He will truly be missed after that time. I wonder who'll replace him?

Whoever replaces him, if anyone, will have some big shoes to fill.

I post on a fan site for the show, and everyone's pretty much shocked and disappointed, even though we knew this day would come. The day of his final show is going to be pretty emotional.

Let's hope he changes his mind. That show won't be the same without him, you can count on it.

LOL, me too. That is my biggest memory of the show. Watching the Price is Right with my grandma(who lived next door to me), and then all her soaps right after the noon news on the same channel. She is still doing the same thing 30 years later. :D

Have they announced who will replace him?

I think the show will survive. Look at Jay Leno after he took over for Johnny Carson.
