DVDs are intact, but my linear notes were left on a table that got wet. It ruined the booklet.)

This is from his penultimate show, and looks like the same suit.

Kinda ironic the clock has run out of time, but I doubt that was the intention.

That would be correct if the second hand was at zero, but it was reset to 30.

The photo itself is terrific, and it sums up the final chapter of the Barker era.  Bob doesn't look like he wants to step down, but he must.
